Alabama Thunderpussy, originally known as Alabama Thunder Pussy was a Stoner metal band from Richmond, Virginia. It was founded by Bryan Cox, Erik Larson and Asechiah Bogdan in 1996. Awesome music!
Bryan Cox, Erik Larson and Asechiah Bogdan founded ATP in 1996. Bill
Storms and Johnny Throckmorton completed the lineup, and the band signed
to Man's Ruin Records in 1998. They debuted with Rise Again later that year, and recorded River City Revival, released in 1999. 2000 brought Constellation. The band released a split with Halfway to Gone the same year. The split was the first time that the band was billed as Alabama Thunderpussy. 2002's Staring at the Divine followed. Alabama Thunderpussy parted ways with Man's Ruin and singer Johnny Throckmorton later that year, signing to Relapse Records and hiring new frontman Johnny Weills. Weills performed vocals on the album Fulton Hill (album),
released on May 25, 2004. By the time of the following ATP album, Open
Fire, Weills had left the band to form Danballah in Columbus, Ohio. He
was replaced by Kyle Thomas, formerly of New Orleans bands, Floodgate
and Exhorder.
Members of ATP have appeared in many sideprojects. Larson has
released two discs under his name, the most recent in 2005. Larson has
also appeared in the side project Axehandle with Bryan Cox and Ryan Lake. Erik will also be appearing in another side project group Birds of Prey
with a release being slated for July 25, 2006. Erik Larson was also the
former drummer for AVAIL. Bryan Cox was a member of instrumental band Suzikiton and was on their one release, Service Repair Handbook. Former vocalist Johnny Throckmorton is now the vocalist for Richmond, VA based Before the Machine.
Open Fire, the band's latest CD was released March 6, 2007 on Relapse Records.
