Cloak is a black metal band based in Atlanta, GA, and comprised of Scott Taysom on vocals and guitar, Max Brigham on guitar, Sean Bruneau on drums, and Billy Robinson on bass. They combine black metal with anthemic rock and Southern sludge to create their own unique sound, with lyrics heavily inspired by Taysom and Bruneau’s belief in Satanism.

Taysom and Bruneau started the band in 2013 out of a desire to bring darker music to the Southern US. Taysom told Revolver, “We decided that there wasn’t a whole lot going on locally or regionally that invoked that darker, dangerous thing that we sought out in music — whether it was an old rock & roll record or a death-metal record. So we decided to form something that had that.”
