Pound Tickets

Pound is a Seattle-based instrumental grind/math metal duo known for their relentless wall-of-sound performances. Formed by Ryan Schutte (nine-string baritone guitar) and David Stickney (dual drum kits), the pair crafts dense, groove-forward compositions that push the boundaries of intensity and atmosphere. Their sound blends djent and doom-inflected grooves into a seamless, high-velocity experience that resonates with fans of heavy, instrumental music across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

As a project rooted in exploration and technical precision, Pound has built a reputation through meticulously crafted records and selective live appearances. Though 2025 touring is not publicly announced, the duo continues to engage with listeners via Bandcamp releases and press coverage, reflecting a steady, no-fuss approach to releasing music that music fans trust.

Key releases include the highly regarded ••, released in 2019 on Silent Pendulum Records, followed by the self-titled Pound album in 2018, also on Silent Pendulum Records. Notable coverage includes a 2019 video premiere for a track from •• by Decibel Magazine, highlighting Pound’s impact within the instrumental metal community. A profile feature in Nine Circles (2018) further showcases the duo’s approach to rhythm, texture, and performance.
