Hemlock are a heavy metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada, founded in 1993.
History[edit]
Hemlock were founded in 1993 by Chad and Brian Smith in Las Vegas.[1] A prolific touring band, they have performed multiple national tours,[2][3] as well as international tours.[4] They have performed as an opening act for groups such as Slayer, Slipknot, Ministry, Meshuggah, Trivium, and Lamb of God.[5]
The band's bumper stickers, cut in the shape of a gaseous cloud emitted from a source, can be seen across the western United States affixed to numerous road signs which warn of the presence of deer and elk, positioned to make it appear that the animal is flatulating.
