Matt C. White

Matt C. White is a Brooklyn-based artist and multi-instrumentalist whose music fuses Southern grit with crushing fuzz, psychedelic exploration, and heavy cosmic grooves. Raised in rural North Carolina, White developed his signature guitar style through swampy blues and heavy rock before becoming a fixture in New York’s underground scene with projects including Certain Death, 95 Bulls, San Salvo, Grandpa Jack, & Dead Seconds, Over the years, White has built a reputation for genre-bending heavy music that balances soulful melodies with cranked amps, spring reverb-soaked atmospheres, and tape echo trips into the outer reaches of psychedelia. His solo catalog stretches from the acoustic hauntings of Wallow in the Hollow to the sludge-drenched weight of Punishers, but 2025’s A Cosmic Year marked his most expansive statement to date. Blending psychedelic rock opera, vintage fuzz worship, Southern groove, and searing vocal performances, A Cosmic Year pushed deeper into cosmic territory while retaining the grit and intensity that define White’s sound. White now turns toward his next release, The Flood — a conceptual plunge into heavy psychedelic nostalgia inspired by the hypnotic haze of The Black Angels, Cream, and Hawkwind, fused with modern stoner-rock heft and apocalyptic atmosphere. Saturated in towering fuzz, cavernous reverb, and blown-speaker psych delirium, The Flood continues White’s evolution further into cinematic psychedelic excess.
