Cody Parks And The Dirty South Celebrate New Deal With 'Snake Shaker' Video
(Freeman) Cody Parks And The Dirty South are proud to announce they have officially signed to Frontiers Label Group via BLKIIBLK. To celebrate the announcement, the band shares their new single "Snake Shaker," putting their brand of Country Metal on full display.
About the signing, Cody Parks shares: "I'm beyond excited and blessed to be a part of the BLKIIBLK/Frontiers family. The opportunity to work with industry veterans Jeff Stevenson, Tom Lipsky, and Bob Chiappardi was a no-brainer. Having a team that is aligned with my vision for Country Metal makes this the perfect home for my music, and I can't wait for the world to hear what we have cookin."
On the new single, he continues: "'Snake Shaker' is a textbook example of our brand. When I started making Country Metal years ago, I wanted to make heavy metal music and tell stories about some of the more unheard-of, potentially unnerving things people might encounter in the South. 'Snake Shaker' is exactly that."
Cody Parks And The Dirty South are redefining what a Nashville band can sound like. Led by singer and songwriter Cody Parks, the group fuses the culture of Southern country with the power and attitude of classic heavy metal-creating a sound they proudly call Country Metal.
What started as a vision for Parks became a full-force band in 2019 when he assembled a group of players who shared the same love for big riffs, high energy, and an unapologetic rock attitude. Drawing inspiration from both country storytelling and hard-hitting metal acts like Metallica, Ratt, and Pantera, Cody Parks And The Dirty South deliver music built on crushing guitars, driving rhythms, and hooks that hit just as hard as the breakdowns.
The band's genre-bending mashup "Thunder Cash '69," from their 2023 covers EP 'Smothered & Covered,' exploded online and across streaming platforms. The track went on to top the iTunes Rock chart in three countries and reach #3 on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales chart, introducing a wide audience to the band's unique blend of country authenticity and metal intensity.
That momentum recently led to the band signing a new record deal with BLKIIBLK / Frontiers Music, setting the stage for the next chapter of Country Metal.
With releases like 'Country Metal, Vol. 1' and a reputation for turning every show into a full-throttle party, Cody Parks And The Dirty South are proving that country and metal belong on the same stage.
