Pet the Preacher was a Copenhagen, Denmark hard rock trio formed in 2010 by vocalist-guitarist Christian Hede Madsen, bassist Torben Wæver Pedersen, and drummer Christian Von Larsen, mixing 1970s blues-rock, stoner metal riffs, and prog-rock arrangements into a dense, slow-burning sound. The band released two albums — The Banjo (2011) and The Cave and the Sunlight (2014) — before disbanding in August 2015. Their brief run produced a small but regarded catalog within the Danish heavy rock underground.
