Stoner rock band Beef Supreme hails from the desert southwest United States. Drawing from influences such as Black Sabbath, stoner metal bands Queens of the Stone Age and The Sword, doom rock outfit Sleep, and progressive metal titans Tool, Beef Supreme has crafted a sound that is equal parts grinding sludge and classic metal. Playing together since 2007, guitarist and vocalist Niki BelGrande, drummer Lou Chalupa, and bassist Macho Grande are veterans of various local metal scenes and bands.
