...more dark tunes...

ELECTRIC TAURUS
STONER ROCK/DOOM
DUBLIN

Electric Taurus formed in 2010 as a recording project by Matt and Rob before evolving into a full gigging band.
After various member changes throughout 2010/2011, the line up settled down with Mauro Frison (Alternative 4) on the drum stool.
In April 2011, Rob left the band to move to England. Over the next 4 months, Matt and Mauro kept on writing songs as a duo and came up with a totally new set of gloomier and doomier songs.
September 2011 saw James Lynch joining the band as bass player. Matt then took up vocal duties and this formation started the recording of their first E.P.
In May 2012, Electric Taurus was offered a record deal for their first album by Italian indie label Moonlight Records. The album Veneralia was recorded in July and will be released mid-October.
The band is heavily influenced by both the giants of the 60s and 70s (Black Sabbath, Hendrix, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Deep Purple) and the underground bands of the same era (Buffalo, Leaf Hound, Iron Claw, Primevil, Hard Stuff, Captain Beyond).
All this retro fuzz music is then blended with the 90s Monster Magnet, Sleep, Soundgarden, Kyuss, Electric Wizard and Orange Goblin.

"EOS" was nominated for the Best Metal album of 2010 at the Estonian Music
Awards.

"Back with a new review....today with the blues based dude's from GEEZER, they mix hard rock elements with heavy blues music, sometimes they remind me on "Clutch" but also on the farmer rock band "Left Lane Cruiser" or "The Black Keys"...the dirty voice of the frontman comes with full range  harmonise with the whole band.

...down on your knees...

TONER LOW
Holland
Doom/Drone

Toner Low are a band from Leiden (Holland), having been around for fourteen years now. Starting off as a more or less traditional, yet quite directionless stoner/space/guitar rock-band they gradually evolve into doomy psychedelic droners that emphasize on repetitive riffing and minimalism with an overwhelming massive and heavy sound. This sound is first heard to its fullest on Toner Low"s debut cd, that got released in 2005.

"I know this band since their beginnings and i'm really a fan of this band...they create a amazing downtuned wall of sound and a energyful moment...the sound of the record is so heavy that you feel the pressure on every tone...and the tones blades long and convincingly. This third album comes with a really big destructive cock and!
