Description
Viscera/// is a psychedelic post-metal four piece based in northern Italy, est 2000. The band is considered as a unique combination of the darkest sides of many underground genres like grindcore, black/death metal, ambient, drone and of course psychedelic music.
Tons formed in 2009 with members of hardcore bands from the 00's Turin scene (The Redrum, Lama Tematica and NoInfo). Slow and heavy sounds take the place of frenetic HC rhythms; the texts speak about weed in an ironic way, but also about a certain tendency to esotericism that characterizes the city of Turin. In 2010 they recorded a demo and in 2012 their first full length "Musinee\u0300 Doom Session, Volume 1", recorded by Danilo "Dano" Battocchio, was released for the Turin-based Escape From Today (EFT050) and for the young Roman label, Heavy Psych Sounds (First non Black Rainbows release, HPS005). In 2013 a split with Lento from Rome came out and Tons began to plow the European venues, opening the stage for bands like Bongzilla, Unsane, Church of Misery, Napalm Death, Pentagram etc ...
In 2015 the drummer Marco Dinocco left the band and was replaced by Andrea Peracchia (Dogs for Breakfast/Slaiver). Paolo Paganelli (Woptime/Linea77) was also added as lead guitarist. In 2018 the second full length of the band "Filthy Flowers of Doom" was released for Heavy Psych Sounds Records, which would bring Tons again around Europe in 2018 and in 2019. In 2021 they released a split record with the mighty Bongzilla followed by a European tour together in 2022. On 7th October 2022 the band released a brand new album called "Hashension" and a repress for the 10th anniversary of their debut album "Musinee\u0300 Doom Session, Volume 1" with remastered audio and a new cover artwork.
During these years Tons played in many important Festival, such as Desert Fest London and Antwerp, Sonic Blast, Frantic Fest, Venezia Hardcore and HPS Fest.
QUOTE From the Band:"Three fun tracks for lovers of head banging who don't take themselves too seriously like our friends Teo Segale (Rumore Mag.) and Ranch Sironi (Nebula) to whom these songs are dedicated. "
This latest opus marks the band's studio comeback since 2018's "City Of Dope And Violence", plus the opportunity to work with underground scene juggernauts like Tons and Subsound Records and the consolidation of Alexander Lizzori as active producer ("Cyclops" / "2" era drummer and long time collaborator).
