Dark Habits-Cave Paintings EP (2017)

Tarasque-Innen Aussen LP (2018)

Country: Germany
Genre: Post Metal, Doom, Crust, Sludge
Label: WOOAAARGH/Dedication Records
Tracks: 5
Length: 26.20'

'Innen Aussen' is the debut album by crushing fresh sludge monsters TARASQUE. Hailing from Münster, the power trio create heavy, sludge infused post-metal with an emphasis on being as loud as possible! The five tracks here are centred around enourmous, spine-crackingly heavy riffs, broken up with gentle dynamic builds and grooving, almost stoner rock tinged sections. The general sound is one of visceral weight however, and the lack of reverb-drenching or heavy effects on the vocals and volume of the instruments gives a strongly present feel to this album, and a sense of urgency to the heavy sections. 'Innen Aussen' clips along at quite a pace in general for a sludge release, and many of the tracks here are certainly neck-snappers that will sit excedingly well with fans of groove and headbanging. Definately a band to look for live!   (Press Note)

*Wow!  This is some insanely brutal sounding post metal, doom, crust, and sludge.  FFO: Nortlesss, Year Of No Light, and Lightbearer.
