Ripple Music is proud to announce the worldwide signing of UK stoner/doom
rockers Poseidon to their ever growing roster of top-notch heavy bands. Having
gestated for almost a year in the guts of East London,
Poseidon rise to the fore. With their seeds rooted firmly in the dense sounds
of 70's rock and Doom metal, and having spawned from bands including the now
defunct Light Bearer, the band bring together a sound that celebrates the
vastness of the sonic landscape. From a rage of aggressive riffs, barked vocals
and elemental drums to swimming rhythms and earthy melodies, Poseidon invoke
the catastrophic nature which occupy both ends of their musical spectrum and
dive head first into the abyss of the melancholic.
Raza Khan on signing to Ripple:
“A chance to sign to a label of this realm and reputation,
doesn't come everyday. Poseidon are
honoured and humbled to become part of the Ripple family, alongside such
luminaries as Wo Fat, Mos Generator and Mothership. We couldn’t imagine better
people to work with than Todd and Pope, and we cant wait to unleash the first
Poseidon release next year!”
Poseidon bring a whole new dynamic to their heavy rock, with
pulverizing heavy riffs, moments of stark, barren beauty, and mixture of
Neurosis-ish drone and nuclear test site volume. Or, as Kerrang! Magazine has said,
"Poseidon are so heavy they'd probably trigger a tidal wave if they played
too close to the docks!" Poseidon
are currently writing their debut studio album, set for a 2017 release.
Having already stormed major festivals such as DesertFest
London, Bloodstock Open Air, and Hard Rock Hell, and having shared the stage
with the likes of Mastodon, Orange Goblin and Electric Citizen, Poseidon aims to take their critical success
to new heights on their upcoming debut for Ripple Music. 2017 will surely see Poseidon back on the
road again, and at the forefront of the heavy rock and metal world.
Stay tuned for more news coming soon!
