BRITISH PROG-DOOMSTERS POSEIDON ANNOUNCE NEW LINEUP, PLANS TO RETURN TO THE ROAD AND FOLLOW UP ACCLAIMED DEBUT
POSEIDON demolished all expectations with their 2017 Ripple
Music debut, Prologue, a four-song, 44-minute concept piece that wove together
elements of doom, sludge, prog and spacious atmospherics.
The band stormed festivals including Hard Rock Hell,
Bloodstock Open Air and DesertFest London and toured with the likes Orange
Goblin, Saint Vitus and Mothership, and Prologue was received with almost
reverential worldwide acclaim, such as:
Poseidon bring
together a sound that explores the vastness of sonic landscapes. From a rage of
aggressive riffs, barked vocals and elemental drums to sea-deep rhythms and
unearthly melodies, they invoke a catastrophic nature as they dive headfirst
into an abyss of heavy rock. - Terrorizer
Prologue is a
fascinating extrapolation of the doom genre into other realms and Poseidon are
truly a band to pay attention to. - Scene Point Blank
A humid, thick
experience that captures delectably the story of a society in crisis... the
quality of Poseidon's work will keep you transfixed until the inevitable and
stormy end. - The Sludgelord
Unfortunately, that year also saw the departure of group
members Matthew Bunkell and Jamie Starke, halting the band's forward momentum.
The delay didn't last long.
Not the types to give up on something so special, Raza and
Matt recruited Yusuf Tary from sludge behemoths SLABDRAGGER to assume bass and
vocal duties, and welcomed back Roland Scriver from doom legends SERPENT VENOM
on second guitar.
Armed with this new arsenal and elevated sonic pedigree,
they set immediately back to work.
POSEIDON are currently in the studio writing furiously. Late 2018 will see the band return to the
road, and if all goes well, the next chapter in The Medius Chronicle will
surface next year, with more updates to come as the massively-anticipated
record comes together.
