about

Tetrao Urogallus’ “Euphorbia Helioscopia” is a psychedelic doom funk saunter soaked in fuzzy guitars and parading horn lines. Named after the sun splurge (“Madwoman’s Milk”), the track refers to the highly poisonous plant which keeps its head towards the sun soaking up evil and is said to cure liver cancer. The dark guitar vamps and tom drums usher in commanding horn lines that are unyielding and beckon unrelenting energy that point directly towards the track’s namesake. The Hamburg, Germany-based group’s debut album bridges the gap between fans of heavy metal as well of a new school of psychedelic instrumental music that falls into the same category as Budos Band and Menahan Street Band. “Euphorbia Helioscopia” is the third single by the brand new project that will be part of a full-length album released on Color Red in 2021.

Musical Style: Afro-Beat, Doom metal, Psychedelic rock, Funk-Rock, Proto Metal

Musical Influences: Budos Band, Black Sabbath, Menahan Street Band

Musical Inspiration: The track´s name refers to the sun spurge (madwoman´s milk), a rare highly poisonous plant which keeps his head towards the sun and (after all evil) is said to cure liver cancer. What could be more inspiring?

Artist Statement: During the session, I was constantly enjoying my instrument and the fun athmosphere, so there was no tension even so we did record most of the time - now, hearing the result, it is hard to believe I really did this. Another important lesson learned.

about

Tetrao Urogallus Hamburg, Germany

In the woods, far away from civilization, a rare bird holds court: Tetrao Urogallus, also known as the western capercaillie. His manners are grumpy, his voice abrasive, his strut flamboyant - a special creature to say the least.
Three-piece-outfit Tetrao Urogallus adopted this strange fowl as their totem, feeling like forgotten creatures of the deep forest themselves.
