about

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

Musical Influences: Budos Band, Black Sabbath

Musical Inspiration: "David and Dennis have been working on different projects around funk and soul for years. With Tetrao Urogallus they wanted to finally pursue an inner urge for dark sounds and combine it with their influences. Groovy sounds with fuzzy guitars and an unbeatable brass section.
They met for a jam/recording-session to see how it goes. In the end the self-titled debut album 'Tetrao Urogallus' was born on one weekend."

Artist Statement: "With the song 'Tetrao Urogallus' the whole idea of the concept of the band was born: the eponymous capercaillie/wood grouse. The mystical sounds reflect a gloomy forest atmosphere through which the capercaillie makes its daily rounds - not urban and deserted. The title of the first single 'Tetrao Urogallus' is also the eponym of the band and of the upcoming album. So this song is very important for us "

Track Description: Tetrao Urogallus presents their eponymous proto-metal, psychedelic funk debut single on Color Red “Tetrao Ugogallus.” Through this track, the concept of the band was born as the title is Latin for ‘wood grouse’ and all subsequent tracks are Latin terms for flora and fauna. The mystical sounds in “Tetrao Urogallus” reflect a gloomy forest atmosphere through which the capercaillie makes its daily rounds. Collaborators David Nesselhauf and Dennis Rux have worked together in several projects and the two are able to pursue their love for dark sounds, fuzzy guitars, and captivating brass sections in Tetrao Urogallus.

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.
