This is the second single of Varoshan's upcoming debut album "...And Then The Rains Came".
Varoshan is a slowburning hardcore metal band building musical monoliths and shamanistic rituals. The music builds on progressive paths and is at the same time as far as you can be from curbstomping hardcore and close to the heart of the non-compromising attitude of it. Musically the riffs hail to many worlds and each listener will find their comparables from their own listening history. Just to set the tone, you can expect to find vibes reminiscent of Neurosis, slowburning Converge, sludge-era Tombs and Soilent Green covering Black Sabbath. It's slow, it's dark and it's gritty.
The project started as something closer to doom metal, but found its way into its current shape as the musicians involved brought their flavor to the mix. The musicians are geographically divided to Helsinki (Finland), Berlin (Germany) and Leeds (UK) and have been parts of their respective scenes for a long time, with a wide variety of bands and projects on their CV:s.
Elitbolaget will release the debut album digitally and on cassette. If there's interest for a CD or vinyl release, we'll gladly talk details. Similarly for interviews, reviews, requests for review copies of the cassette, requests for shows, etc. contact
elitbolaget@gmail.com or Matias Löfman / +358 40 5709066.
Varoshan is going to play shows, but bear in mind that the geographical division of the musicians means a little less flexibility in show arrangements than with your average band.
