Hot on the heels of their new album announcement, Eindhoven supermassive rock unit KOMATSU unleash a hypnotic, doomgazing new single entitled « Call Of The Wolves » today exclusively on Echoes & Dust. « Rose Of Jericho » is set for release on February 5th 2021 through Heavy Psych Sounds.
KOMATSU‘s powers of mass construction resurrected a rare desert flower in their fourth album “Rose of Jericho”. Light meets heavy and desolation meets beauty in the nine powerful songs that make up this album. “Rose of Jericho” combines a lyrical depth that resonates the current political rabbitholes with dark, groovy, warm riffs supporting rugged vocals. The sound of the album is a real mixture between stoner and metal, but with melodic and choral vocal lines — tempo and rhythm changes make the listener glue to the speakers until the last note of the album.
