To give you an idea of what to expect from this kickass album you can already have a listen to their first EP here :

But also let me tell you what I think about it First I chose to release Augustine Azul debut album because they crafted a music you really never heard before. They have that little something only good bands have : a unique, and at the same time, instantly recognizable sound.

Then of course it’s not only interesting to have a unique sound, because that sound could be shitty too But let me be clear, it’s totally the contrary, it’s face-melting. With influences ranging from Radio Moscow, Earthless, The Atomic Bitchwax or even Captain Beyond, you’ll be submerged by songs with this complex proggish side while at the same time retaining that fuzzy heaviness we love so much. The flow of those 6 songs is just perfect, because yeah don’t expect to have endless jam songs, most of them are in the 4-5 minutes range, making them full of energy (even if you’ll also be able to hear some short parts higher on the Purple Haze Level) and never boring.

I should also note that each of these skilled musicians completely fills his role, the term “power trio” fits perfectly for Augustine Azul. First there is the rhythmic section with Edgard on drums who knows how to be a real beast but also show he has a lot of skill playing complex jazz influenced fills & rhythms. He is then accompanied by Jonathan on bass who has the grooviest bass lines I heard in a while , also his sound is purely insane. And last but not least, João on guitar, a genius who knows how to create riffs & melodies so catchy those songs will get stuck into your in head ! A true lead guitarist who will certainly amaze you…

So yeah, I hope this gave you a little taste of what these guys are about. Now you’ll have to wait before the release date (August 16th) to listen to Lombramorfose, or maybe before, who knows (hint : You can signup below to receive updates on the release)
