Aluk Todolo + Traummaschine @ Coyote Ugly (Alicante)



El Lunes próximo en Alicante Traummaschine plantará un monolito tan grande y negro que no dejara escapar la luz!

Organizado por Gure Hitzak y localmente por Producciones Luser.


The genious and dark power trio known as ALUK TODOLO plans to tour in france spain, portugal and switzerland in the next month of may (12-24), they are known for create a unique mix of black metal vibes and dark atmospheres mixed with monolithic kraut rock patterns creating a really cathartic sound...
part black metal ocult fiend (just you can check their my space profile: http://www.myspace.com/aluktodolo) and part kraut rock snaut kraut menace.

ALUK TODOLO is a power trio formed in 2004 performs what they call "ocult rock", a methodical exploration of the powers of the musical trance. The band conjures rabid obsessive rhythms and abyssal disharmonic guitars, subliminal spiritualist vibrations and bizarre, magick summonings.

ALUK TODOLO reduces psychedelic improvisation to a bare, telluric instrumentation, in which dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass.The band’s sound is monolithic and stabbing, hypnotic but unpredictable, minimalist yet teeming: a dangerous, noxious coil of all things black. they have releasing their albums on the north american label public guilt (DALEK, ZU, o HABSYLL among others...). and they have toured in the U.S. supporting in New York the 70's kraut rock myth FAUST, and the band is supported by Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), KTL,...), Albin Julius (Der Blutharsch and the infinitive church of the leading hand), Guy Pinhas (The Obssessed)

Press reviews:


Aluk Todolo : Descension


“On Descension, the principal ideas behind Black Metal are unbalanced and virtually reinvented. The usual Burzumstyle guitar buzz crumples and implodes, the monolithic drumming becomes a grinding Krautrock churn, and the snarled vocals are ditched completely in favour of a treated tape loop. Ignoring the rigid stereotype that still taints the genre, Aluk Todolo walk a crooked creative path where composition and improvisation become rituals.» -The Wire

“For their playing unites Krautrock with Zeuhl via classic No Wave, and rocks mightily. This power trio’s timehonoured guitar/bass/drums line-up is outstandingly meditative and un-clichéd. Very Cleveland, very Can, very This Heat, very Magma, but very much its own original thing, and definitely another necessary part of the puzzle that leads us to the Rue d’Awakening.» - Julian Cope / Head Heritage

Aluk Todolo : first 7ep


«Holy fuck, this record is amazing! Ominous krautrock rhythms over Einsterzende style industrial clatter, some lost seventies psych rock holy grail channeled through modern post rock. Dreamy and dark and mesmerizing. Hypnotic
guitar lines and simple shuffling rhythms that build into clattery propulsive jams, all clanging angular riffs and dense tangled drumming. VERY This Heat like, and reminiscent of the late great Laddio Bolocko. Some sort of dangerous and mysterious postrock / krautrock hybrid, lo-fi but thick and dense and amazingly heavy.» -Aquarius Records

«…two raging strung-out dark untitled instrumentals come across like a Wodenist ‘Komakino’-period Joy Division.»
- Julian Cope / Head Heritage

«This is one of the best advances in rock rock rock to come along in years, and it’s in keeping with philosopher Anton LaVey’s advice to not offer advice until someone asks for it.» –Signal to Noise


«What they conjure up on their debut single is neither generic nor even easy to place inside known space/time
continuums.» –The Wire

«This is brilliant stuff, and the only flaw here is that there’s not anywhere near enough of it.» –Dead Angel


«If all of those proggy jam bands with occult themes from the ‘70’s were actually listenable and good, you would get
Aluk Todolo.» -The Ajna Offensive

Lunes 17 mayo
COYOTE UGLY (puerto de Alicante)
21:00 h 5 euros

Por vez primera visita el territorio peninsular una de las bandas que más está dando que hablar dentro de la psicodelia más oscura, telúrica y desquiciada. Algo así como un cruce entre NEU!, THIS HEAT y BURZUM...

ALUK TODOLO, grupo "ave raris" o por lo menos atipico y difícil de clasificar: patrones rítmicos hiper mimalistas, kraut rock, noise, sonido oscuro tenso e inquietante y sobre todo una estetica totalmente black metal…

Acaban de realizar una gira por los Estados Unidos abriendo para el mítico grupo de kraut rock de los 70's llamado FAUST en Nueva York, y entre sus seguidores declarados se encuentra gente como el señor Stephen o'Malley (SUNNO))), KTL,..) o miembros de FAUST o THE OBSSEDED...

TRAUMMASCHINE, quienes han tenido oportunidad de verlos en directo saben que son capaces de levantar un enorme monolito, tan negro que no deje escapar la luz, a base de Kraut, Noise e Impro Rock....

Han compartido escenario con "gentola" como los Faust, Nurse with Wound, Chris Cutler, Bëiruth, Alozeau, Heezen, Rastrejo.... y un largo capazo mas....

Si se te pasa, te lo pierdes....
