SONS OF TONATIUH Release Debut Full-Length; Announce Upcoming Tour Dates
September 17, 2010, 14 years ago
Georgia sludge merchants SONS OF TONATIUH, featuring current and past members of LEECHMILK, FELL A VICTIM, NOBLE RUST and WHISKEY SHIT VOMIT, have unleashed their self-titled debut full-length via Michigan's Hyodrophonic Records.
Engineered by Jay Matheson (KYLESA, BLACK TUSK) at the legendary Jam Room Studio in Columbia, South Carolina, the crushing eight-track long player features the artwork of Rodney Githens and is available on CD as well as blue and gold-colored wax.
Conceived on April 25th, 2008 in a ditch by the side of a dirt road in Atlanta, the concept behind SOT relies heavily on recognizing where we as a human race came from, what it means to be immortal, and how important it is to understand the history of the native world.
In conjunction with the release of the full-length, the band - guitarist/vocalist Dan Caycedo, bassist Mike Tunno, guitarist/vocalist Darby Wilson and drummer Tim Genius - will kick off a string of live dates next week beginning with the Forward To The Apocalypse Fest on their home turf in Atlanta.
