Galvano Get Ethereal in New Video…

Posted in Bootleg Theater on July 3rd, 2013 by JJ Koczan

…Well, sort of. Mostly they get black and white. And heavy. And uplit. Whatever it takes, I guess.

Might seem obvious upon hearing their 2012 Two Titans album (streaming in full under the PR wire info), but Galvano dig pretty hard into Black Cobra-style heavy rock extremity, keeping a touch more to the stoner side, but still pushing the volume and tempo as high as they’re willing to go. The band released Two Titans on Devouter Records out of the UK and their new video from that album is for the track “Ethereal Sword,” which you can check out below, followed by more album info off the PR wire:

Galvano, “Ethereal Sword” official video

Galvano hail from Gothenburg, Sweden and comprises of duo Fredrik and Mattias. Formed in 2005, the band had one direction and one aim, to create something heavy. But it wasn’t until 2007 that the band let the outside world hear what they were creating when they released their first demo and started to play shows. The following years saw more touring across Europe playing alongside bands such as Black Breath and Alaskan.

The bands only other previous release came in 2010 in the form of a split 10” with German band Kasan. The band recorded the epic single ‘The Librarian’ which was mixed and mastered by the legendary Billy Anderson and released on SM Musik.

Two Titans sees the duo deliver sludgy powerful riffs and intense drumming combined with slowed down dark passages. They enable you to go through a full spectrum of emotions then back again. Mattius (singer/guitarist) says:

“All these songs are personal, all the way throughout the record. They are about personal matters and demons. It’s about finding the darkest corners, the dark lord within and to show up for battle. Portrayed as two titans in constant battle: Good/Evil, Darkness/Light and so on. And sometimes wanting to embrace either side. It’s about knowing when your mind is pulling tricks and being able to stop it. It’s also celebrating our musical force as a duo.”

Galvano will be hitting towns and cities across Europe over the coming months.

Galvano Release Two Titans; Album Streaming Now

Posted in Whathaveyou on November 13th, 2012 by JJ Koczan

Formerly a trio, the Gothenburg-based guitar/drums twosome Galvano have released their first full-length, ambitiously dubbed Two Titans. The album is out on Devouter Records, and it melds sludge immediacy with post-metallic ambience and caustic tones. The loud parts the loud, the quiet parts are quiet, and every now and then, it seems like someone just punched guitarist/vocalist Mattias Nööjd in the stomach. In a good way.

The band — Nööjd plus drummer Fredrik Käll — have made the whole of Two Titans available to stream, and you’ll find it following the album info below, which came, as ever, down the PR wire:
