Grusom Sign to Kozmik Artifactz; Debut LP Due in July
Danish six-piece outfit Grusom released their three-song demo last October, and by November, they were in talks with Kozmik Artifactz, who it has been announced will be handling the release of the band’s forthcoming full-length debut this July. The band’s blues-rocking style, marked out by dual guitars, standalone vocals and keys, is fitting in the progression past pure retroism that seems to be emerging throughout Europe, heavy ’70s influences being put in a more modern context, but one will still recognize some hallmarks in the single “The Journey,” for which Grusom have just released a new video.
A brooding sense of regret pervades the song — it’s not by any means upbeat or a brash, boozy single — but the pickup in the second half demonstrates the kind of flow Grusom have on offer and bodes well for what might come with the first album. The announcement came via the PR wire:
Denmark’s finest GRUSOM are signing with Kozmik Artifactz
Debut album release summer 2015
Just one month after releasing their demo on Bandcamp, Grusom signed with the German record label “Kozmik Artifactz.” Jacob Bredahl from Dead Rat Studio did the recording of their debut album. Grusom wanted to keep the feel of the actual recording as true and authentic as possible. Jacob caught Grusom’s sound and soul by recording all music in one room at the same time. Grusom’s debut album is expected to hit the street and shelves sometime during July 2015 (vinyl, cd and digital).
The first single from the album called “The Journey” is to be released the 16th. of March 2015. “The Journey” was partially written and arranged while recording in Dead Rat Studio. “The Journey” can be found digital on iTunes and several other online platforms including Grusom’s official bandcamp site.
The musicvideo was shot by Grusom’s personal photographer Andreas Bastiansen – you can watch it here:
