Electric Taurus to Release Riders in May
Dublin bruisers Electric Taurus have set a May release date for their upcoming album, Riders. It’s their second full-length behind 2012’s debut, Veneralia, and follows a split with Prehistoric Pigs and last year’s live outing, Live at the Siege of Limerick, recorded at Earrach 2015 in, you guessed it, Limerick, Ireland, where they shared the stage with Solstice, Alunah, The Wounded Kings, War Iron and a host of others in varying pockets of extremity. You’ll find Electric Taurus‘ niche is booze when it comes to extremes, but their brash rock comes across well on that live offering, which you can hear below as hoisted from their Bandcamp.
The Riders title-track and “Vessel of the Damned” also appeared in that set, so you get a little preview of the record as well. Have at it:
Our new album “Riders” will be out in May in digipak format. Pre-order coming soon.

Electric Taurus formed in 2010 as a recording project by Matt. After numerous lineup changes, the final lineup was completed with James Lynch and Mauro Frison.
In May 2012, Electric Taurus was offered a record deal for their first album by Italian indie label Moonlight Records. The album Veneralia was recorded in July and will be released mid-October. Since then, a split has been released with Italian instrumentalists Prehistoric Pigs through Go Down records.
The band is heavily influenced by both the giants of the 60s and 70s (Black Sabbath, Hendrix, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Deep Purple) and the underground bands of the same era (Buffalo, Leaf Hound, Iron Claw, Primevil, Hard Stuff, Captain Beyond).
All this retro fuzz music is then blended with the 90s Monster Magnet, Sleep, Soundgarden, Kyuss, Electric Wizard and Orange Goblin.
James Lynch – Bass
Matt Casciani – Guitar & Vocals
Mauro Frison – Drums
