Hepatagua Announce East Coast Tour; Premiere New Track “Ganesha”

hepatagua

If you want to give people a taste of what you’re going for with your debut EP, a 10-minute track will probably get the job done. Thus Boston-based duo Hepatagua unveil the sprawling “Ganesha,” the closing cut from their upcoming Worms release, which is out this Friday and which they’ll carry with them on their upcoming East Coast tour, all serving as a precursor to their first full-length, The Lost Art of Dropping Dead, due out later this year. Got all that? It’s a lot, I know.

The take-away is that Hepatagua, the two-piece of guitarist/vocalist Aaron Gray and drummer Nate Linehan, are getting ready to unveil their first offering, Worms, by taking it down and back up the Eastern Seaboard for shows in Philly, Brooklyn, Connecticut, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Alabama, etc. A release tour is a pretty bold move for a band like Hepatagua, but a listen to the EP finds their sound working likewise, either reveling in noisy aggro crush, as on its title-track, melding post-metallic progressive churn and soaring melodies on “No Rights” or moving from the initially frantic opening stretch of “Ganesha” to the patient, semi-psychedelic wandering that follows and rounds out with Gray‘s guitar offering full-on hypnotic drone at the finish.

You can hear “Ganesha” via the player below, following the tour info and some more background on Worms and the impending The Lost Art of Dropping Dead.

It all goes like this:

Hepatagua was once described as a two headed giant fighting another giant with the limbs of a third giant. It came to life in 2013, when BFF’s Nate Linehan (of AxCx/Fistula fame) and Aaron Gray (owner of Grayskull Booking) came to realize that they loved The Melvins, Nirvana, High on Fire, Failure, and formed a two piece dedicated to the riff and the exploration of playing whatever genre they feel like as long as it’s heavy as fvck. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Weedeater, King Parrot, Jucifer, Lo-Pan, and more and their debut EP, Worms, is just a taste of their upcoming LP titled “The Lost Art of Dropping Dead.”
