Monsternaut December European Tour Dates Announced

Finnish three-piece Monsternaut released their self-titled full-length last month through Italy’s Heavy Psych Sounds and before 2016 ends, they’ll sneak in a European tour to support it. Starting on Dec. 1, they chart what looks to be a winding course through Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain (though I’ve no doubt the routing actually makes sense when you see it on a map) and will get out to bring their classic ’90s-style fuzz to the masses. No word yet on who their company might be, if they’re on their own and meeting up with locals or taking someone with them, but Monsternaut hone a rare kind of straightforward rock coming from the north — of course Finland is known for death-doom and styles like that, but even among its rock bands there are few with a take as loyalist as Monsternaut‘s — so I’d think they’d be met with welcome, particularly in Germany and Spain, where stonerism seems to flourish continuously.

In any case, hell of a way to lead into the holidays. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous.

Boasting a sound born out of heavy Fu Manchu influence, with a tonal touch of Queens of the Stone Age bounce and desert-bred groove. The trio of vocalist/guitarist Tuomas Heiskanen, bassist Perttu Härkönen and drummer Jani Kuusela thicken up nodding, momentum-rich riffs and offer a return to ’90s stoner heavy purity without sounding retro or like they’re 20 years behind the times — at least not any more than they want to be. The songs on their two offerings to-date offer catchy, The Action is Go-style stomp, where a slower lurch that maximizes the groove at play.

Monsternaut is:
Tuomas Heiskanen Vocals/Guitar
Perttu Härkönen Bass
