Godzilla in the Kitchen Sign to Argonauta Records
Yes, it was the name that got my attention, but it was the song that held it. Based in Leipzig, Germany, the instrumentalist trio Godzilla in the Kitchen — which I feel like I can relate to on a number of levels, involving both my own sad, lumbering mass and the unrestrained destructive urgencies of the small child in my life — released their self-titled debut album in 2015, and it’s from the 2020 remaster of that record that the track “Dr. Moth” comes. They’ll have a new one out sometime, ever, maybe next year or late in 2022 given the vagueness on the issue from the PR wire below, but whatever. As Argonauta Records continues to branch outward from its foundation already in the varying spheres of heavy, Godzilla in the Kitchen bring to their roster more than just an evocative moniker.
You can hear that for yourself, so don’t let me keep you except perhaps to remind that the first record is seven years old and no doubt the theoretically-impending next one will be somewhat different. Time happens, etc. Still, if this is the general idea, I’ll be glad to find out what the years since 2015 have done for Godzilla in the Kitchen‘s sound.
Here’s the signing announcement:
Heavy Psych Rock Trio GODZILLA IN THE KITCHEN Signs With Argonauta Records!
Leipzig-based heavy psych and instrumental trance rock band GODZILLA IN THE KITCHEN has inked a record deal with Argonauta Records, home for acts such as Los Natas, Mitochondrial Sun by Niklas Sundin (formerly in Dark Tranquility), Mammoth Storm, High Fighter, Suma or Ancient Vvisdom to name just a few. Formed in 2011 in Jena, the German trio creates a vibrant mixture of melodical recognizability and rhythmic complexity. GODZILLA IN THE KITCHEN have released one full-length record to date, with a new album to follow in the hopefully not so distant future via the Italian powerhouse label.
“By a fan of Instrumental music I am, I have to warn you that Godzilla in the Kitchen are really something unique in the whole genre,“ Argonauta Records owner Gero Lucisano is convinced. “Trance inducing and Psych Rock in a very genuine way. Highly melodic and definitely with a lot of energy, the new album will set new standards for the underground movement!”
The band comments: “We are delighted to have signed our first record deal with such a prestigious and experienced label as Argonauta Records. Gero is an expert in the industry and an absolute specialist of the underground music scene. We are taking the next big step as a band and releasing our 2nd album together with him after our debut 7 years ago. We are really excited to present our new songs to you.“
