Samsation Self-Titled Debut EP Available to Preorder; Video Posted
You never heard this band before? Awesome! Me neither. And it turns out they don’t really have anything released yet, so we’re not even behind the times. Samsation‘s self-titled debut EP will be out Nov. 17 arrives with the backing of Rocket Panda Management, which also runs the StonerKras Fest in Trieste, Italy, that I’ve been posting about the last couple years. Samsation list Trieste as their hometown, but the bio says they’re from Divača over the border in Slovenia, but either way, they’re from somewhere and they’re introducing their EP with the delightfully whacked-out video for “Black Cat,” which features paper masks, earliest Deep Purple vibes, and feline-themed shenanigans a-plenty, up to and including clawing at each other and apparently sharing a mouse at the finish.
The PR wire brings background — a family band is always fun — and the inevitable Bandcamp preorder link. It’s a little more over-the-top than I was expecting from the description mentioning prog and all that, but I’m not about to complain when the song is cool and the band are so obviously having a good time. Haven’t heard the rest of the EP yet, so just the sample of the clip thus far. By all means, embrace something new today.
Here you go:

SAYS THE BAND
“One moment a ruthless killer, in another a playful little ball of fur, Black Cat is an attempt to put this contrast into music. It combines a fat and heavy groove with a funky and playful segment. Black Cat is the lead single of Samsation’s self-titled EP, accompanied by a video spot of a light mischievous nature, but located in a dark and thrilling setting.”
ALBUM DESCRIPTION
Samsation’s self-titled EP is the first studio production of the band. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at Track Terminal Studios by sound engineer Alessandro Perosa. The EP is composed of varying motifs that range from ballads and acid grooves to heavier blues with psychedelic riffs. Overall, it shows the band’s influences from the Woodstock era.
Powered by Rocket Panda Management.

BIOGRAPHY
Samsation was formed near Divača, Slovenia in 2020 by the three Samsa brothers Leo (lead vocals/keyboards), Rok (guitar/backing vocals), Bor (drums) and immediately joined by their cousin Saša Cej on the bass guitar. All the members share a deep love for the rock music of the late ’60s and early ’70s. This common passion inspired them to create their original repertoire of psychedelic rock songs.
After several venue and festival shows in Italy and Slovenia (the band played StonerKras Fest 2022) is now time for the self-titled debut EP powered by Rocket Panda Management.
SAMSATION is:
Leo Samsa – lead vocals/keyboards
Rok Samsa – guitar/backing vocals
Bor Samsa – drums
Saša Cej – bass
