Onioroshi European Tour Starts This Week
If you caught Onioroshi‘s second LP, Shrine (review here), when it came out last year on Bitume Productions, the two subsequent singles “Eris” and “Wicked Child” — they made videos for both; they’re at the bottom of the post — may be something of a surprise for their departure from longer-form instrumentalist composition. Both “Eris” and “Wicked Child” are shorter and more straightforward in their structure, with both maintaining a strong current of ambience but digging into a heavier fluidity to offset that and carry across a sense of emotionality as well.
I don’t know that these songs are a one-off (or two-off, as it were) or indicative of a wholesale direction turn or what, but part of living in linear time is an uncertain future, so I guess we’ll find out when we get there. In the interim, this week the Italian trio start a round of European touring that will take them through France, Switzerland, Serbia, Hungary, Austria and Croatia for much of the rest of this month. Couple songs, couple bigger jams onstage? I don’t know how it’ll all work, but at least it’s not such a cruel wait to find out. If you go to a show, get video.

ONIOROSHI – March European Tour
Onioroshi is a Heavy Psych band from Italy active since 2019. Following the debut of their 2nd LP Shrine (2025, Bitume Productions), the band played some shows in Italy and then started working on a European tour for 2026. At the same time they began working on new music: two new singles named “Wicked Child” and “Eris”, both 5 minutes long, mark the first time the band has released compositions shorter than ten minutes, with a new drive towards a more leaned and flowing style, which doesn’t drop the distinctive noise-driven research of the band. The new songs were released on February the 25th with two videos shot by Jacopo Gioacchini, with Rebecca Piraccini featuring as actress and dancer.
The band is touring Europe between 12 and 27 March 2026, visiting southern France (in Peyrelevade and Uzerche), Geneva (CH), Subotica (SRB), Budapest (HU), Bratislava (SK), Vienna (AT) and Osijek (CR) for a total of ten shows, and sharing the stage with plenty of independent and local bands.
