Rome-based riffy four-piece Beesus release their debut album, The Rise of Beesus, this week via New Sonic Records and Goodfellas Distribuzione. It’s streaming in full now below via their Bandcamp, where preorders can also be placed for those inclined to get down with their meticulous natures. The band will take to the streets on Jan. 7 to support the record on a three-and-a-half-week run that includes gigs with DieselOkkult and Denizen and seems like an ambitious start for a group getting behind their first record until one remembers that it’s Europe and there’s even a modest chance they might get paid to play those shows. Amazing, right? We should all move there.

Or maybe just me. Maybe I should move to Europe. Like yesterday. Ha.

Take it away, actual information:

BEESUS was formed in 2010 in Roma by five young men whose minds were filled with dreams, psychotropic substances, as well as sonic material like The Jesus Lizard, The Doors, Alice In Chains, Electric Wizard… More than just being a group of friends playing music, they had musical ideas, words to declare and a vision to share. Quickly turning into a four-piece, they released their first demo in 2011, played a few gigs along with heavy psych acts such as Myroors, Mars Red Sky, 1000Mods, Morkobot, then eventually went into a hiatus until the year 2015.

Their debut album entitled “The Rise Of Beesus” was recorded live and encapsulates within nine songs what this one of a kind outfit is all about: blending the noisy crunchy flavor of 90’s heaviest alt-metal outfits like The Melvins or Mudhoney up to date, while coating it with a thick hazy thundercloud of fuzzed-out riffs.

Beesus, The Rise of Beesus (2015)

I’m a little bit sad to report, but “Stonerslam” is not, in fact, the latest pay-per-view special for professional wrestling. While that would invariably be the laziest bout of physical prowess ever within the realm of sports entertainment, “Stonerslam” is instead the new single and video from Rome-based heavy rockers Beesus, who will release their debut album, The Rise of Beesus, on Dec. 17 through Goodfellas Distribuzione and New Sonic Records. The song itself is quick, not much over three minutes, but it’s enough time for the band to give some idea of where they’re coming from sound-wise.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the stonerly arts play a significant role in their aesthetic. “Stonerslam” bounces on thick riffing and effects-laden vocals, but ultimately has a sans-frills punkishness underneath. The sheer fact that the track is so structurally barebones speaks to it. I keep waiting for them to break into a spaced-out jam or something like that — and they might at some point on The Rise of Beesus, I haven’t heard the record yet — but instead, they plow through a couple verses and cut out. What they do with that stripped-down edge over the course of the LP remains to be seen, but as a quick sample of their wares, they’ve chosen their video track well.

In the video we see Beesus recording, hanging out around somebody’s very nice looking pool, goofing off, and of course, playing live. If the clip is your introduction to them as it has been mine, you’ll find them reveling in some familiar sonic terrain but with no shortage of charm.

They’re on tour in Europe to lead off the New Year. Dates and more background follow the video below. Enjoy:

Beesus, “Stonerslam” official video

Noisy fuzz metal quartet BEESUS releases new video for “Stonerslam”; on tour across Europe this winter.

In anticipation of the album release next month, Italian super fuzz-laden rock quartet BEESUS is unveiling a first excerpt today with their first video “Stonerslam”. Their juggernaut debut “The Rise Of Beesus” will see the day this December 17th on Goodfellas and New Sonic Records.

The “Stonerslam” video features outtakes of the band’s summer recording sessions at World Recording Studio in Roma.
