I promise you I’m not just posting this track because of its title. But the title certainly doesn’t hurt. Athenian heavy rockers Half Gramme of Soma will release their second album, Groove is Black, in May through Fuzz Ink Records, and ahead of making it available for preorder — presumably that’s coming soon, since “May” is going to hit any minute now — they’re streaming the opening cut… “Gloomy Eggplant.”

Yes, friends. “Gloomy Eggplant.”

If you’re the type to keep a list of the best song titles of the year, and if “Gloomy Eggplant” doesn’t make that list — shame on you.

But again, I’m not just posting the track — which you can hear at the bottom of this post courtesy of Half Gramme of Soma‘s Bandcamp — because of the title. It’s a righteous heavy build over the course of six minutes and the bodes well for the rest of the album to come. I haven’t heard the full release yet, but heavy grooves abound here and that’s never a bad place to start.

Half Gramme Of Soma – Groove Is Black ‘New Album’

Fuzz Ink Records proudly presents Half Gramme Of Soma’s – Groove Is Black second album release.

After the second sun abruptly forced its mass in, the now binary star thrust into a violent spiral orbit towards its imminent destruction. Captive to constant daylight and under the heat of 349PW, the gigantic entities were left stranded on the deserted planet that, due to gravitational distortions, awkwardly resembled familiar vegetables. Moments before reaching their kindling point, they swallowed their last drop; their bodies burst into flames and their psyche into the black.

Half Gramme of Soma is a 5-piece Rock band formed in early 2011, based in Athens, Greece. Blending heavy rock sounds with a wide range of influences, HGoS were introduced to the Greek music scenery by their strong live appearances. In early 2013 they put out their s/t debut album which was followed by the “Marche au Noir” Ep in late 2014. Since the start of 2015 Half Gramme of Soma consist of new members from the wider Smoking Community, housed in the 13th floor of an infamous Piraeus’ appartment block. In May 2017, the second full-length studio album, and first with the current lineup, Groove is Black?, is going to land on earth and rock our rocky home with some otherworldly vibes.

Release date May 2017 on cd and vinyl via fuzz ink records!!! pre-orders soon!
