ALUK TODOLO are a recondite creature. Part okkult black metal fiend and part snide kraut menace. Somehow the doppelganger works, and Finsternis proves for a second time there is brilliance in the absence of light for this prolific French unit.
Dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass. Finsternis is the German word for eclipse, mimetic of cyclic elements, phases and unphases, endless rebeginnings, broken circles and perfect circles. A dangerous, noxious coil of all things black. ALUK TODOLO has previously released a s/t 7" (2006, Implied Sound) and Descension (2007, CD on Public Guilt, LP on Riot Season). Finsternis was originally released on CD in 2009 as part of Utech Records URSK series which featured the artwork of Stephen Kasner (Sunn, Integrity, Khlyst, etc.). Other artists featured in the series included Skullflower, Runhild Gammelsæter, Final, and The Stargazer's Assistant.
ALUK TODOLO was featured at 2009's WFMU Fest in Brooklyn, NY alongside Faust, Cold Cave, Pissed Jeans, and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. The band was also featured at the Impakt Festival (Netherlands) and Outfest (Portugal) and has shared the stage with Malkuth, White Hills, The Psychic Paramount, Träd Gräs Och Stenar, Psychic Ills, Silvester Anfang, Chris Corsano, Monno, and Habsyll.
Finsternis re-rears its ugly head via 180 gram LP this May 18th, 2010 on Public Guilt.
