SONS OF TONATIUH Announces Another Bout Of Roadside Debauchery

Atlanta sludgeniks SONS OF TONATIUH are preparing for another bout of roadside debauchery. Set to begin September 20 in Asheville, North Carolina, the band will rupture the infrastructures of a nine venues, coming to a close on September 28 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

SONS OF TONATIUH:

9/20/2013 The Odditorium - Asheville, NC w/ Nuclear Blast Suntan

9/21/2013 The Haymarket Whiskey Bar - Louisville, KY w/ Ohlm

9/22/2013 CBGB - St Louis, MO

9/23/2013 The Empty Bottle - Chicago, IL w/ Swan King

9/24/2013 Mulligan's - Grand Rapids, MI w/ BurT

9/25/2013 The Tree Bar - Columbus, OH w/ BurT

9/26/2013 The Chameleon - Cincinnati, OH

9/27/2013 Al's Sidecar - Lexington, KY w/ Ohlm

SONS OF TONATIUH -- guitarist/vocalist Dan Caycedo, bassist Twitch and drummer Josh Lomanto - will be touring in support of their current full-length Parade Of Sorrow issued via Hydro-Phonic Records last Summer. Compared to "sinking in quicksand" by Exclaim! and commended for its "joinder of galloping thrash and arching doom, bruising hardcore and crackling guitar solos," by Independent Weekly, the Kyle Spence (Harvey Milk) produced, filth-laden, riff fest continues to raise the eyebrows of unsuspecting ears. Describes Hellride Music, "SOT meld the visceral, unrefined DIY sounds of sludge, punk and hardcore into 10 tracks and 37 minutes blues for the disenfranchised. SOT songs boomerang from the most atherosclerotic sludge to sick crossover breakdowns and Ginn-esqie punk rock. Dan's screams, hollers and caterwauls about the usual - the archons and their tools... religion, politics, unchecked consumerism and war... in relation to our hopeless and hapless lives. The plight and symbolism of the Native American people is used enough on Parade of Sorrow to make it more than a footnote." Adds Creative Loafing, "Each number builds around screaming vocal harmonies, unexpected melodies, and monstrous guitar solos. But the real power lies in the uncomplicated design of it all. Although the album's smoldering grind won't find much of an audience beyond underground metal ears, SONS OF TONATIUH actually breaks new ground here, while staying true to the group's clawing roots."

SONS OF TONATIUH: New Video Brought To You By Metal Injection

SONS OF TONATIUH bring their slow-roasted sludge sorcery to the screen today via Metal Injection with a video for “Parade Of Sorrow,” the title track to their current full-length, out now through Hydro-Phonic Records. The production was created by Philip Flock in October of 2012 and depicts a world gone critically wrong. Comments the band in a collective statement: "With forgotten souls of the past and the indifference of the future, we continue to inch our way into a void of emptiness and self contempt for humankind. This video is a reflection of that worthlessness we have worked so hard to achieve as a society."

Point your browser to THIS LOCATION to check it out.

SONS OF TONATIUH released the riff procession that is Parade Of Sorrow this Summer. Recorded in Athens, Georgia by Kyle Spence of Harvey Milk, Parade Of Sorrow continues to harvest critical hails from fans and critics nationally. Skulls N Bones commends the record for having “a heaviness of its own,” Exclaim likens the songs to “sinking in quicksand, but they evoke panicked thrashing rather than resigned, churning misery,” Broken Beard notes that Parade Of Sorrow “is every bit the Eyehategod worship as their self-titled debut, and yet they’ve squeezed this throbbing new pustule so hard there is pus and blood bursting out all over the place,” while The Sludgelord crowns Parade Of Sorrow “another stellar record from another fantastic band.” Metal Maniacs calls the album “infectious — plain and simple,” Sea Of Tranquility agrees, comparing the output to “…a head-on-collision between early Black Sabbath and Eyehategod,” Axes To Grind opines, “the great thing about this offering is the vast expansion of sound that it encompasses, “Mouth for War  proclaims Parade of Sorrow “doomy, swampy and frenetic at times…It’s an album that gets under you skin and worms it’s way into you skull. You can’t get rid of it or it’s southern sludge vibe,”and This Is Not A Scene dubs it “…a savagely aggressive, sonically belligerent album that is among the rawest to emerge from the southern USA in the last decade…”

SONS OF TONATIUH: Band Unleashes New Video + Spring Tour Dates Announced

Atlanta-based sludge collective, SONS OF TONATIUH, recently unleashed a video for "Consumed," the third track off their self-titled debut full-length. The video was produced by Apocalypse Productions on their home turf. To check out the merciless crush that ultimately defines this band, shift your peepers on over HERE.

Commented drummer Tim Genius: "Do yourself a favor: When making a video, don’t choose the longest possible song you might have.... unless you plan to test your audience’s attention span. That said, we are pleased to announce that our new video for 'Consumed' turned out rather awesome. It’s minimalistic and we like it that way. At the very least, it’s now more clear that aSONS OF TONATIUH show does not involve little children and traditional Mexican folk-dance -- not always, anyway. Mission accomplished!"

In related news, the band is set to embark on a stretch of spring and summer shows. Confirmed dates thus far include:

5/13/2011 Drunken Unicorn - Atlanta, GA w/ Primate, Javelina

5/27/2011 Memphis Hates You Fest @ Hi Tone - Memphis, TN 

5/28/2011 Jackson, MS.... TBA

6/02/2011 529 - Atlanta, GA w/ Black Skies, Royal Thunder

6/24/2011 Little Hamilton - Nashville, TN w/ Across Tundras

6/25/2011 Gutfest - Jackson, TN 

The band is also working on new tunes for their as-yet-untitled, sure to be pulverizing next full-length which is tentatively slated to be recorded in Athens, Georgia courtesy of Harvey Milk’s resident drum bludgeoner/knob tweaker, Kyle Spence. 

Said Genius: "It’s sure to be our best yet! Rest assured that while Kyle is conjuring the ghost of John Bonham, we will be bringing our best Keith Moon to the fine folks of Athens."

More info to be announced in the coming weeks... stay tuned.

SONS OF TONATIUH: Tour Diary Posted On Decibel Magazine's Deciblog

Atlanta sludge merchants, SONS OF TONATIUH, recently wrapped up a U.S. tour in support of their self-titled debut full-length. The band ravaged their way through nearly two weeks of dates and kept a log of all the torrid events along the way. Check out the band's play-by-play (with accompanying photos) at Decibel Magazine's Deciblog HERE.

The band -- drummer Tim Genius, guitarist/vocalist Dan Caycedo, bassist Mike Tunno and guitarist/vocalist Darby Wilson -- released their debut via Michigan's Hyodro-Phonic Records earlier this year. Engineered by Jay Matheson (Kylesa, Black Tusk, Dark Castle) at the legendary Jam Room Studios in Columbia, South Carolina, the devouring eight-track long player features the artwork of Rodney Githens and is available on CD as well as blue and gold-colored wax.

"There are times on this record where it is like the aural equivalent of a snuff movie, uncomfortable and edgy ensuring you are unable to look away... add in the balls out confidence contained in their Southern swagger, this may not be the most original release you'll ever hear, but it is one that will draw you back to it again and again and one that will grow on you with every listen." -- The Sleeping Shaman

"...whether you’re a grizzled sludge scholar or a brooding devotee of the doom, this album is a gloriously grubby combination of the two and it’s well worth a place in your collection." -- One Metal

"Hailing from the sticky sweet region of Atlanta comes the lumbering, guitar-heavy metal of Sons of Tonatiuh. And while we'll dispense with the quick lesson on Aztec deities or the nuances and complexities of the Nahuatl language, just know that this is good, brutal metal the way the Sun gods intended it to be." -- Miami New Times

SONS OF TONATIUH: Atlanta Sludge Merchants to Embark On Fourth U.S. Tour This January

Atlanta sludge merchants, SONS OF TONATIUH are about to embark upon a fourth U.S. tour this January  in support of their self-titled debut full-length. The mighty Hollow Leg from Jacksonville, Florida will be joining the band for the first three shows . After that, the band will be tearing its way across through New Orleans and back around through Shreveport before winding down in Chattanooga, Tennessee with the likes of  Hot Graves, Death Before Dying, Car On Fire, Cognitive Dissonance, Currents and Black Pussy among others. "We'll try and keep the church burning down to a minimum as we continually raise the dead of our ancestors through our witchcraft," said the band in a collective statement. "So come out see what we're all about and we'll promise to deliver a good time."

SONS OF TONATIUH were recently privileged enough to open for the legendary Eyehategod at the Earl on December 4 in Atlanta. The show went off without a hitch and SONS played a stellar set in front of a massive audience.

The band -- drummer Tim Genius, guitarist/vocalist Dan Caycedo, bassist Mike Tunno and guitarist/vocalist Darby Wilson -- unleashed their debut via Michigan's Hyodro-Phonic Records earlier this year. Engineered by Jay Matheson (Kylesa, Black Tusk, Dark Castle) at the legendary Jam Room Studios in Columbia, South Carolina. The crushing eight-track long player features the artwork of Rodney Githens and is available on CD as well as blue and gold-colored wax. Hellride called the record, "...a damn anvil being dropped on your head type of heavy," Brooklyn Vegan agreed crowning it, "a merciless onslaught of down-tuned misanthropic riffs," and Fuzzrock added: "A killer album of sludgy goodness, this comes recommended for those who dig Eyehategod, Iron Monkey, Sourvein, and their ilk, but are burnt out on copy cat bands. These guys bring something different to the table with each song, and for that, I commend them."

SONS OF TONATIUH Tour Wrap-Up

Band To Join Eyehategod + Phobia In Atlanta This December.

Having returned home safely from their Midwestern mini-tour, Atlanta sludge demons SONS OF TONATIUH are stoked to announce the next bout of live happenings to round out 2010 (and usher in 2011). Elaborated drummer Tim Genius: "We'd first like to report that the tour was a resounding success. Thank you in no small part to the hospitality of our label boss at Hydrophonic, the rad bands we shared bills with and the swell folks we met along the way. A special thanks is due to our driver and road-man extraordinaire, Greg who delivered us safe, if not sound. We wish the same could be said for a certain feline representative of Grand Rapids who had a bit of a run-in with our van. That part was a bummer.

So we’re back in Atlanta, and after a couple of days, we've got the inevitable 'ants-in-our-pants' associated with a post-super fun road trip. What did we do? The only thing we know to do. We booked a tour. That’s right, come January 6 SONS OF TONATIUH will be heading out for a ten-day stretch from Florida to Texas and back. And what will we do with ourselves until then? Well, how about a particular hometown gig with fellow southern teetotalers, Eyehategod? And if that wasn’t enough, what if we told you that our pals and recent touring accomplices Phobia would be there too? That’s right. Sludge legends, Eyehategod AND grind pioneers, Phobia with SONS OF TONATIUH at The Earl in Atlanta, December 4, 2010!

That's all for now. But do yourselves a favor. Let’s see you there! Or just do it for the Mr. Wiggles."

"These Atlanta dudes have unleashed some heavy fucking doom crust on the world...Brutal." -- Maximum Rock N' Roll

"I would not want to be reincarnated as a drum head for this band." -- Razorcake

"More crusty-punk than crusty-sludge, Atlanta's Sons Of Tonatiuh (pronounced "Tahn-a-tee-ah") ... these Sons play it straightforward and vicious. For fans of Sourvein, Iron Monkey, Eyehategod, and Weedeater." -- StonerRock.com

"With brutal efficiency, former Leechmilk singer/guitarist Dan Caycedo rekindles the primordial dirge that defined the crusty edges of Atlanta metal in the late '90s. Sons of Tonatiuh's self-titled LP buzzes like a plague of locusts swarming for the attack, but the record's sludgy aesthetics dive headlong with a sense of clutter-free doom." -- Creative Loafing
