Portland, Oregon
subsonic psychedelic doom duo TAURUS, featuring Stevie Floyd of Dark
Castle and Ashley Spungin, formerly of Purple Rhinestone Eagle, today announce
the release of their debut full-length entitled Life. Set for release on July 5, Life is one haunting, 35-minute movement
recorded live at A Studio With No Name by Dave French and mastered by James
Plotkin. Life will be released on LP
and CD formats
with an included poster, photographs and Floyd-crafted screen print on a
recycled chip board case. A special limited box will also be available with
further details to be released in the coming weeks.
Pre-orders will be available soon via the band’s official BandCamp.
In conjunction with the release, TAURUS will take their abstract, stirring and painfully beautiful hymns to the stage this Summer with AGALLOCH. The month-long journey will begin on July 11. See confirmed dates below.

About
TAURUS:
Their
view; it is cosmic. Not of a man here, a child there, but an abstraction. Not
honorable men, but of honor itself; the abstract is real, the actual is
invisible to them, It is their sense of space and time. They see through the
here, the now, into the vast black deep beyond, the unchanging. And that is
fatal to life. Because eventually there will be no life; there was once only
dust particles in space, the hot hydrogen gases, nothing more, and it will come
again. This is an interval. The cosmic process is hurrying on, crushing life
back into the granite and the methane; the wheel turns for all life. It is all
temporary, and these -- these madmen -- respond to the granite, the dust.
