True to their name, this powerful trio performs a headstrong, burly metal with roots deep in the impenetrable mire of the stoner/doom/sludge tradition nuansed with streaks of progressive rock and psychedelica. A wide blend of influences are entwined and results in an accomplished and coherent music that is as direct and powerful as it is multi layered and meandering. Names that are commonly mentioned in relation to Colossus are Mastodon, Neurosis, Kyuss and Tool to name a few.
The band have been honing their skills since the well received EP "Spiritual Myiasis" and in spring 2012 Colossus entered Top Floor Studios in Gothenburg together with Jakob Herrmann and came out with a heavy and organic full length debut that not only outshines the EP on every topic but aims for a whole other level of musical composition and soundscape. The album was mixed by Pontus Norgren and is guested by Lars G Petrov of Entombed on vocals and drummer extraordinaire Morgan Ågren of Mats/Morgan Band, Frank Zappa, Fredrik Thordendal and many more.
The single Pillars of Perennity feat. Lars G Petrov was released as a foretaste for the full length Wake to be released on April 20th. Currently the band is sharpening their tools to prepare for an intensive and gig-heavy 2013, already in mid May the band will tour Europe as support act for The Resistance.
