NO WATER by Dhidalah

Dhidalah EP "NO WATER"

=Album Description=
The history of heavy psychedelic music has been always lead by trios, such as The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, Ash Ra Tempel, Sleep, Earthless, etc… In 2016, Japan has Dhidalah, a roaring psychedelic doom trio. The group’s name comes from the mythological giant Daidarabotchi, which was believed to create mountains and land with its enormous size, much like Dhidalah’s sound. Give yourself up to their cosmic jam, and feel yourself float around in space. Their sudden, crashing waves of sound will surely turn you to cosmic dust.

=Band Description=
Dhidalah started in 2007 as an instrumental heavy psych trio from Tokyo (Gotoh/Ba, Konstantine/Dr, Ikuma Kawabe/Gt). While Ikuma was playing as a guitarist for Church of Misery, the trio discovered a connection between music from different genres. Their sound reveals that connection, which is often described as space kraut rock meets heavy doom.
The group's music allows you to float high above the atmosphere as well as sink to the lowest depths of the ground.

Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, Ash Ra Tempel, そしてSleep, Earthless……ヘヴィ・サイケデリックの歴史を牽引してきたのは、いつだってトリオだった。2016年、ここ日本には爆走サイケデリック・ドゥーム・トリオ、Dhidalahがいる。かつて国や山を創造したといわれる日本の古の巨人、ダイダラボッチを連想させるグループ名だが、Dhidalahのサウンドはまさに規格外である。コズミック・ジャムに身を委ね、宇宙空間を漂流せよ。突如としてやってくる音塊の波状攻撃によって、我々は宇宙の塵と化すだろう。

Dhidalah is a Tokyo based psychedelic rock band formed in 2008 by bassist Kazu Gotoh. Guitarist Ikuma Kawabe (ex Church of Misery), joined in 2010, and recently the band welcomed the new drummer Ryo Fushimi.

Their music roots is on doom and stoner metal, but their input expands to krautrock, progressive rock and ambient music. In 2024, they will release their new album.
