Hawkdope

Since the release of their debut album, Twilight In The Desert in 2007, Roma rockers Black Rainbows have become one of the most essential acts in Europe's heavy underground. As the spearhead of an entire movement of Italian bands, they have issued five full-lengths to-date and are on the precipice of their sixth in 2018, with founding guitarist/vocalist Gabriele Fiori and bassist Giuseppe Guglielmino welcoming new drummer Fillippo Ragazzoni to the fold for the first time. Across albums like 2010's Carmina Diablo (recently reissued), 2011's Supermotherfuzzalicious!! (HPS 010LP), 2015's Hawkdope, and 2016's Stellar Prophecy (HPS 037CD/LP/LTD-LP/RED-LP), Black Rainbows' sound has oozed between classic '90s-style stoner fuzz and deep-cosmos psychedelia, drawing on the best of hard-driving space rock to conjure a vibe totally tripped-out and all it's own. By bringing Ragazzoni on board, the riffs have gotten tighter and are fuzzed as ever. They've got a well-earned veteran status with countless tours, festival appearances - they have a track record of absolutely, unstoppable energy. Hawkdope is reissue here with new cover art; Limited edition green fluo color vinyl.
