New Tangaroa track uploaded!!
Tangaroa are coming, and their fucking up your head!
The congregation of extreme bands formed each year, all hoping to catch the attention of the discerning metalhead, are more often than not ignored in a sea of cliché riffs and tired arrangements. But every now and again, a band stands out amongst the masses. One that turns heads and garners nods of approval.
That band is Tangaroa.
Formed in 1998 in the north of England, they tore their way through several EP releases and it is the time for them to unleash their bastardized form of prog-grind-jazz-metal in the guise of a full length release; One hand for the knife, One hand for the throat.
Coming to you on 09/09/08 'One Hand For The Knife, One Hand For The Throat' takes everything done before, puts it in the barrel of a gun, and blows your face off! The track 'D'ya Hear That Wolf' is now available here with the only description being.. indescribable! One has to listen to this aural madness to at least attempt to define it, let alone understand it. With virtuosity well on display throughout Tangaroa truly match their 'progressive' tag, rather than some to who a few flashy guitar runs is enough.
Tangaroas previous 'creations' have been well received with Kerrang awarding 'Day' a 4/5 review describing the release as a 'Warped musical head-fuck' and 'Unlike anything you've heard before' and this tradition is brought forward to 'One Hand For The Knife, One Hand For The Throat. '
Tangaroa's myspace page (found here) contains the aforementioned new track, as well as artwork preview for 'One Hand For The Knife, One Hand For The Throat'.
Make sure you experience the new tune!

!!!Tangaroa new full length album!!!
!!! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE !!!
TANGAROA ALBUM RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED!!
Finally...the wait is nearly over! If you were crying over how deliciously short "Day" was, then Tangaroa's first full length album, mastered by WellerHill Productions, "One Hand for the Knife, One Hand for the Throat" will be released through Anticulture Records on September 8th 2008! It will blow your mind! A progressive colossus of a record, it's uncompromising demeanor is beautiful in its construct and trust us, the term crushingly heavy doesn't even come close! Here's what guitarist Baldi had to say!
"When you finally get your hands on this album it will be dripping with blood sweat and tears! We could have given up so many times but the simple fact that we are so proud of what we have achieved on this album kept us going. Tangaroa, bouncing back!!”
Taking their name from a Polynesian sea-god, Tangaroa are a truly unique hybrid of experimental extreme metal and progressive grind. An abhorrent amalgamation of virtuoso technical abilities and incendiary metal riffs that combine a wealth of styles from black metal, grindcore, hardcore and jazz, and push back the boundaries and concepts of song structures, offering a defiant middle finger response to the current wave of tech-metal pretenders to the throne.
"...a warped musical head-fuck that's certainly metal but quite unlike any you've heard before" - Kerrang!
"Drumming that keeps a solid and often unconventional beat, bipolar vocals that scream and growl as hard as they can, disjointed songs in which structures are played with to the extreme, and utterly staggering guitar work" - Edinburgh Metal Scene.
You can find more information about Tangaroa, and about 'One Hand For The Knife, One Hand For The Throat' then you can check them out on Myspace here!
