  • WOJTEK

    (Website-only Distro)
    Sludge - Post-hc - Noise

    Hailing from Padua since 2019.
    A hyper-productive wall of sound fueled by raw emotions.
    The sound wall is stratified, and the vertical drumming and the cascades of electricity trigger new ideas and unexpected harmonic lines so that everything conveys into ever more incendiary performances. In September 2023, they gave birth to “Petricore,” the fourth record of the band, that takes the same violent sound of DTDSDUIS to new , rounded (squared) horizons.
