MARZURAAN

In early 2002 two bass guitars began communicating with each other. Assisted by Pete Burn(tm) and B Stokoe these two guitars crafted an album which became known as ’Mammuthus’. The rumour was spread and around the world people who knew all about Heavy bought, stole, ripped this debut.



Sadly the two bass guitars parted ways, due to sexual differences. As one bass guitar remained, under the watchful eye of B ’status’ Sto-Quo, Pete(c) brought a regular guitar into the cave. Which was followed by a drummeister who was known across the land as Rob Woodcock. As the trio formed the eternal triangle and conjured up extended musical blasts which eventually saw release worldwide in the form of ’Solid State’, a bored passer by sometimes called Stu-III(HMS12sumthin) loitered then was beckoned to provide his voice for the evolving mess of beauty that MARZARAAN was becoming.



Word of these four northerners reached Sir Lord John Peel, who introduced radio listeners to MARZURAAN. Then he was dead. Without a radio friendly to spread the message, MARZURAAN took their music around the northern areas of England-Land and Scottish-Land where numerous people crowded small rooms and large inns to bare witness to this fine, tuneful, twisted, drugged group of four.



A third LP was then recorded, ’Solid Wood’; a four song wax slab of pure heaviness with lush textures and gorgeous tunes. More shows followed, and the idea that MARZURAAN were doom and slow and sludgy etc etc began to crack as the band conjured tunes that were not only under six minutes, but also had canny melodies and understandable(ish) vocals.



MARZURAAN’s latest release, a split cd with TenHornedBeast, was recorded and has just been released on Aurora Borealis records, distributed by Southern records to wonderful acclaim around this world. A compilation CD of covers, lives, rehearsals etc. tilted ’Five Years Of Fuck All’ is now out to cash in on the recent success of the latest release, before the band return to the studio to record another album.
