Eleven63 Sessions by Balothizer
Louvana Records presents the EP from another episode of its live recorded video series, eleven63 Sessions featuring Balothizer, an electric power trio based in Haringey, North London. In a city where cultures are constantly fused together, Haringey has been the birthplace of Balothizer's amalgamation of a dynamic, ethereal style of music which the band dub as Post Cretan. Raw energy, fast and furious Cretan lute riffs, smashing drum patterns and heavy basslines, mark Balothizer‘s unique and powerful sound and style of music; Cretan Music from Hell!
This EP from the video series of this edition of ‘eleven63 Sessions’ features live versions of the songs Kissamos Waves and Cradle to the Grave found on the highly anticipated debut album of Balothizer “Cretan Music from Hell” and “Foustalieris Two” a song that will be included on the band’s second album “Cretan Music from Hell Vol. 2”. Their second album will be released by Louvana Records in June 2019.

Balothizer are a heavy psych power trio who describe their renditions of Greek island Crete’s traditional music as “post-Cretan”. Their following however has come up with a tagline that defines their concoction of thrash metal with acid-blotted Cretan folk… Cretan Music From Hell!
