THAMMUZ: How Four Dutch Misfits Became Heavy Rock’s Unlikely Saviors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flCJCquTS70
Ever heard of a band that records a debut album in a weekend? Yeah, neither had I—until THAMMUZ crashed into the scene like a freight train on a caffeine bender. Born from the ashes of Dutch bands Dreckneck and Fuzzboar, these riff-wielding renegades (Tinus, Harm, Jip, and bass sorcerer Jurren) didn’t just pick up the pieces—they forged a sonic battering ram.
Let me paint the picture: 2020, lockdown hell. Most of us baked sourdough. THAMMUZ? They churned out Into the Great Unknown in 48 hours, a fuzz-drenched beast that clawed its way to #2 on the Doom Charts. But fate’s a fickle beast—just as they revved up for live chaos, COVID slammed the brakes. Did they sulk? Nah. They hunkered down, brewed darker grooves, and spat out 2022’s Sons of the Occult—a love letter to doom that’d make Black Sabbath nod approvingly.
Now, III (May 9, Argonauta Records) is their gut-punch encore. Imagine Kyuss jamming with Soundgarden in a smoke-filled bunker—stoner rock’s raw swagger meets grunge’s brooding soul, all wrapped in bluesy psychedelia. Harm’s vocals? Think whiskey-soaked sandpaper. The riffs? A tectonic plate shift.
THAMMUZ isn’t just recycling nostalgia. They’re evolving. Post-lockdown, their sound’s tighter, meaner, dripping with the kind of urgency that only survival brings.
THAMMUZ proves heavy rock isn’t just alive; it’s snarling, hungry, and Dutch as hell. Crank it. Lose your mind. Thank me later.
