»TON 618« marks Mezzoa’s most ambitious and immersive record to date – a heavy, atmospheric blend of stoner rock, massive riffs, and hypnotic soundscapes that showcase the band at full creative strength. Released in 2025, the album arrives in exclusive, ultra-limited editions handcrafted by Wax Mage Records, each one produced entirely by hand with one-of-a-kind color patterns.

These Wax Mage variants are true pieces of vinyl art: no two copies are alike. Created in small batches using experimental vinyl-pouring and color-mixing techniques, they are highly sought after by collectors and fans of handmade, artisanal pressings.

Beyond the stunning vinyl, »TON 618« delivers a dense, cosmic atmosphere inspired by its namesake – the largest known black hole in the universe. The production is powerful, the songs are expansive, and the album flows through stoner, doom, and heavy psych with a dark, space-driven aesthetic.

Born in San Diego, this hard rockin power trio consists of former members of Magdalene, Super Sonic Dragon Wagon, Gunfighter and G13. They released their first album titled »Astral Travel« on El Falcone Records in 2017.

These homies brewed up a nasty concoction of heavy blues, stoner thunder and straight up, good ol’ hard rock n roll. Crooner style vox, with hooky melodies and harmonies with lyrics you can relate to and understand. Mixes 70’s style songwriting, with the chunky stoner/grunge style guitars of the 90’s.

Mezzoa is the idea of playing music that hits home with the writer. Personal situations and life events are played out in lyrical and musical ceremony. The music we love with homies we respect. The line up is comprised of bradas who grew up together and listening to all kinds of different styles of music. Starting from the early influential days Of Sabbath, Zeppelin, Beatles, Sex Pistols, and Kiss. On to the next set of influences, including blues greats to the grunge years to now!

Mezzoa is:
Ignacio “El Falcone” Maldonado – Guitar, Vocals
Q “Dust Devil” Pena – Bass
Scott “Eeeeeaaah” Hoover – Drums
