TarLung is a doom/sludge power trio from Vienna, Austria. Since 2013, TarLung stand for a thick and colossal sound: Two low-tuned guitars, a hard-hitting drum-set and brutal vocals create an earth-shattering live sound and mesmerizing records.
TarLung was formed in late 2013. After just 6 months the band recorded their self-titled album at DeepDeepPressure Studios and released it before playing a single live show. A series of gigs in Austria and Germany followed, with bands like Saturnalia Temple, EyeHateGod, Arabrot, Suma and Conan.
In 2016 TarLung hit the DeepDeepPressure Studios again to record the »Void« EP and the follow up full length album »Beyond The Black Pyramid« in a three-day session. »Void« was released on tape in October 2016.
In 2017 TarLung had their first festival appearance at United We Stand, along with other gigs in Germany and Austria. The second full-length »Beyond The Black Pyramid« was released in May, with the support of Black Bow Records (Jon Paul Davis of Conan). The cover art was created by Alex Eckman-Lawn.
2018 brought touring through the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland with Throne from Italy, including the Stoner Doom Festival in Katowice.
2019/20 were focused on writing new material for the upcoming third album. Two releases followed in 2021: A split EP with heavy noise rock heroes KRPL from Graz, and the new full-length album, »Architect«. The response to »Architect« was overwhelmingly positive, which included making it into the Doom Charts as #12 of June 2021. One of the highlights of a Covid hampered 2021 was co-headlining the first night of the Doom Over Vienna Festival.
Since 2022, TarLung worked on the new material for the new full-length album »Axis Mundi«. In 2023, they toured Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Czechia and Slovenia with their friends Mares Of Thrace from Canada for two weeks. »Axis Mundi« was recorded in 2025, again at DeepDeepPressure Studios, and again featuring artwork by Alex Eckman-Lawn.
»Axis Mundi« is released January 30, 2026 by Argonauta Records, on vinyl, CD, and on digital platforms.
