The band comments: “»Mesozoic« is a continuation of the theme from our debut EP »Primordial«. For us, »Mesozoic« was an obvious progression in the timeline in the evolution of our planet. »Mesozoic« comes out on the 4 year anniversary of the release of »Primordial«!

The inspiration for the art of »Mesozoic« came from wanting to move away from typical metal album art that is ‘pointy’ or ‘evil looking’. Instead, we wanted to incorporate elements of nostalgia that represent our jovial attitude towards the band. The more you look at the art, the more you discover! The amazing @l.frostad really brought our vision to life with their Adult Swim style of art (they used to work for Adult Swim, so it was a no brainer!) We are forever grateful for their contribution and we’re honoured to have their work represent our music!”

Written and performed by Itus and Luc Chiasson.
Produced, mixed and mastered by Luc Chiasson at Room 21.

Itus is a doomed sludge band from Toronto & Hamilton, Ontario

Itus was born in 2018 when guitarist Brandon Lucking and vocalist Reinier Vandenbosch began writing doom metal together. Now with bassist Brandon Aitchison and drummer Vince Anastasi, they blend grueling sludge and epic doom with stoner rock and death metal into a compelling mix. Their latest release is the single »Droner« – a heavy metal throwback, with lots of hooks that is widely accessible to rock fans. Vandenbosch conjures sexy clean rock verses that build into fat, sludgy passages. The guys are confident that all kinds of rock and metal fans will dig.

For fans of Conan, Crowbar, Windhand, Pallbearer, Katatonia, Enslaved, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Varials, Black Sabbath.

Itus is:​
Reinier Vandenbosch – Vocals
Brandon Lucking – Guitar
Brandon Aitchison – Bass Guitar
