Reach supersonic levels with new single »A Breakfast For Champions«
»A Breakfast For Champions« is the follow-up to Komatsu’s 2021 record »Rose Of Jericho«, and their first outing as a three-piece. As expected with the Eindhoven trio, skulls get crushed by this sonic sledgehammer, but this new album also showcases a more sensitive facet from these bearded gentlemen. To cut it short, becoming a trio hasn’t taken anything away from the band’s pulverizing grit and adds some extra chemistry and breathing space that takes their sound to higher levels – something that might seem impossible, but sure as hell ain’t.
So strap in and brace yourself for another assault of monstrous grooves, a hefty meal served with lots of bravado to start a new day – the day when Komatsu confirmed their reputation as one of the heaviest and coolest bands in the stoner/sludge crossover scene. And once you’ve caught every blow, straightened every twist and managed to hit every turn, you realize you’ve just been served a breakfast for champions.
Komatsu »A Breakfast For Champions« (LP/CD/digital) out April 11th on Heavy Psych Sounds – Preorder
In 2010, the sky ripped open above Eindhoven Rock City. Four musicians came thundering down, surrounded by ferocious-looking thunderbolts and the roar of a thousand gods. Their mission? Scorch the earth with a brutal mix of sludge, stoner and metal. Komatsu was born with the surefire determination to never look back.
Over the years, Komatsu have released an EP and four albums, refining and perfecting their earthquake-inducing low-end rumble and grinding, ear-shattering signature sound. It hasn’t been left unnoticed. Quite the contrary. Their unique approach unabashedly destroyed the stoner community by way of bulldozing both fans and press to smithereens, resulting in opening slots for bands like Truckfighters, Karma to Burn, Clutch, Nashville Pussy, High on Fire, Corrosion of Conformity, Brant Bjork and Baroness, while also infusing the after party of Queens of the Stone Age’s show at the Effenaar in Eindhoven with a highly addictive cocktail of sweat and gasoline. High-profile European tours with Duel, The Freeks, John Garcia and Mondo Generator followed, the latter of which completed a personal challenge set out by the band and fulfilled a big dream: sharing the stage with all original Kyuss members.
2025 sees Komatsu present their fifth album to the world, once again released via premium European stoner and doom label Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
