Tectonic Shifts is a stoner/doom metal group from Helsinki, Finland. Founded in 2020 as an outlet for the members’ loud leanings, downtuned dreams and fuzzed-out fantasies.

“Delve into the fuzz bubble; let the riff lead the way.”

Tectonic Shifts play epic stoner doom with massive riffs and jammy, psychedelic sections.

»High Ground« is Tectonic Shifts’ second release, and the first as a traditional power trio. Conceptually, it’s about contemporary humanity gaining the upper hand in the struggle against nature. From the high ground we watch as our actions become ever less justifiable to ourselves.

Musically, »High Ground« is about figuring out how to be a trio. Jams are smoother to pull off, while the heavy parts have been aided with the addition of multiple amplifiers and layers of dirt. The quest continues, but we think we gave it a decent effort.

Recorded during 2024 in various diy locations around Helsinki.

4 songs, roughly 25 minutes of music…Most probably an EP.

“Tectonic Shifts aim to perpetuate the fuzz bubble. They dwell within.”

Recorded and mixed by Otto Kyrklund. Mastering by Petrus Rapo.
