Says the band: “Here is »Human Farm«, our ultimate monument of fuzz worshipping, riff-driven stoner attitude and 70’s imbued heavy desert rock. You can feel Etna’s black volcanic ash in your mouth while listening to the eight chapters of our psychedelic (yet brutally honest) tale, that fits very well with the twisted world we all live in these days. A morbid production line of faceless human beings sharing the same fate: becoming the cogs of the same big machinery that created them all… unless some discarded brains jam the well oiled gears of the big factory. Meet the absurd creatures of »Human Farm«’s psychedelic voyage, so sit back, take a deep breath and dive into this unforgettable trip where madness and reality melts, fading the line that tells each other apart.”

Rhino is a heavy stoner rock band rising from the sulphuric city of Catania, on the slopes of the Etna volcano, where the five members play a mix of stoner/desert rock from the ’90s and 2000 blended with the deep psychedelia of the ’70, resolving in an attitude built around a riff-driven composition, a megalithic wall of fuzz and tons of watts. Rhino was born in 2012 by an idea of the bassist Frank The Door and the guitarist Red Frank, briefly joined afterward by the drummer Lord J. Frank. Following the guitarist Francesco Cucinotta opting out of the band, the lineup was completed by Frank the Doc on vocal duties and Frank Real Tube on guitar. The lineup stood the same since then.

Since their beginning, Rhino stand out for their extensive live activities through Italy, sharing the stage with such bands as Red Fang, El Perro and many relevant Italian acts. The band debuts in 2013 with their self-titled EP, followed by their first full-lenght »The Law Of Purity« (featuring »I See The Monsters« videoclip), released on 2017 through Argonauta Records. Renewing the collaboration with Argonauta Records, Rhino’s second full-length »Human Farm« will be release on early 2024, showcasing the most mature work of the band, who confirms to be true to riff worshipping and atmospheric psychedelia, still crossing the genre defining boundaries in an album that stands as unique in its segment.
