Crushing Sun

In a world of over-developed complexity, the intelligent people urge to go back to their roots and simplicity. With no artificial worries, recharged, they can go, demanding new horizons. Mechanization and digitalization, the murder of the individuality and sharp thought, the constant bombing attacks, the diverse linguistic ethnicities… welcome to «TAO», CRUSHING SUN’s debut album. A METAL album, with no additives, posts or suffixes. Forget for a while trends, labels, categorizations and styles… enjoy the music with most of the senses you can use to perceive it and, we guarantee, you won’t regret entering the TAO world. Crushing Sun was formed in late 2003 when a group of friends – Bruno Silva on vocals, Paulo Lopes on guitar, Rui Pinto on bass and Marco Silva on drums – first started writing some songs together. During the next five years the band managed to play more than 60 shows both in Portugal and Spain, sharing the stage with bands like Mnemic and Ophiolatry and developing their own take on modern metal brutality. In that period, they have recorded two demos and established themselves as one of the most solid and vicious live acts in the current Portuguese underground scene. Come 2008 and they released the now infamous «Bipolar» split CD with friends E.A.K., which marked their first link with Major Label Industries and granted the band a new slap of live shows, solo and sharing the stage with too many international names to name them all. The last half of 2009 was basically spent recording their debut fill-length, «TAO», which is being released early June on MLI. Read more on Last.fm.
