CARSON

BIOGRAPHY
The Swiss / New Zealand power trio Carson stands out from other stoner rock bands with its unique musical style, sophisticated two-part vocal harmonies and captivating, energetic live shows. Since 2020, this power trio are back after a short break and delivers with the release of the new album «The Wilfull Pursuit of Ignorance» in April 2022. Compared to the debut album «Drown The Witness» from 2017, which is filled with many, sprawling psychedelic monster tracks, «The Wilfull Pursuit of Ignorance» shows yet another side of the band. The tracks are heavier, more straightforward and grungier – without losing the unique sound that runs through all their work. Whether it’s the dynamic vocals that draw you in, the beautiful melodies, the massive riffs or the hefty sludge punch, Carson deliver it all! The driving and grooving rhythm section provides a solid foundation for the endless hooks – «The Wilfull Pursuit of Ignorance» sounds classic and innovative at the same time. The latest work landed at 4th place on the Doom Charts April 2022, in the Top 10 of the CH-Artist Charts, got 8 out of 10 points at Desert-Rock.com and received raving reviews in magazines like Metal Hammer, Rock Hard, DrumHeads, etc.

In addition to the release, Carson spent a total of five weeks in 2022 on tour with bands like Siena Root and Deville, played various club shows with bands like King Buffalo, Duel as well as Powder for Pigeons and could be seen at festivals like Up in Smoke, Rock im Wald, Dudefest as well as Pietra Sonica.
