BIOGRAPHY
AZAZELBLUE'S EARTHWORMS
The four boys produce a sort of Indie Rock crossed with Blues oozing death.
They succeed completely in forming a really harmonious and compact ensemble,
distilling some powerful, warm, but particularly sombre music.
This can be seen from the start with titles like “Losing my connections”
or the implacable “Keep the pressure”.
The rest is just as striking, like the venomous “Last deep breath”,
with its slide guitar recalling
the darkest moments of the first period of Alice in Chains.
Stephen Garey’s voice fits perfectly somewhere between Tom Waits and Peter Murphy.
The icing on the cake is a very impressive reprise
of the Bauhaus classic “Bela Lugosi’s dead”,
very ponderous but with no sign of awkwardness,
that you will listen to over and over again once you discover it.
AZAZELBLUE'S EARTHWORMS music is influenced by the Blues, Indie Rock, Punk, and it
brings you all around the underground Rock scene with their radical sound, mixing heavy
riffs, slide guitar and inspired haunted vocals.
The Band started out in Lausanne Switzerland at the end of 2007.
