Hebi Katana was formed in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. What started in extensive jam sessions and first demo recordings on an iPhone, would soon become a monolith of a Heavy Doom debut, when the trio took the Heavy Music community by storm with their self-released album. In 2021, the Samurai Doomsters teamed up with the Italian powerhouse label Argonauta Records, who released their first full-length album as a part of the Argonauta LTD100 vinyl-series.
While Hebi Katana’s second album, “Impermanence,” was distributed earlier in February, 2022 via Unforgiven Blood Records in Japan, Heavy and Classic Doom metal fans who have a soft spot for 70’s vintage Rock, dark melodies, big groove and a hint of grunge, should give an ear and watch out.
In December, 2022 they toured in Chile and made it a huge success. Their 3rd album “III” was released on December 13 2023 and the band is taking part in several tours througout Japan as well as aiming for international performances and releases in the near future.
