Says the band: “We recently had the chance to record a few tracks from our latest record at Southwing Audio, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. We were so happy to collab with their team to get an awesome Studio quality live sound. Couldn’t be happier with the results!!”
Warlung is a Texas band formed by longtime friends and brothers in 2016. Their sound is an ode to classic rock and modern metal, mixing heavy riffs and catchy melodies with a psychedelic twist. After self-releasing their debut album »Sleepwalker« in 2017, they quickly gained a cult following around Texas, opening for bands like Wo Fat and Dead Meadow. The band seemed to accept that they don’t have to stick to traditional themes and goes for more epic storytelling, helping to further expand their sound.
They wasted no time and returned to the studio to release »Immortal Portal« in 2019, becoming a local favorite to support bands such as High Reeper and King Buffalo. Warlung promoted their unique sound by playing notable events such as SXSW, Stoner Jam, End Hip End It Fest, Lone Star Unleashed and Ripplefest. They are renowned for their pneumonic rage, utilizing elements of true doom, stoner rock and occult-driven blues.
After signing with Heavy Psych Sounds to release »Optical Delusions« in 2020 and »Vulture’s Paradise« in 2022, Warlung embarked on their first European tour in early 2023. Their wicked riffs, dream-like vocals and sinful solos subdue the listener into a deep state of fantasia. They most recently appeared on stage at festivals such as Desert Rock Fest, Seismic Summer, and Heavy Psych Sounds Fest, sharing the stage with High On Fire, Truckfighters, Bongzilla, Weedeater, Windhand, and Brant Bjork.
Their fifth studio release »The Poison Touch« (2025) on Heavy Psych Sounds delves deeper into atmosphere while maintaining the gritty undertone that defines these doom rock specialists. From start to finish, the listener is blasted with in-your-face, hard-rocking energy while simultaneously embracing a hauntingly beautiful experience. This new offering keeps exploring new realms, capturing the essence of Warlung’s live sound and serving as both a continuation and evolution of their occult-laden style.
