Instrumental Hard Rock / Fusion Group DAMIAN MURDOCH TRIO Sign With Prosthetic Records; New Album Due This Fall

Prosthetic Records has announced instrumental “experimental heavy blues rock” outfit, Damian Murdoch Trio, as the newest addition to its roster. The Berlin-based trio combines elements of hard grooving heavy blues and experimental fusion with headbang-inducing, riff-laden heavy rock and roll.

Formed by Australian transplant Damian Murdoch, best known for his work with progressive metal group The Ocean, the trio’s current lineup also includes bassist Harry Stöckl and Micheal Posch on drums.

The Damian Murdoch Trio released their debut album, Electric Tentacles, in 2013. The band’s sophomore effort is due out later this year; stay tuned for more details.

“We’re totally excited to be working with Prosthetic,” says Murdoch. “We’re currently knee-deep in the writing process for our next record, which is shaping up to be quite heavy so far. The plan for this one was to write the dirtiest, filthiest record possible, so we’ll see where we end up.”
