CREOZOTH: CANDLEMASS Side Project To Release Debut This Month

October 19, 2005

Escapi Music has set an October 25 North American release date for the debut album from CREOZOTH, the new band featuring CANDLEMASS members Lars Johansson (guitar) and Jan Lindh (drums) alongside vocalist Michael Storck (X-PLODE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) and bassist Tobbe Moen (ex-REDFUN, OZ).

According to Lars, the term "Creozoth" has a fictional origin: "It is about a man who eats so much that he explodes in a Monthy Python movie… it is also a 12000 year old plant that lives in the American desert, and also a deadly poison that killed many railway workers," he said.

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, CREOZOTH have been in existence for two years and are fully prepared to unleash their self-titled debut on the world. The CD was written and produced by Johansson at Soundland Studio in Upplands Väsby, Sweden and features "hard, fast or slow 'n' heavy, cool riffs, catchy choruses, tasty songs, [and] wild solos," according to Lars.
