Pothamus
ESNS:
2022
Pothamus is a tribalesque sludge and post-rock trio from Belgium. The past few years they’ve been delivering energetic live shows while devoutly brewing new sounds. Through sparse instrumentation, Pothamus molds their own enigmatic world of repetitive riffage and floating drones backed by trance-inducing percussion and abrasive bass lines. All while putting the search for meaning central. Driven by the big questions, on debut album ‘Raya’ Pothamus returns to the basics of music: coming together and drifting away. Tune low, turn up, drift off.
