Pothamus

Pothamus is a tribalesque sludge and post-rock trio from Belgium. Through sparse instrumentation, Pothamus molds their own enigmatic world of repetitive riffage and floating drones backed by trance-inducing percussion and abrasive bass lines. Tune low, turn up, drift off.

Pothamus is a tribalesque sludge and post-rock trio from Belgium. The past few years they’ve been establishing 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, Pothamus returns to the basics of music: coming together and drifting away. Tune low, turn up, drift off.

Wim Leppens (Desertfest) recommends Pothamus:

"Spooky and tribalesque sludge and post-rock we like! Tune low, turn up, drift off."
