Crushing Sun

they can go, demanding new horizons. Mechanization and

digitalization, the murder of the individuality and sharp thought, the

constant bombing attacks, the diverse linguistic ethnicities… welcome

to «TAO», CRUSHING SUN’s debut album. A METAL album, with no

additives, posts or suffixes. Forget for a while trends, labels, categorizations

and styles… enjoy the music with most of the senses you

can use to perceive it and, we guarantee, you won’t regret entering

the TAO world.

Crushing Sun was formed in late 2003 when a group of friends – Bruno

Silva on vocals, Paulo Lopes on guitar, Rui Pinto on bass and Marco

Silva on drums – first started writing some songs together. During the

next five years the band managed to play more than 60 shows both

in Portugal and Spain, sharing the stage with bands like Mnemic and

Ophiolatry and developing their own take on modern metal brutality.

In that period, they have recorded two demos and established themselves

as one of the most solid and vicious live acts in the current

Portuguese underground scene.

Come 2008 and they released the now infamous «Bipolar» split CD

with friends E.A.K., which marked their first link with Major Label

Industries and granted the band a new slap of live shows, solo and

sharing the stage with too many international names to name them

all. The last half of 2009 was basically spent recording their debut

fill-length, «TAO», which is being released early June on MLI.
