Ever since their first gig, SHOVEL creates an immediate connection with the vibrant scene of Berlin,Germany, and following their colossal demo in 2019, they managed to establish themselves within the heavy music underground. The four-piece connects the immediacy of an intense riffage, existential
screams and the elusiveness of otherworldly sounds and atmospheres. Emerging from the mud of sludge,
doom and post-metal, their music travels through the openness and freedom of psychedelic textures to
end up crawling in black metal claustrophobia and despair with an unconventional and distinct sound.
"A couple of years ago, we started playing together; we were not even sure we were forming a band,"
guitarist and vocalist Kostis Benning reveals. "Our sincere experimentation and dedication formed these
songs- and these songs formed Shovel. Our debut album is for us a diary of feelings, thoughts and ideas
during the years that passed. And all of these were so intense, that we collaborated with people whose
vision and experience gave us the chance to form these ideas into the album you are about to listen to.“
SHOVEL's upcoming album was recorded live on tape at Big Snuff Studio, Berlin, by producer and
engineer Richard Behrens (Kadavar, Samsara Blues Experiment, Elder). The album was mastered in The
Atomic Garden Studio (California, USA) by Grammy nominated producer Jack Shirley (Amenra,
Deafheaven, Oathbreaker). The artwork and layout was designed by étions formidables.
