Thecodontion

Thanks to Alberto and Flavio for mentioning my bands Clactonian and Thecodontion among the most interesting/promising metal bands from Italy at the moment!

METAL DI CULTO ITALIANO. Icone e underdog Andiamo a scoprire le band metal di culto italiane esplorando i principali sottogeneri: heavy metal tradizionale, doom metal, black metal e death metal.Ascol...

Exactly one year ago we completed our first international tour with our friends Atvm (powered by Sügis Productions), playing shows in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland.
As you may have noticed, we haven't been active on stage since then, as things have changed a bit: G.E.F. has moved to Finland, V.P. has been living in Germany for a while now, and with the lineup split across three countries it has become increasingly difficult to organize shows at the moment.

However, this December we'll be back on stage for a show in Italy: details will be revealed in due time. There is also an unreleased record that we hope will eventually see the light of day.

Thecodontion have not (yet) gone extinct.

CDs are finally in the house! Our copies of "Lower Mesozoic Exhibit" have landed to Italy and can be now purchased directly from us. For those who live in Finland, a few copies will be sent to our vocalist G.E.F. (who lives in Helsinki) and his new label Prehistoric Sounds.

Eternal thanks to Chaos Records for making this possible.

In case you missed it!

Our new release "Lower Mesozoic Exhibit" can be now pre-ordered from Chaos Records on digipak CD format, limited to 300 copies worldwide. Cover artwork and layout by Giulia Ajmone-Cat. Pre-order links in comments. CDs will be also available from us after the release date, set for April 4th.

This compilation is a collection of our first two releases (for the first time on CD format), when we played a chaotic blending of war metal and grindcore (without guitars) before shifting toward a more atmospheric/avant-garde death metal direction.

We're glad to announce the release of "Lower Mesozoic Exhibit", a compilation of our first releases "Thecodontia" and "Jurassic", when we played an ancestral and raw blend of war metal and grindcore. Those songs will be now available for the first time on CD format, which will be released by Mexican label Chaos Records on April 4th. Pre-order will be soon available.

Artwork and layout by Giulia Ajmone-Cat, who already worked on the artworks of "Thecodontia" and "Jurassic".

Facebook reminds us that 6(0 millions of) years ago we played our first gig ever. It was a show with Bedsore (debut show for them also!), Verano's Dogs and Sepolcro. It was hosted by Trecentosessanta Gradi, a venue in Rome that unfortunately it doesn't exist anymore.

Many things have changed since then, but this show still has a special place in our hearts.

Here are some remnants from our recent tour in Finland and the Baltic countries. Our new Acid green t-shirts and some Roaming Western Laurasia t-shirts are now available from our Bandcamp/Ampwall sites. Both are 15 euro + shipping costs. Links in comments.

Thecodontion's vocalist G.E.F. got interviewed by Si stava Meglio quando si stava Metal - Podcast, podcast in Italian language. Links in comments.

È con noi G.E.F. (Giuseppe Emanuele Frisone), poliedrico personaggio del metallo underground. Musicista (Clactonian, Thecodontion e mille altri), discografico DYI (Xenoglossy Productions e altro in arrivo), scribacchino (Aristocrazia Webzine). Ci facciamo raccontare della Finlandia, dei tour, dell’underground più underground possibile e di una grande passione per la musica.

Tour is over and we're coming back to our normal lives. More pictures and footages will follow, but now it's time to thank some people:

- Atvm for having fun with us, we talked about this tour for one year and finally happened. Great guys and an amazing band to tour with, we had a lot of fun with you. We will never forget you and hope our paths will cross again, maybe also with other bands/projects of ours (👀).

- Samantha of Sügis Productions for the organization, we never toured abroad before and we're definitely happy about this experience. It was exciting to say the least.

- Are of Sügis Productions again for being an amazing tour manager, ticket seller, sound engineer and driver. Your help was incredible, eternal thanks man.

- All people who attended our shows, it was great seeing you having fun with our music. Including, obviously, those people who we already knew online, it was great seeing you in person.

- All the other bands who played along with us during this tour, including Oksennus, Theoretic, Pyre of Hypocrisy, Verinen Ruho, Psykoosi, Kaptor and Gentle Ropes. No dull bands here, you all guys rock.

- D. Kemppainen who co-organized the gig in Tampere and hosted us in his home for sleeping.

- The nations of Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for their hospitality.
