Sonic Flower - debut album 'Rides Again' (29.01.20)

SONIC FLOWER were formed as a side project of Church of Misery in 2001. Tatsu Mikami (Church Of Misery bassist) and Takenori Hoshi (guitarist on Church of Misery's 2nd album "The Second Coming") teamed up to play more bluesy and instrumental heavy rock influenced by 70's acts such as Cactus, Grand Funk Railroads, Groundhogs or Savoy Brown.

They were quickly joined by guitarist Arisa and drummer Keisuke Fukawa. In 2003, they released their bluesy heavy rock self-titled debut album 'Sonic Flower' on Japanese label Leafhound Records. This instrumental, improvised double guitar-charged record was internationally acclaimed, and they got the chance to support Electric Wizard, Bluebird or Acid King on their Japan shows.

In 2005, SONIC FLOWER went to the studio to record new material, but as Arisa was pregnant and day jobs prevailed, they put band on hiatus after the recording session. These recordings have been sleeping in the vault for fifteen years, until Tatsu decided to reform the band in 2018. This time he teamed up with old Church Of Misery singer: the result is their brand new album 'Rides Again' which will be released on January 29th, 2021 through Heavy Psych Records. The label will also reissue their self-titled debut album on January 22nd 2021.
