Talbot - EOS


Talbot are a 2 man Down-tempo / Experimental / Psychedelic Metal band from Estonia.

They mix Post-Metal/Sludge/Doom/Psych Metal into one big melting pot and play it in their own cool way.

A brief history from the band's website.

"Talbot, the doom-duo from Tallinn, Estonia, were first formed back in the 2003, but real activity started in August 2008.

A month of rehearsals resulted with duo's first show which was quite soon followed by debut EP "Tundra" (October '08). Self released, DIY CD-R.
In spring 2009 "Tundra" was re-released as a limited edition CD-R (100 copies) with two additional tracks via ConSouling Sounds.

After doing some more shows in and out Estonia, Talbot went to their first European tour in May '09 - Tour De Solara 2009. Followed by "Sarkasms Open-Air 2009" in Latvia and Estonia's biggest indie-festival "Plink-Plonk" + more gigs in Estonia & Finland and then it was time to make some fresh material.

2010 started with releasing the new album "EOS" and band went to their second European tour for promoting the album: Tour De Horizon 2010.

In October it was followed by Russian minitour "Tour De Samovar 2010" and then gigging rest of the month around east-Europe under the name of "Tour De Fall 2010".
Came back, spent one day at home and off they went again to spend most of the November by conquering Australia - "Tour De Wombat 2011".

Album "EOS" has been nominated for the Best Metal album of 2010 at Estonian Music Awards."

These guys have been getting massive acclaim on the web and from magazines. And they have been playing shows all over their native Estonia, Europe and Australia.

And these guys do everything self-funded. A True DIY Band.
