TAKOBA + NECROSIS + DOMESTICATED INCELS + LIOTTA RAIL

‘All-core’ and ever-changing, TAKOBA haven’t made a decision in their life beyond the decision to use their debut PURGE EP as homebase for complete cleanse and rebuild.

Featuring members of Gosika, Stop Asking, and Exit:Seraphim/Pipoltr - this volatile stray-dog collective fuses hardcore, death metal, and melodic punk into a sound that’s razor-sharp, emotionally charged, and intended to strike an uncomfortable nerve.

The collection of tracks building PURGE dive headfirst into deeply personal and sickening terrain—the internal violence that remains following sexual assault; perpetual torment of mental illness; recounts of and reflections on active addiction and domestic violence.

TAKOBA obliterate genre lines and expectations with cathartic force and unrelenting honesty.

Having already turned heads with a string of blistering live shows and quickly growing repertoire, TAKOBA may have kept us waiting for their debut single, but not for a glimpse of what's to come. ‘Mantis’ doesn't only have the most earworm intro you'll hear in heavy this year, but has stood out as an intimate work of lyricism confronting the violence eating disorders and the crushing weight of body image and societal pressure.

Accompanied by weapon locals, and with exclusive CTS tour merch available.
