Godchilla (IS)

Godchilla are three mysterious boys ripping sludgy waves. Comprised of Birgir Sigurjón Birgisson, Hjalti Freyr Ragnarsson and Höskuldur Eiríksson this Reykjavík-based surf-doom band first grabbed attention in 2013 upon releasing one song on 19 limited floppy disks. They quickly garnered a reputation for loud, intense live performances with elaborate visual and atmospheric elements. Their live intensity is equality reflected on their powerful debut album, Cosmatos, which came out in fall 2014 and was recorded in Stúdíó Sýrland. Their overall sound is a seamless blend of ethereal aggression, meditative patterns and shamanic sexuality, which holds their audiences as devoted captive subjects
