Being a significant cog in the acknowledged machine that Greek heavy rock is, Puta Volcano keep pushing forward what was set in motion back in 2012, when their debut EP was released. Athens, Greece had already established its importance as the birthplace of new and exciting sounds and that is exactly what the creation of the debut album "The Sun" was in the period 2012 – 2015. A bunch of rumbling live shows took place, highlighted with a slot in that year's Rockwave Festival in Athens, alongside The Black Keys, The Black Angels and 1000mods.
Rest is a luxury modern rock n' roll can't afford, so the engine had to rev again and the "Harmony Of Spheres" album was already on the way. In 2017 they planted their feet firmly to the ground and the mixture of Seattle grunge and sounds of the Californian desert were enhanced with an artistic quality and scent that set them apart and provided a unique identity among the rest of the emerging bands.
Just right before 2020 showed us all its teeth, "AMMA", the latest Puta Volcano album, was released in March, enforcing the long lasting relationship with their fanbase. All the elements that made this affair exist in the first place were ever present, making it the most commercially successful of their catalogue. The COVID-19 breakout coincided with the planned launch of their largest EU tour yet, cutting the album cycle short and leaving a ton of unfinished business for the future.
