Turin, Italy's premium sludge dealers TONS are set to return with their loud and gritty fourth album "Stoned Villains" on Heavy Psych Sounds this April 20th.
Your favorite weed sludgers Tons are ready to come back with their fourth studio album this April, the aptly titled "Stoned Villains" on Heavy Psych Sounds Records! From the very first listen, their distinctive sound strikes instantly, with seven tracks of skull-grinding, sulfurous doom-sludge with influences ranging from the '90s to Turin-inspired hardcore punk — the scene in which our "villains" were born and raised. Expect heavy razor-sharp riffs, a seismic rhythm section, and Gingerzilla's voice barking out ungraceful tales of weed abuse and uncontrolled eating. The songs perfectly encapsulate the Tons state of mind: a band that doesn't take itself too seriously and turns its trademark tongue-in-cheek irony into its unfailing superpower.
Forged in 2009 by members of the Turin hardcore scene (The Redrum, Lama Tematica, NoInfo), Tonsdeliberately traded breakneck speed for a colossus-sized, slow-motion onslaught — sludgy-as-fuck, caustic and laced with wry weed wisdom and local esoteric mystique.
From their 2012 debut, Musineè Doom Session, Volume 1, to the punishing Filthy Flowers of Doom (2018) and the evil and acerbic Hashension (2022), Tons has never taken a single prisoner. The unstoppable foursome has shared stages with iconic acts such as Bongzilla, Unsane, Napalm Death and Church Of Misery, and relentlessly stormed festivals across the continent (Desertfest, Sonic Blast, Frantic Fest, Venezia Hardcore, HPS Fest).
Blasting forth with a new player behind the kit, Tons is ready to crank it up to maximum sludge levels again with their fourth album Stoned Villains, due out in the spring of 2026 and followed by a promotional Japanese tour in May. The album was recorded and mixed in Turin by Danilo "Dano" Battocchio at Deepest Sea Studio and mastered by James Plotkin, with artwork and graphics by Steuso.
