Madrid rockers TOUNDRA started their journey in 2007. Their sound blends powerful riffs, beautiful deep melodies and intricate atmospheres, all wrapped up in elongated electric songs that emphasized their dangerous flammable live potential, and soon saw them develop into one of the most applauded instrumental acts in Europe. Within a record time they managed to release three albums independently, toured Europe, were featured at some of the most important festivals, including Primavera Sound & FIB, and eventually also managed to land a record deal with Superball Music in 2014.   Their previous album, 'IV' (2015), made it to an impressive #2 in the Spanish general charts and saw them tour Europe intensively with more than 150 shows in 18 countries, the band even made their first live appearance in the US. Championed as one of the best records of the year, crossing countries and border, ‘IV’ was eventually chosen as 'Album Of 2015' in Spain's influential Mondosonoro magazine.   In April 2018, TOUNDRA returned with their fifth album 'Vortex', via InsideOut Music. Marking a new beginning for this loud instrumental rock n roll gang, they rest confident in the knowledge that they are about to unleash the most straight-forward, heart-stopping, earth-shaking album of the year.

After two years in the making, the band seals their long-awaited return in 2025 with the highly anticipated narrative sequel to “āl bēlūti dārû”: zamāru ultu qereb ziqquratu Part 1 (Music from inside the Ziggurat); is the first chapter of a set of 2 concept albums in which the band deepens its exploration of ancient Babylon with an almost mythical approach through the eyes of the exiled captives from Jerusalem.
Featuring contributions from 7 international collaborators, zam ru ultu qereb ziqquratu is poised to become one of the most ambitious projects in the doom scene in terms of production & conception and will be released by the finest label in the genre: Heavy Psych Sounds.
The album pushes sonic boundaries by featuring two drummers recorded simultaneously, creating the immersive effect of distant crowds. An eclectic mix of instruments, including the saz, viola, sitar, and bugle, blend with both analog and digital elements to enrich the soundscape. A nod to Turkish composer Fazıl Say is also present, with a quotation from his symphony Mesopotamia.
