Komatsu

Komatsu is a fourpiece stoner formation from Eindhoven, Netherlands. Featuring members of Borehole, Repomen, The Goods, SQY. Komatsu plays a vibrant mix of stoner, rock and metal and uses a lot of samples. Take a dash of Repomen’s brutality, add a piece of GodsChosenDealer’s compelling boldness and a pinch of SQY’s determination and robustness. Run over with a bulldozer, compress, chop up, and casually weld back together. Add a daub of paint and behold the birth of a new machine: Komatsu.
