We like to call it “Beer Rock”

Electric Magma Celebrates Ten Years With First Vinyl Release: “Canadian Samurai II” – Scott Reeder (Kyuss) to Mix

For Immediate Release:  Electric Magma celebrates tenth anniversary with first vinyl release: Scott Reeder to mix. A limited edition initial pressing will feature the artwork of legendary fantasy artist Ken Kelley (Kiss Destroyer and Love Gun album covers).

An anomaly its own genre, Electric Magma has been sludging it out in the underground trenches for over ten years. Founding members Tim Reesor (guitars) and Tryg Smith (bass) along with new recruit Mario Lunardo  (drums) are poised to unleash Canadian Samurai II in early 2012.  This monumental release needed a monumental mind behind the board, and thus, Scott Reeder has been tapped to mix the album in Jan. 2012 at the Sanctuary in California.

Special guest, Justin Wagonner of Mr. Plow provides vocals on the title track.

Canadian Samurai II, the follow-up to Mudshovel (2009), is a continuation of the organic riff machine that is Electric Magma. It’s a natural progression of a band that has defined their own instrumental niche within the riff rock genre.  The band is also proud of the term that is often coined when describing their music: Beer Rock.  Plain and simple.

Mario Lunardo makes his recording debut with Electric Magma on Canadian Samurai II, and he has brought a whole new dynamic to the sound with his explosive drum style.
