Jesus Figueroa, @Thisfunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with bassist James Magruder about Kallohonka’s debut album LAZOR BLOOD, available on March 13 via Terminal Records. Stoned out slugs from the Dark Wood of Olde! Originally hippy Christian cult members, the quasi-discernible minds of KALLOHONKA were conscripted by CIA-run hallucinogenic brain mutation research programs, fracturing their individual reality tunnels. As accusations swirled of sowing the seeds of both Jonestown and the Hale-Bopp fiasco, KALLOHONKA fell into the stuff of legend. Eventually escaping a dark site lab in 1997, KALLOHONKA became a festering hive ego composed of primordial goo. In the mid-2000s, KALLOHONKA returned to its roots, reforging the bear cult feasts of the elder days. While gorging on ursine flesh, they sang craven arias to the souls of the phantasmic beasts, hiding with style and aplomb, the true method of dispatch used to fell the creatures. Rising through the cacophony, a final opus to the animal's skull rang true and beautiful as it was placed atop a century pine, casting the bear's spirit back into the stars to be perpetually born anew. Join us in grotesque bacchanals of these feral hymns. KALLOHONKA Unleashes Debut Full-Length LAZER BLOOD March 13 on Memory Terminal Records
