TOMBWEED

tombweed band

In 2023, after several attempts to find a rhythm section that shares their gravitation towards thick groove, sludgy sound and oldschool frenzy, made under the different bandnames, two long-time comrades in music — Sergey Ryzhenkov (guitar) and Alexander Girfanov (vocals) — form a band named TOMBWEED. Andrey Trifonov joins on drums, while Alexander ads bass guitar to his vocal duties. Thus, tired of waiting for new soundtracks for their parties from Weedeater, Dopethron and Bongzilla, the trio from Tomsk enters the rehearsal room and starts jamming to thick and viscous riffs blaring out of the cabinets — loud, without any plan and with smoke in the air. The musicians make no attempts to reinvent the wheel and immediately start playing strightforward, true stoner-sludge inspired by the sounds of muddy American swamps. The same year TOMBWEED presents its debut release, reminding an old, rusty truck speeding along without any brakes. Besides studio work the band plays shows both in Tomsk and in the neighboring cities. Given the poor representation of their genre in Siberia, each show becomes a big event, however the support of Grave Disgrace (St. Petersburg) in Novosibirsk deserves special mention — this is when the guys got their batteries charged with both stage energy and feedback from the crowd.

Line up:

  • Sergey Ryzhenkov — guitars, music;
  • Alexander Girfanov — bass, vocals, lyrics;
  • Andrey Trifonov — drums.
