Journey Into The Cosmic Inferno

"Though we shall henceforth be Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno, the new group will also be known in short as Acid Mothers Temple and this will no doubt sow confusion in the minds of many. But the true manifestations of Acid Mothers Temple are many - Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O., Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno, Acid Mothers Temple SWR. The future may see yet other groups bearing similar names. But each and all of them will be true manifestations of Acid Mothers Temple.

Thus, on this the tenth anniversary of the founding of Acid Mothers Temple, I announce the birth of the hellchild, Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno" - Kawabata Makoto. First studio recordings since the addition of Pikachu, drummer and vocalist with Osaka grenade-girl duo Afrirampo. A churning psychedelic mandala driven by Pikachu and Koji Shimura's (ex Mainliner, ex High Rise, ex Nagisa Ni Te) explosive twin drum assault. The original super-heavy AMT & TCI groove is blended with Pikachu's wild and spontaneous power. Against a background of ultra-loud fuzz-wah guitar and swooping space sounds, Pikachu and Tabata's (Zeni Geva, ex Boredoms) twin vocals beckon you on an endless journey through the cosmic inferno!

Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno are : Tabata Mitsuru : bass, voice, maratab Higashi Hiroshi : synthesizer, guitar, dancin'king Shimura Koji : drums, latino cool Kawabata Makoto : guitar, speed guru Pikachu : drums, cosmic shaman (from Afrirampo) Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno
