Italian Weed Metal Is Good, Man

Italian Weed Metal Band TONS Slowly Pots

Turin, Italy’s self-described sludge, doom, and oh yeah, weed metal band TONS brings it on their third studio album Hashension.

One listen to “Slowly We Pot” and you know TONS is the real deal, no wacky weed business here. Nice and wet, screamy, growly. Check it out below.

TONS, formed in 2009, focuses on weed culture with humor in sync with their hometown of Turin. The band is Slowninja (vocals, bass, synths), Little Stevie (guitar), Glüten Freidrich (guitar), and Vito Power (drums).
