Talons
info:
Talons are an instrumental band, who call the backwater town of Hereford, UK their home. Forging the explosive energy of hardcore, the subtleties of post-rock and the fractured song structures and complexities associated with math-rock, Talons possess a fascinating sense of urgency and drive, with a sound that both soothes and savages in equal measure.
The six-piece are best experienced in a live environment, where the visceral, raw energy of their music can be fully appreciated.
Hollow Realm, the bands debut album, was produced in early 2010 by former iForward Russia! frontman Tom Woodhead. The album is comprised of 8 songs, written as a single piece of music.
