SONIC FLOWER 10 Titles

Sonic Flower were formed as a side project of Church of Misery in 2001. Tatsu Mikami (bass) and at that time Church?s guitarist Takenori Hoshi (guitar on Church of Misery?s second album The Second Coming), teamed up to play more bluesy and non doomy taste instrumental heavy rock. They were influenced by famous ?70s heavy rock bands like Cactus, Grand Funk Railroad, Groundhogs, Savoy Brown, etc. Soon female guitarist ?Arisa? and drummer Keisuke Fukawa joined the band. In 2003, they released the self-titled debut album Sonic Flower on Japanese Heavy rock label, Leafhound Records. All instrumental bluesy heavy rock and improvised double guitar, they got a tons of good response from all over the world. They also played some shows as support for some foreign band's Japan appearance like Electric Wizard, Bluebird (Amen's side project), Acid King, etc. In 2005 they went to studio for new recordings. At that time the band has some problems and after the recording quit. So, these recordings were long years sleeping in the vault. Totally unreleased studio materials. In 2018 Tatsu decided to re-form the band. He has already tons of new songs. This time he teamed up with old Church singer and his old friend.
