Psychedelic Doom Metal band from Poznań, Poland.
====
The LP Deities is Tortuga’s (PL) second album. The album is entirely DIY, including inner artwork. The cover was made by Rafał Wechter, who created artwork for Iron Maiden, Slayer or Metallica among others.
The drums were recorded in the attic of an old barn in Chabsko with tons of natural reverb. The rest of the instruments were recorded in our own rehearsal room.
====
The album is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft stories and each song tells a story of a different Lovecraftian deity. The only exception is the song titled Defective Mind Transfer, based on Lovecraft’s short novel From beyond.
