SURU- "CATHARSIS"

SURU is a melodic metal band from Guadalajara/Toledo, Spain. Formed in 2008, the group was founded by vocalist Alvaro Malta and guitarist Rubén Nogueira. One month later, Juli was the first bassist of the band and three years later he quit. After several changes, the current lineup is: Alvaro Malta-Voice, Rubén Nogueira-Lead Guitar, Adrián Hidalgo-Guitar, Juanma Viñas-Bass and Victor Martinez-Drums.
SURU is the result of exploring new sounds in the European metal scene. Deep melodic voices and death screams come together to create an original band. Heavy guitars and powerful drums complete the songs. The name of SURU means sorrow (finnish language) and it reflects the pessimism feeling of the lyrics. They call this concept as Brutal Goth.
After great local shows, in 2010, SURU takes part in the tour “When death is most alive” with Dark Tranquillity and Insomnium in Madrid (Spain), thanks to Century Media.
In 2011, the band signs with Suspiria Records for the release of their debut album called “Catharsis”, with the collaboration of Tuomas Saukkonen from Before the Dawn and Black Sun Aeon.
