Biography
In early 2008, a musical experiment was put in motion between friends and acquaintances. The idea was to put together four musicians from diverse musical backgrounds and see what could happen. Within a few months, Jurojin was born, and this unlikely combination has been gathering attention and critical acclaim since their live debut in June of 2008 at London’s Borderline club. With countless shows now under their belt, including a short US tour, an acoustic show at London’s prestigious Barbican Hall and a UK tour with metallers Sevendust in late 2008, Jurojin will be taking back to the stage in early 2010 in the run-up to their upcoming debut release.
Mixed and mastered in Baltimore by Drew Mazurek (Linkin Park, HIM, Nothingface), “The Living Measure of Time” is OUT NOW!
“Superb debut album… Jurojin’s category-defying music simply has to be heard to be believed. One of the most unique bands of 2010” – Kerrang Magazine (4K)
“Jurojin’s debut sees them coming out with all guns blazing and leaving nothing to chance… the track “Proem” displays a maturity far in excess of the band’s apparent experience and neatly bridges the heavier elements of “The Living Measure of Time” whilst providing enough downtime to pick your jaw up off the floor” – Rocksound Magazine (8/10)
“Not many metal bands have a classical tabla player. It’s a stroke of cocksure genius that adds an entirely unexpected and otherworldly dimension to the remainder of the album… Jurojin have swiftly mastered restraint… The end result is an assured and heartening debut” – Classic Rock Magazine (Prog)
“Jurojin are a band who can lay genuine claim to being different with a disparate group of musicians (including a Tabla-player and jazz bassist) coming together to make some intriguing and exciting new music that is, quite possibly, without peer. One of the best new bands of the year” – Sonic Abuse
