Spiral Guru

Spiral Guru was formed in 2013 by Samuel Pedrosa (guitars) and José Ribeiro Jr. (bass). The band from the state of São Paulo has since gone trhough different formations untill consolidate itself as a quartet with Andrea Ruocco (vocals) and Alexandre Garcia (drums).

Expanding the borders of stoner, the band incorporated in their first full length album, VOID (2019), different influences that goes widely from psychedelic rock to post punk from late 70’s. The use of effects, synths and unconventional instruments, especially in the synaesthetic intros, conjoins to a sound that some listeners associate to Space Rock or Heavy Psych.
Without losing the cadence, groove and fuzzy distortions associated to stoner, VOID is the transformation of all the cultural repertoire gained by the band in the past years into an unequivocally authorial piece. The album caught the attention of domestic and international specialized media, highlighting the Doom Charts appearances and a spot in the Classic Rock Magazine Best of The Year 2019 CD.

In early 2024, Andrea Ruocco left the band after moving to Canada. Following this change, Spiral Guru renewed their line-up with Patrícia Carvalho and Matheus Deffende joining the project, so as a quintet the band was able to finish with class the recording of their second full album, Nexus, which explores themes such as mythology, science fiction, time, endings, affections, and the processes that simultaneously embrace and suffocate.
