Italian desert cult rock psychonauts BANTORIAK return to unveil their long-awaited new album “Vol. II”, set for release on June 19th, 2026 via CD, colored vinyl and digital formats on Argonauta Records. Seven years after their acclaimed debut Weedooism, the band opens a new sonic chapter, expanding their vision into a deeper and more immersive psychedelic experience.
Conceived as the solo vision of Izio Orsini (Rancho Bizzarro), BANTORIAK evolves on this new chapter into a collective ritual, bringing together longtime collaborators and fresh contributors. The result is a hypnotic blend of psychedelic doom, drenched in a warm, vintage 70s-inspired sound, where desert winds meet humid, mystic atmospheres and hard blues inflections.Thanks to the awesome folks over at Argonauta Records and Grand Sounds Promotion, we're happy to premiere the album in full which you can hear in all it's wonderful psychedelic glory.
