Lofofora

Lofofora is a French heavy metal band, from Paris. Formed in 1989, it is made up of Reuno (vocals), Phil Curty (bass guitar), Daniel Descieux (guitar) and Vincent Hernault (drums). The band's name is a reference to peyote, whose scientific name is Lophophora williamsii1. Lofofora is considered one of the pioneers of fusion metal rock (saturated guitars, rapped delivery, punk flights) in France. It was shortly after the meeting of Phil Curty (bass) and Erik « Ragout » Rossignol (drummer) within the band The Hammers that the impulse for a new style of music took shape. The quartet's first concerts took place in 1990-1991.
