There are two bands using the name Tolchock:

1. A heavy, minimalist drone-rock duo from Japan made up of guitarist Taku Idemoto and drummer Shoko Yoshida. Tolchock's sound owes a large debt to early German kosmische groups such as Ash Ra Tempel (particularly in their use of echo and looping effects) though it remains sonically aligned with the dark, reverb-drenched feel of 21st century contemporaries such as The Black Angels or The Cosmic Dead. Their debut album "After Fog Open" was released on tape by Sky Lantern Records in mid-2014. They are currently working on their follow up.

2. A crossover between dance music and physical machine music with roots in EBM. The result is a danceable, provocative and aggressive mix of electro and heavy hardcore guitar riffs.

Tolchock have developed their concept from the start in parallel with the electronic dance scene. The music is a hybrid between techno-EBM and Industrial music. Somewhere in the land of Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails and Front Line Assembly.

With history in the cult band Tolchock 14, the new Tolchock took form in 1996 and released the debut album " In The Name Of Tolchock" in 1998. In 2000 they released the maxi CD single : "A practice for hell - Kicks remix", both on the Swedish label Energy Rekords.

The core of Tolchock are the three members: Jesus, Christ and Kinky. Live Tolchock is an adrenaline filled act full of energy with more people and elements added to create an audiovisual and dynamic experience.

Nowadays Tolchock is signed at COP-International. The latest full album is "Wipe out, Burn down, Annihilate" released in 2006. At this moment Tolchock working with new material, and waiting to release a couple of unexpected covers. Read more on Last.fm.
