NEW TRACK MAGIC MUSHROOMS IS OUT
Modula Nation is a distinctive fusion of experimental-psychedelic-space rock combined with heavy industrial riffs, complex rhythms and tight grooves. The Group was formed in Graz and is one of the most promising rock bands of the Austrian underground scene.
The progressive rock quartet from Graz delivers pulsating space rock odysseys that take their audience on a psychedelic journey into various musical worlds.
Modula Nation has had the honour to share the stage with legendary artists such as: Molotov, Tito & Tarantula, Mother's Cake, KMFDM and Skinny Puppy among others.
The project sprouted out of previous musical combos of singer, multi-instrumentalist Heinz Wallner and fellow bassist and long time collaborator Ricardo Paz. Their friendship and love for a wide range of musical genres combined with brainstorming all night jam sessions aided to develop the bands individual musical sound.
Further band members who complete Modula Nation's musical vision are Philipp Pluhar on drums and electronics as well as Markus Steinrück on guitars.
The recording and production phase of Modula Nation's long awaited debut album titled "THE RIFT" is finally complete. The album will be released via Tonzonen Records (GER) in 2026. Read below for more details on the upcoming album.
