Elepharmers (Sardinia, Italy) are a stoner/heavy-psych trio. Formed in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy in 2010, the band consists of Guido Solinas aka El Chino on guitar, vocals, bass; Andrea Cadeddu on lead guitar; and Maurizio Mura on drums. Always placed in the stoner genre, the three formed in the metal, thrash, grunge and hard rock of the 70s, 80s and 90s: the trio's sound is driven by powerful downtuned guitar riffs and drum grooves, bluesy vocals and a free-sounding lead guitar.
Over the years the band has released three albums: "Weird Tales From the Third Planet" (Go Down Records, 2013), "Erebus" (Go Down Records, 2016) and the concept "Lords of Galaxia" (Electric Valley Records, 2019). The Elepharmers have toured in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands; they have played at important international festivals such as Duna Jam, Elav Stoner Open Air, Maximum Festival, Monolithix Fest, Electric Valley Festival and have shared the stage with bands such as Karma to Burn, Orange Goblin, Yawning Man, Red Fang, Mars Red Sky, Toner Low, Monkey 3, Electric Moon, Wedge, Messa, Giobia and many others.
The spring 2020 European tour was postponed and then unfortunately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout 2020 and 2021 the Elepharmers suspended concert activity but continued to write new stuff, and in 2022 they resumed playing clubs and festivals in conjunction with the pre-production of a new album. Western Wilderness is the band's fourth album released by Electric Valley Records in October 2025.
