Formed in 1972 in Lima Peru, Tarkus released their self-titled debut LP that same year and then promptly broke up, lasting for less than 9 months before reforming for a second record in 2007 (Tarkus 2) and then promptly breaking up again, this time for good. They are one of thousands of bands that sprouted up in various pockets of the world making great and interesting heavy music that might have been lost to the sands of time if not for the glory of the internet.
