THE LILLINGTONS interview

by marcs77

Scene's veterans THE LILLINGTONS are not just your average punk rock band. They may have not reinvented the wheel, music-wise -actually you can clearly and easily pick what the main influences behind their sound are- but the Wyoming based four-piece has released some very fine buzzy punk pop-tinged music jam-packed with lotta sci-fi, UFO, outtaspace, spy movie, weird and mystery imagery and tales –recently, they wrote also some stuff more centered around secret societies, astrology, and the occult.
Known by many for their ‘99s opus “Death By Television”, the band went on indeterminate hiatus, because of members other music related commitments, in 2006, after the release of their record “The Too Late Show” to return this year in the stores with a brand new full-length effort, out through Fat Wreck Chords on Oct. 13th, 2017.
It’s taken 11 years to get to listen to the new material that makes up “Stella Sapiente” but we do believe it’s really worth the long wait –and, in my book, the addition of new-wave sounds, they threw in the mix, gave a new unexpected dimension and value to a few new songs.
Thanks to Vanessa at FAT we’ve got Kody Templeman (voice / guitar) answer a bunch of questions about the new album, HP Lovecraft, song titles on insects and the Lillingtons’ whereabouts.

AMERICAN NIGHTMARE is back on track!

Yeah, whether you know this seminal hardcore band you'll surely be like "what the heck that's some wondrous news!"
Read on the full press release...

Rise Records and celebrated Boston hardcore quartet American Nightmare are pleased to announce the band’s forthcoming self-titled full-length album. Being released on Friday, February 16, American Nightmare represents the band’s rise from the ashes, expanding their legacy and reestablishing the band as titans of the genre in the process. The enigmatic act may have only released two full-length albums since forming nearly two decades ago but after temporarily losing their name, changing members and breaking up, the band has returned with a dark hardcore record that pays homage to groups who have always influenced its sound ranging from Negative Approach, SSD, and The Cro-Mags to those extending beyond the realm of hardcore such as Joy Division and Siouxsie And The Banshees.

IN.SI.DIA interview

by marcs77

You’re free not to share this view but Italy has had its fair share of good heavy metal bands over the years since the obscure times when the term was invented.
IN.SI.DIA from Brescia, Italia, is a thrash metal band -that’s the scene where they moved the first steps back at end of the 80’s early 90’s- that after reuniting a few years ago, following an indefinite long-standing hiatus, has recently managed to work on and write a bunch of new tunes and hole themselves up into the studio to record and produce the new full-length album “Denso Inganno”.
I’ve been a fan of this band since the early times I was gonna get introduced to the heavier and more underground music and I’d never thought to be here, 20+ years later, and get the chance to interview Manuel (Manny) Merigo, guitar player and founding member of the Italian metal combo, for our webzine.
Let’s read on what Manny had to say to gotanerve-zine and check out their new album, out on Miagliano (BI), Italy based metal imprint Punishment 18 records, if you haven’t yet.

gan: Hey IN.SI.DIA how’s life treating you?

Littlehampton newcomers GLOO reveal ‘Force You’ video

Ahead of a London headline show later this month, Littlehampton trio GLOO are pleased to reveal the video for their latest single ‘Force You’.

Commenting on the concept for the video, the band said: "We just wanted to do something real simple and to the point. We found the busiest street in Brighton we could without Tom getting run over by a taxi and had him shout through the track at double speed. We’re super happy with how it turned out as all the unknowing passers-by are giving zero shits about what’s going on. It’s in your face and to the point like the track.”

"The song itself is basically a massive middle finger to being told what to do, they continue “Do whatever you want regardless of what anyone else is thinking, saying or doing. The cherry on the top is that the main hook for this track is essentially all 3 of us just shouting at you."

SEX PRISONER - HARM DONE - Split 12"/CD/Tape, upcoming Euro tour kicking off on Oct. the 25th

A bulldozer of a split from USA's SEX PRISONER and France, Nantes based's HARM DONE...

After they worked on a European tour happening in October 2017 both bands decided to release a split record. 8 tracks (4 each) of their own kind of furious Powerviolence / Hardcore filled with Metal influences.

SEX PRISONER, Tucson, Arizona - powerviolence/Hardcore unit, sounds a lot like Crossed Out mixed with some Infest. The sound is heavy, abrasive, and definitely rife with anger. They rarely venture into full-on thrash, which is a plus and offering sixteen furious bursts of burly powerviolence/hardcore.

HARM DONE, featuring members of RAW JUSTICE, DIREWOLVES and REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER, started in the Fall 2013. They recorded their debut 7″ in April 2014, a promo tape in May 2015 and debut full length later the same year. They play some kind of cold and no frills powerviolence filled with speed, ignorant breakdowns and HM2 metallic guitar sound.
This record is a collaboration between 4 labels: STRAIGHT & ALERT records and RSR records for the European pressing. DEEP SIX records and TO LIVE A LIE records for the North American pressing. And the artwork is cortesy of Sebastian Bxe (Negativ Null).

You can listen here to the 2-minute trailer Straight And Alert records made for pushing the split https://youtu.be/cISsQNl8wqE

Psychedelic ritualists ETHEREAL RIFFIAN release a new documentary

This psychedelic litanistic heavy experimental doom rock band from Kiev, Ukraine kind of stands among a league of its own; not just because of the crossing of musical boundaries and heading out to unknown roads but the whole complex yet entralling concept, vision and drive behind this artistic project.
As the quartet states "The band’s activity has two main objectives: to compose unconventional music, which is able to expand the frames of the listener’s musical perception, and to shed light on the existence of a subtler plan, whose laws if understood properly may help to perceive the reality on a deeper level".
The band released their latest opus "Afterlight" on August the 17th.

The new documentary “Ethereal Riffian Relics” is dedicated to the band’s very special approach to crafting limited editions. It’s divided into two parts: in the first one, frontman Val Kornev answers 10 questions about ETHEREAL RIFFIAN’s limited editions series; in the second one, all limited editions created by the band to date are showcased.

The band comments: “We already have a short documentary called “Robust Rehearsal”, which describes the background of the band, its creative world, work in literature and its very essential philosophical and spiritual components,” says band leader Val Kornev. “And now we release “Ethereal Riffian Relics” documentary which explains the role of visual presentation and can help our listeners to create a more thorough understanding of our work. This short film will be of interest for all lovers of limited editions, for those who already create exclusive items and for those who only have an intention to create it”.

Now streaming: Czech Rep's REMEK "LP"

This isn't actually a brand new record since it was released on May 4th 2014 but we believe it's really worth checking out.
LP, yeah that's how it looks like they named it, is the second to last release of Czech screamo diy foursome REMEK, a prominent band among the Czech Rep. hardcore punk scene around since 2010.
Their song are screamed in the band's mother-tongue language but you can read the English translation available for each and every track.
I have learned off bandcamp the band is behind and involved with Coffee Breath Records, a label through which they release records on a pay-what-you-want basis and give the money they collect to organizations they care about—mostly those that work around human rights and animal liberation.

MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY - Live @ Superbowl Hardcore - Pescara 24/02/1996

I was recently going through the tales H.P. Lovercraft, the famed horror fiction poet/writer from Providence, wrote in the last years of his career going from 1931 to 1936 (the tales include the classics "At The Mountains Of Madness" and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"). In these writings the uncanny name Miskatonic University, the fictional varsity located in the likewise imaginary city of Arkham, which comes up in several of his stories, took me down memory lane and made me think of a 90's harcore band from Ravenna, Italy.
The 4-piece band, bringing the same name of Lovercraftian university, has been around in the Italian and European punk hardcore between 1992 and 2000 and self-labelled their blend of metallic hardcore sounds and pulp culture infused lyrics Pulp-Core.
Before calling it a day the Miska released two full-length albums, the s/t dated 1993 and the 1995's follow-up "There Will Be Only One" on Boundless records (their own label), and 3 7" EPs.
In 1996, at the peak of their "career" (quote from the band), Miskatonic University played the Pescara Superbowl Hardcore on Feb. the 24th and somebody shot the video of their whole gig you can watch here -it was 1996 so don't complain about video and sound quality, which is pretty good all things considered https://youtu.be/CEk1DPnFZ3s

Oldies but always goodies: LIFE OF AGONY "This Time"

Got first introduced to this band thanks to a show aired in the 90's on the late Video Music channel and titled INDIES.
Attilio Grilloni, the host, was using big words to present this hot new band from Brooklyn, New York named LIFE OF AGONY and debuting on Roadrunner records with the album "River Runs Red". When the video of the song "This Time" kicked off...baam! How couldn't the host be more right about LOA?
Their music just blew me away big time -that break at around 1:24 to 1:38 and the song speeding up into the 1st chorus "You said, "I've got time"But you ain't got time for me" is just freaking awesome. The best mix ever of heavy doomy metal and melodic hardcore.

THE LILLINGTONS to release new album "Stella Sapiente" on Oct. the 13th

Sci-fi punks alert! Read on Fat Wreck press release on THE LILLINGTONS' return...

It’s been over a decade since The Lillingtons released a full-length album—and an anomaly of a record at that. 2006’s The Too Late Show proved The Lillingtons were just as powerful as they were in their initial run, even if the band wasn’t inclined to hop back in the van and be a full-time concern. But with recent spats of activity—touring sporadically and releasing the Project 313 7-inch on Red Scare Industries—*The Lillingtons* are once again giving this band thing a go.

Having signed to Fat Wreck Chords, The Lillingtons toiled away on their new record in secret, crafting an album that is both a continuation of the band’s legacy and a dramatic reinvention. It’s called Stella Sapiente, a title that vocalist-guitarist Kody Templeman says roughly translates to “wisdom of the stars,” and that phrase proves apt given his claim that it’s “centered around secret societies, astrology, and the occult.” This kind of subject matter makes perfect sense for The Lillingtons, a band that has never— and likely will never—find much interest in the mundane. Their songs are pulpy vignettes steeped in intrigue, unraveling mysteries, conspiracies, and cloak-and-dagger operations while bashing through buzzy, pop-focused punk songs.

Fat Wreck Chords to release NO USE FOR A NAME: Rarities vol.#1 - The Covers

All bands (well pretty much all with very little exceptions to this -I know some myself) love playing covers, be it for fun-sake, to tribute the music that inspired their future band or whichever other obscure reasons, and when they get the chance to they record and include their covers on an official release.
North Cal, Fat Wreck Chords roster's staple, and Punk legends in their own right, punk rock combo NO USE FOR A NAME was no different.
Fat Wreck is releasing a compilation album featuring 13 tracks NUFAN has recorded during their times -a 20 years career abruptly ended up with the tragic passing of  Tony Sly (vocals and guitar) on July 31st 2012 .

I've picked off youtube one of the audio videos for the NUFAN cover of Sublime "Badfish" originally featured on a Sublime tribute album titled "Forever Free" out in 2006. Listen to it here https://youtu.be/Hvj6cGiadjE
