NYHETER UKE 19 - 2010 CD PHOSPHORESCENT HERE’S TO TAKING IT EASY Dead Oceans http://www.myspace.com/phosphorescent DOC 025 0656605132525 PHOSPHORESCENTs MATTHEW HOUCK er i ferd med å utvikle seg til en av de definerende singer/songwriterene i dette tiåret med tre album pluss WILLIE NELSON-tributen, To Willie, på CV’en. Det er dog først nå, på brilliante Here’s To Taking It Easy, hans åpenbare talent slår ut i full blomst. Platen har fått enorm dekning i seriøs musikkpresse og Mojo slår den opp som månedens album over to sider og påstar at Houck er ”incapable of taking a wrong turn”. Uncut følger opp med en helside og sammenligner med midt-70’talls DYLAN, GRAM PARSONS og NEIL YOUNG. Houck sier det treffende på It’s Hard to be Humble (When You’re from Alabama): “I ain’t come to stand here for none of this bullshit, man / I came here to play”. Dette er tidløs rock/americana/country som bør nå ut til svært, svært mange. 4/5 MOJO 4/5 UNCUT 4/5 Q GAYNGS RELAYTED Jagjaguwar JAG 165 http://www.myspace.com/gayngs CD 0656605216522 Månedens debutalbum i Uncut kommer fra det RYAN OLSON-ledede indiekollekvtivet GAYNGS. Uncut: ”Relayted sounds like a Mo’Wax album played by a hairy alt.rock band”. Og nettopp hårvekst er i høyeste grad en faktor da folk som BON IVERs JUSTIN VERNON og MEGAFAUN bidrar. Ifølge Olson selv er platens eneste inspirasjon 10CCs I’m Not in Love, mens Uncut avslutter sin svært treffende anmeldelse med: ”Relayted manages to be both comfortingly familiar and devastatingly futuristic; both 35 years old and 10 minutes into the future, the point where Lindsey Buckingham meets Lil Wayne. It could be the best debut album of 2010”. Lydverket er også fans og har laget følgende sak: http://www.nrk.no/lydverket/gjengmentalitet-i-indiemiljoet/ MALE BONDING NOTHING HURTS Sub Pop SPCD 854 http://www.myspace.com/malebonding CD 0098787085426 Det er ikke hver dag (hvert år/tiår) Sub Pop kikker over Atlanteren når signeringsblokka er fremme, men jaggu har de ikke greid å signere et vaskeekte britisk band i Londons MALE BONDING. Bandet kommer fra hipstermiljøet i Dalston og Shoreditch, men henter hoveddelen av sin inspirasjon fra Sub Pops side av storhavet; HÜSKER DÜ og BLACK FLAG høres, det samme gjør DINOSAUR JR og shoegazere som SLINT, eller som Mojo sier: ”…a poppier No Age”. Låter som Weird Feelings og førstesinglen Year’s Not Long er, uansett inspirasjon, rene innertiere, og all Vans-bekledd ungdom bør sporenstreks rulle longboardet sitt ned til nærmeste platedealer. ”…this 29-minute debut really is exceptional” 4/5 MOJO Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com I NYHETER UKE 19 - 2010 JAPANDROIDS NO SINGLES Polyvinyl PRC 193-2 / PRC 193-1 0644110019325 / 0644110019318 CD/2LP JAPANDROIDS-debuten, Post-Nothing, endte opp på over 30 ’Best of 2009’-lister, deriblant NME, Pitchfork, Spin og Stereogum. Før den releasen ga bandet ut to femspors EP’er på CD-R mellom 2007 og 2008, begge limitert til 500 eksemplarer hver. Og ja, du gjetter riktig: disse to er nå samlet på No Singles. Platen leveres i en forseggjort fold-out digipack med innholdsrik booklet med bandets tidlige historie, bilder osv. Også i lager på dobbel 180g gatefold vinyl! http://japandroids.com/ SAGE FRANCIS LI(F)E Anti EPIT 70112 http://www.myspace.com/sagefrancis CD 8714092701128 På albumet Li(f)e tar SAGE FRANCIS et musikalsk sjumilssteg framover! Den hyllede rapperen leverer her et album der både tekster og musikk er preget av noe så kontroversielt som intelligens og humor, uten at noen bør føle seg fremmedgjort! Det er fremdeles veldig fengende, og låtene har blitt tilføyd nye dimensjoner, takket være samarbeidspartnere som JASON LYTLE (GRANDADDY), CALEXICO, CHRIS WALLA (DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE), JIM BECKER og TIM RUTILI (begge CALIFONE), MARK LINKOUS (SPARKLEHORSE) m.fl. samt produsent BRIAN DECK (MODEST MOUSE, IRON & WINE). Resultatet har blitt et flott album, som fans av ATMOSPHERE, THE ROOTS, FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINALS og SAUL WILLIAMS vil elske! 4/5 THE SKINNY 2DVD CLUTCH LIVE AT THE 9:30 Weathermaker WM 014DVD http://www.myspace.com/clutchband 0896308002132 Dobbel DVD fra CLUTCH. Disc 1 er en konsert fra Washington DCs legendariske 9:30-klubb i desmber 2009, hvor bandet starter med fire låter fra Strange Cousins From the West før de gyver løs på samtlige 13 låter fra sin selvtitulerte 1995utgivelse.

GANGLIANS MONSTER HEAD ROOM Souterrain Transmissions SOU 010 0673790025937 CD Et sted mellom noise-popen til WAVVES, Elephant 6-kollektivet, og psykedeliaen til post-Smile THE BEACH BOYS finner vi Sacramentos GANGLIANS (gang + aliens, see?). Monster Head Room ble først gitt ut i fjor på det lille, men kredible Brooklynlabelet Woodsist, og er nå plukket opp for bred europeisk distribusjon via Souterrain Transmissions.

Cooking Vinyl COOKCD 508 http://www.myspace.com/nellbryden CD 0711297490824 NELL BRYDENs debutalbum What Does It Take består av en skjønn mix av country, soul, blues og litt jazz. Flere av låtene fra dette albumet har vært A-listet av BBC Radio 2, og hun har solgt over 10.000 album i Storbritannia, og turnert med bl.a. COUNTING CROWS og K.T. TUNSTALL. Albumet, som er produsert av Grammyvinner DAVID KERSHENBAUM (TRACY CHAPMAN, TORI AMOS, JOE JACKSON) og JOHN HILL (NORAH JONES, SHAKIRA, M.I.A.), er et must for fans av JOSS STONE, EVA CASSIDY, NORAH JONES, DUFFY og PATSY CLINE. ”A woman who not only packs a vocal punch, but knows how to write a killer tune as well.” BBC “Nell Bryden writes well crafted pop songs, her voice has great depth, flexibility and energy” TIME OUT NYC INDIAN JEWELRY TOTALED We Are Free WRF 008 CD 0656605510828 INDIAN JEWELRY steg opp fra Houstons undergrunnsscene tidlig på 2000tallet, og de har siden gitt ut to vellykkede plater på We Are Free (som også ga ut Yeasayer-debuten og Ponytail). Bandmedlemmene Erika Thrasher og Tex Kerschen sier følgende om Totaled: “the sum of hundreds of shows on the road and hundreds of hours under headphones.” De har også hentet funkelementet fra Prince-coverbandet sitt, Diamond + Pearls, et element som gynger deilig under deres sjamanistiske lo-fi-støy. http://www.myspace.com/indianjewelry MADDER MORTEM WHERE DREAM & DAY COLLIDE Peaceville CDVILES 294 0801056729422 CDEP Ny EP fra MADDER MORTEM.

Vi har ventet 4 år på bandets nye album, Pandemonium, men snakk om album som har vært verdt ventetiden! Bandet har gått tilbake til det soundet de benyttet på klassikerne Red Hot & Heavy og Future World, og de 11 låtene her er akkurat så sterke som man kunne håpet på, og vel så det! 8.8/10 HARD ROCK HAVEN 88/100 POWER OF METAL 81/100 LORDS OF METAL http://www.myspace.com/pmaids THE AUSTERITY PROGRAM BACKSLIDERS AND APOSTATES WILL BURN Hydra Head HH 666204 0634457525221 CDEP THE AUSTERITY PROGRAM fra New York kombinerer det industrielle med det metalliske. Det ene knusende riffet etter det andre, så mosh-verdig at du får lyst til å spandere en øl på trommemaskinen deres. “…allows everyone who yaps about the lack of truly original music to take a couple listens and then shut the fuck up.” 10/10 DECIBEL MAGAZINE http://www.myspace.com/theausterityprogram ALTAR OF PLAGUES WHITE TOMB Candlelight CANDLE 304CD 0803341322837 CD Reutgivelse av albumet som Profound Lore ga ut i fjor. Et episk album som kombinerer elementer fra blackmetal, postrock, ambient, industrial og doom til en sonisk, atmosfærisk helhet. Omtrent som svartmetallens svar på MOGWAI og OLD MAN GLOOM. “Thrilling work, and one of the most promising black metal debuts since Diadem of Twelve Stars (Wolves In The Throne Room)” 8/10 TERRORIZER http://www.myspace.com/altarofplagues DISAPPEARS LUX Kranky KRANK 143 CD 0796441814329 DISAPPEARS leverer ikke akkurat det du forventer av en Kranky-utgivelse, så legg den hjemmelagde LABRADFORD t-skjorta nederst i skuffen, få på deg mørke solbriller og ta fram luftgitaren.

MAI WINTERSLEEP NEW INHERITORS One Four Seven OFS 013CD CD 5051865918752 Tracklist: 1. Experience the Jewel 2. Encyclopedia 3. Blood Collection 4. New Inheritors 5. Black Camera 6. Trace Decay 7. Mausoleum 8. Echolocation 9. Terrible Man 10. Preservation 11. Mirror Matter 12. Baltic Wintersleep spent two years touring the world in support of their last album Welcome to the Night Sky, picking up a Juno Award back home in Canada for Best New Band and playing with the likes of White Lies, Editors and the Maccabees along the way. Unavoidable on UK radio, whether it was with storming live favourite, “Oblivion” or the festivalhit-in-waiting “Weighty Ghost”. They did sessions for Zane Lowe at Radio 1, 6 Music, and XFM with platitudes heaped upon them from the likes of Mojo, Q, NME, Rock Sound, Clash, The Fly and The Word. Lesser bands would have followed up this success with a simple rewrite.. if it ain’t broke…instead, Wintersleep have chosen to make some of the most expansive, dynamic, dark and courageous rock music you’ll hear this year. There’s a lot of time to kill when you play over 200 shows a year and Wintersleep have used it to their advantage. Quality time spent devouring work by the likes of Hank Williams, Jorge Luis Borges, Nathanial Hawthorne, Flannery O’Connor and Karen Dalton, in between understanding the dynamics of sound in a tiny space as well as the power of a 10,000 capacity room. While their lyrics to date have focused on the personal, the songs on New Inheritors tend towards a bigger worldview. The narrator is a voyeur, commenting on situations rather than being in the situation itself. Without a doubt, a much more brooding, shadowy record, at times the lyrics verge on the intentionally indecipherable - check the pre-chorus to “Blood Collection” - suggesting a menacing, indefinable figure. Moments and memories are alluded to across multiple songs and overarching themes of alienation and despondency crop up repeatedly. But make no mistake this is not a miserable record, from album opener, ‘Experience The Jewel’ to the closer ‘Baltic’, New Inheritors is an album of rousing, inspirational rock songs. Recorded in Montreal and mixed in Glasgow with Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Malcolm Middleton, Dirty Pretty Things, Teenage Fanclub, The Delgados), Wintersleep’s sound is more expansive, less distorted and more cerebral. For the first time, the band opted to work with both a brass and string arranger on some songs, but rather than overpower with swathes of violins and trumpets, they form a core part of each track rather than an awkward add-on. You may have felt like you had Wintersleep pegged and pigeonholed but this record will undoubtedly sweep away any misconceptions and win over a huge new audience. You may have thought you knew exactly what this record would sound like before you clicked play or dropped a needle. But you definitely will not have been expecting this. FORHÅND 18. MAI AUDRA MAE THE HAPPIEST LAMB SideOneDummy SD 1416 / SD 1416-1 CD/LP 0603967141627 / 06039671415610 Tracklist The Happiest Lamb Millionaire The River Snakebite My Lonely Worry The Fable Lightning In A Bottle Sullivan’s Letter Bandida Smoke Little Sparrow Since arriving in Los Angeles, AUDRA MAE has landed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell, a TV placement singing BOB DYLAN’s Forever Young on the FX series Sons of Anarchy, a record deal with SideOneDummy Records, and in late 2009, co-wrote Who I Was Born to Be, the only original track on SUSAN BOYLE’s chart-topping, 9 million-selling I Dreamed a Dream album. It has turned out to be a dream come true for the 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Oklahoma. Growing up, show business was in AUDRA MAE’s blood. She is the great grand niece of the late JUDY GARLAND and her grandmother turned her on to country and folk artists like PATSY CLINE, DOLLY PARTON and WOODY GUTHRIE, while her grandfather introduced her to jazz. AUDRA MAE is a natural without a doubt. The Happiest Lamb, produced by TED HUTT (THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM) spotlights MAE’s incredible voice and her songs are timeless affairs augmented with minimal accompaniment, including acoustic guitar, piano, mandolin and sometimes mournful accordions. AUDRA will be on the road supporting The Happiest Lamb for the remainder of 2010.

Tchad Blake brings his sonic excellence into the fold to handle mixing duties… Muscle Shoals has produced iconic recordings from The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, and Wilson Pickett, among many others… Carney admits Brothers is the album they’ve always wanted to make and taps into their creative force as a duo. “Dan and I grew up a lot as individuals and musicians prior to making this album. Our relationship was tested in many ways but at the end of the day, we’re brothers, and I think these songs reflect that.ˇ The ghosts of Muscle Shoals inhabit Brothers’ 15 tracks. Of the album, Auerbach says, “We like spooky sounds… like Alice Coltrane, where a dark groove is laid down. That’s the headspace we tried to get into for this record.ˇ The album includes the Danger Mouseproduced song “Tighten Upˇ and a cover of the Jerry Butler classic “Never Gonna Give You Up.ˇ Its been an remarkable couple of years for THE BLACK KEYS… Their last album, 2008’s “Attack & Releaseˇ, was by far their most successful to date, and the year culminated with them playing a sell-out show at Brixton Academy in London… Early 09 saw Black Keys singer/guitarist DAN AUERBACH venture out on his own with a critically-acclaimed solo album, “Keep It Hidˇ, that covered a variety of musical styles from psychedelia and soul via gospel and bluegrass. Late 2009 saw the Keys spread their wings further with their celebrated BLAKROC project, an exhilarating collaboration between themselves and a star-studded line-up of influential hip-hop artists that included Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Raekwon, ODB, Pharoahe Monch, Jim Jones, Nicole Wray, NOE and Billy Danze (M.O.P).

I Know This Is No Place For You 5. I Alone Got Up and Left 6. I Know This Is All My Fault 7. I Did Not Call Out Harvey Milk’s “A Small Turn of Human Kindness,” is the difference between watching a movie like Irreversible vs. watching a movie like Independence Day. Both good films, however the first stimulates a foreign mixture of emotions that require you to sleep it off, whereas the latter concludes with you feeling comfortable with the fact that you’re a lazy, wasteful, culturally sequestered American who has sat through this fucking movie way too many times in his/her life! So, I think you get the idea, “A Small Turn of Human Kindness,” is as dense and as heavy temperamentally as it is musically. The seven songs so subtly bleed together that the listener has no choice, but to view the entire album as a linear orchestration with a singular ebb and flow. A rising and falling action, refined to hell and back. And so, all of these things lead me to believe that any and all true Harvey Milk fans will eventually argue this record as the band’s finest work. Or at least the vinyl version will become the quintessential mantle-piece for a generation of suburban children slumming it in the inner city you know who you are! BIO: Harvey Milk is a sludge/noise rock outfit formed in the early 1990’s from savannah, Georgia. Harvey Milk disbanded around 1997. Due to increased popularity while the group was no longer active, the band reformed (around 2008). Hydra Head released the bands first new record after the hiatus, “Life the Best Game in Town....” “A Small Turn of Human Kindness” is title of the first track on the band’s first proper release... and their seventh proper full-length release Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com IX NYHETER UKE 19 - 2010 FORHÅND 18.

Tracklist Furthering the focused songwriting and recording aspirations reached on New Seasons, The Sadies bring their signature blend of country, psychedelic, rock and surf into rifle-scope focus on Darker Circles, further underscoring their reputations as musicians’ musicians. Always at the top of the list when discussing musical chops and live intensity, The Sadies are now more intent than ever on making their mark as songwriters. In one turn as heavy as a sledge, and on the other flitting across melodies with the ease of so many sparrows, The Sadies prove once again that denying them now is simply prolonging your conversion. So go on, pull up that screeching wooden chair that bows with your weight. Slide it up next to the turntable and drop the needle, The Sadies are a sure thing….tomorrow isn’t. 1. Another Year Again 2.

Astral Projection LIMBONIC ART RETURNS WITH ARGUABLY THEIR PRE-EMINENT OPUS “PHANTASMAGORIA”. A TRUE MASTERPIECE OF WAGNERIAN BLACK METAL ART! Formed in 1993, LIMBONIC ART for a short time existed as a four-member project. It wasn’t until inventor DAEMON met up with local musician MORFEUS, however, that the true nucleus and unconventional concept of the band was found. With the duo thus sorting all areas of what most would consider a “normal” band relationship, DAEMON and MORFEUS completed a four-track rehearsal tape that would merely hint at the band’s distinctive take on symphonic Black Metal. Fastward to 1996 and shortly after hearing the band’s only recorded material; Nocturnal Art Productions owner SAMOTH (of EMPEROR fame) instantly offered LIMBONIC ART a recording deal. That autumn the band’s much-revered debut, Moon in the Scorpio, was recorded and later released. In Abhorrence Dementia (1997), Epitome of Illusions (1998) Ad Noctum/Dynasty of Death (1999) two collectable box sets (2000 and 2001 respectively, Hammerheart Records) The Ultimate Death Worship (2002) followed, finding the band further widespread acclaim. Touring, festival appearances, including their headline (and US debut) at the 2001 Milwaukee Metal Fest, as well as outside interests (ZYKLON, DIMENSION F3H, etc) kept the duo amassed in creative outpourings through the early millennium. After 2002s The Ultimate Death Worship, the band broke up. Since the departure the two members have been active on different fronts, DAEMON with his black-thrash metal band SARCOMA INC and REVOLT, and MORFEUS with DIMENSION F3H, both releasing full-length albums. 06.06.06 the two members, DAEMON and MORFEUS, decided to bring back the dark powerful entity LIMBONIC ART. The comeback album Legacy of Evil was released worldwide in the fall of 2007 and was a successful return. Now in 2010, LIMBONIC ART returns as a one piece, only with original member DAEMON, as the one and only song-writer and craftsman behind the entity. LIMBONIC ART returns with arguably their pre-eminent opus Phantasmagoria. A true masterpiece of Wagnerian Black Metal art! The Daemonic Era is here, your ride now awaits! FORHÅND 25.

Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me 13. Love Reign O’er Me BETTYE LAVETTE brings the British Invasion home to its American R&B roots on her latest CD, INTERPRETATIONS: THE BRITISH ROCK SONGBOOK, due May 25 on Anti-. While BETTYE’s Grammy-nominated 2007 disc The Scene Of The Crime went to the source to find triumph over her own anguish, INTERPRETATIONS looks to the past this time for inspiration and uncovers common ancestry in seemingly divergent musical paths. Produced by BETTYE, Rob Mathes and Michael Stevens, the album is a 13-song journey through compositions by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd among others, before concluding right where the very idea for INTERPRETATIONS started: BETTYE’s visceral show-stopping rendition of The Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me” from the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors, which appears here as a bonus track. That performance – which first brought BETTYE together with Stevens (the event’s producer) and Mathes (its musical director) – served notice that BETTYE is no mere singer. As an extraordinary interpreter of song, she doesn’t merely mold a piece of music to suit her tastes; she is a conjurer of deep, emotional truths: “Bettye LaVette punched a hole right through her version of Pete Townshend’s ‘Love Reign O’er Me,’ letting all the song’s emotion pour out in a way that its creators never conceived,” observed the New York Daily News. Townshend himself came up to Bettye after her performance, took her hands into his and said, “You made me weep.” Throughout INTERPRETATIONS, her performances are a revelation not just of raw emotion, but of the inexorable ties between British rock ‘n’ roll and the American blues and R&B, which when combined, catalyzed popular music. That Lennon, McCartney, and so many others who crossed the Atlantic in their wake, were deeply influenced by American music is no great secret. What BETTYE demonstrates here so convincingly is the degree to which rock ‘n’ roll and American soul remain bound by bloodlines. The Beatles’ pre-psychedelic Rubber Soul classic “The Word” takes on an almost religious fervor, while Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” is transformed from a majestic pop song into a stark, almost desperate expression of devotion. Profound alienation becomes intense longing on Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here,” and the wistful naiveté of The Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satin” matures into a deep and unshakeable lament. BETTYE inhabits these songs, revitalizes them and exposes the humanity that makes these 13 tracks not just pop songs, but enduring works of art. Such mastery hardly comes as a surprise to at least one legend featured here. Elton John (whose “Talking Old Soldiers” appeared on The Scene Of The Crime) offers this endorsement of BETTYE’s impassioned take on “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”: “Bettye LaVette has always been a wonderful singer – I have been a huge fan for many years. To my delight and surprise she recorded an amazing version of ‘Talking Old Soldiers’ – a song that nobody else has covered – and made it her own. “Now she has recorded ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ and has done exactly the same – but this time with a much more familiar song. I am truly touched by her picking these songs and can only hope that this album brings more attention to this incredible artist.” Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com XI NYHETER UKE 19 - 2010 FORHÅND 25.

It strips away the many layers of paint from the house down the street where we know Jurado has occupied for the last decade. The new coat is exhilarating. It makes the whole neighborhood shine. It’s a modest grandiosity; still homegrown. The mellotron swells, heavenly handclaps ring in stereo and big drums create a sky for the songs to fly in. And the words.Words spring forth from within the volcano of Jurado, full of hope. There’s so much hope, in fact, that album opener “Cloudy Shoes” turns into a call-and-response with himself, as though it were a dialogue between two halves of himself. “I wish that I could float up from the ground / I will never know what that’s like” Heavy stuff. Richard Swift’s Spector-esque production is spot-on. He ferries Jurado across the river, where the metamorphosis occurs. He then ferries him back, and it is through Swift’s lens that we see Jurado not as a folk singer, but as a mystic — somewhere between Van Morrison, ScottWalker and Wayne Coyne. Saint Bartlett was made entirely at Swift’s National Freedom studio in Oregon, in just under a week with only Jurado and Swift as the performers. FORHÅND 25.

Vinyl LP Tracklist Get ready to celebrate a new sort of Sabaoth. GLENN DANZIG -- the man, the myth, the muscles, the MISFITS mastermind and, of course, the master of many talents, ranging from composer to comic book publisher -- is ending a six-year dearth of new music. The album is his ninth and was produced by DANZIG himself. It was recorded in Los Angeles throughout the course of 2009. The multi-tasking DANZIG handled bass duties for most of the album and even played drums on the song Black Candy. Deth Red Sabaoth is 11 songs strong, and some song titles include The Revengeful and On a Wicked Night. There is also the two-parter called Pyre of Souls; part one is said to be dirgy and opens with an acoustic guitar, a piano and DANZIG’s signature vocals, while part two erupts with electric guitar fury. Longtime DANZIG cohorts guitarist TOMMY ViICTOR of PRONG, who has worked with the singer since 1996, and drummer JOHNNY KELLY of TYPE O NEGATIVE/SEVENTH VOID, played on the album, which marks the first time KELLY -- who has intermittently sat behind the kit for DANZIG live shows since 2002 -has actually recorded with DANZIG. The album has a natural feel, thanks to the way the iconic DANZIG attacked the recording process, choosing to steer clear of studio trickery and technology. “I think that fans will really dig this new album,” said DANZIG in a statement. “I’ve been told several times that the album has a cool vitality to it, that it sounds energized, and I got that feeling when I was recording it. I wanted to have an organic sound, bigger and thicker, so I went out and bought some 1970’s Kustom tuck ‘n’ roll bass amps to play some of the guitar parts through. You’ll hear real reverb, real tremolo on this album, which sounds completely different than the stuff that’s done with computer chips.” From that description, it sounds like Deth Red Sabaoth is going to be beefier than DANZIG’s arms, which look like they could crush walnuts! The visually-arresting artwork for Deth Red Sabaoth was designed by award winner JOE CHIODO, who has worked on dozens of graphic novels and comic books, most notably X-Men Unlimited. It makes total sense, as DANZIG is a noted comic book fan and publisher; CHIODO also works on DANZIG’s own Verotik publishing line. DANZIG will tour in support of the album, with dates to be announced imminently. STEVE ZING, who played in SAMHAIN with DANZIG, will play bass on those dates. FORHÅND 25.

JUNI BLITZEN TRAPPER DESTROYER OF THE VOID Sub Pop SPCD 825 / SP 825 CD/LP 0098787082524 / 0098787082517 Tracklist Destroyer of the Void Laughing Lover Below The Hurricane The Man Who Would Speak True Love and Hate Heaven and Earth Dragon’s Song The Tree (feat. Alela Diane) Evening Star Lover Leave Me Drowning The Tailor Sadie It is fitting that ten seconds into Blitzen Trapper’s fifth full-length record, front man Eric Earley utters that most sacred of rock ‘n’ roll tropes: “For to love is to leave or to run like a rollin’ stone,” he sings in the harmonized verse that leads off the album’s epic title track, “Destroyer of the Void.” As is the case with just about every musician or band that has employed the Blues’ greatest simile—Muddy Waters, Hank Williams, Van Morrison, the Temptations, the Rolling Stones—Blitzen Trapper is unabashed in its embrace of tradition. Over the course of their four full-lengths albums to date, including their revelatory 2008 Sub Pop release Furr, the Portland band has already made that much clear. And, Earley’s considerable poetic talents and his band’s hardearned chops have gained them a growing international audience. The band’s continuing exploration of American music that spans from the ‘60s folk movement to the country sounds of the ‘70s, to the pop balladry and prog rock of the ‘80s has earned it notice ranging from Rolling Stone magazine to late-night network television to Yo Gabba Gabba, among a great many others. Destroyer of the Void takes Blitzen Trapper one step further, building on the band’s seamless marriage of the familiar and the fantastic to, literally, create an otherworldly experience. But there is more to Blitzen Trapper than those traditions. More than anything, the band credits its music to its Pacific Northwest home. It is there that the six members came together ten years ago and formed a creative cauldron from which would emerge numerous novels, a locally-celebrated play based on the film Manos: The Hands of Fate, innumerable art projects and, of course, a flood of fantastical songs. Destroyer of the Void is only the latest work to emerge from this world, but it is one where their musical community is on full display. During two distant and brief breaks from the band’s near-incessant touring for Furr—one in January 2009 and the other in January 2010— Earley and a few of his bandmates entered the attic studio of the lauded Portland musician and studio engineer who had recorded Furr standouts “Lady on the Water” and “Black River Killer,” Mike Coykendall (Bright Eyes, M Ward, She & Him). In those two winters, in that old attic, Coykendall worked with Earley to bring life to these songs, including material the songwriter had been working on for years, most notably the piano ballad “Sadie.” The producer wasn’t the only local luminary to fill out the album. Preternatural musical siblings Peter Broderick (Horse Feathers, Efterklang) and Heather Woods Broderick (Efterklang) wrote the album’s string arrangements, while folk standout Alela Diane lent her angelic vocals to the duet “The Tree.” The heart of Destroyer of the Void, though, is still found in Earley’s meticulous songwriting. Here he is firmly in storyteller mode, expanding on the mythical world he created on Furr. That album introduced listeners to a ragged but beautiful world populated by mysterious killers, anthropomorphic narrators and benevolent women living in watery ways. Here, those characters are joined by a wandering tailor, a black-eyed lover, a flower-tongued balladeer and, of course, a host of lost lovers rolling along the road of life to a truly original American soundtrack.

Together they have developed a broad array of musical material and honed an explosive live sound all their own.

We Did It When We Were Young The Gaslight Anthem’s third album reveals a remarkably powerful rock ‘n’ roll outfit honed by two years of nearly non-stop touring. Singer/guitarist Fallon’s passionate lyrical approach has grown more personal and introspective, his raw throated vocals stronger and more resonant against the band’s pulse-pounding dynamic force. The album burns with the spirit of soul, the energy of punk, and the artistic ambition of any hall of famer you’d care to name. AMERICAN SLANG is the battle cry of a great band finding its own voice and using it to shout to the rooftops and beyond. The Gaslight Anthem hit the road hard in 2008 and never looked back. After two straight years of touring supporting the release of their break-through album THE ’59 SOUND, the band returned home in November 2009 and took a well-earned month off before getting back to work. For AMERICAN SLANG The band was determined to be true to their influences while not being defined by them. Where in the past The Gaslight Anthem may have seemed overly reverential to its inspirations, the goal here was to stake a claim for the band’s own individuality. “We had to figure out, what are we doing?” says Fallon. “What do we have to say? What makes us different than everybody else? So with this one, we worked really hard, to find out what we’re made of.” AMERICAN SLANG turns up the dial on the band’s love of soul and classic rock, while still flying the flag of its hardcore roots. Songs such as “Bring It On” and “Orphans” provide the exhilarating answer to Fallon’s musical question, what if the Rolling Stones played with breakneck energy of Stiff Little Fingers? The stirring title track, with its mordant acknowledgement of “when it was over/I woke up alone,” served as a kind of songwriting mission statement for Fallon. Though his lyrics remain populated with finely etched characterizations the overall focus is more self-directed and concise. “I was hiding a lot of things in imagery before,” Fallon says, “I was using pictures and distractions to get my point across. This one was more about just telling it how it is. Being like, ‘Look, I’m gonna let you in on this. This is my world and what I deal with.’” With its astonishing range and undeniable urgency, AMERICAN SLANG is The Gaslight Anthem laying it all on the line, giving it all they had to give. Achieving their dreams only served to fuel The Gaslight Anthem’s already limitless ambition, driving the band to test their mettle as artists and as men. “It gave us the opportunity to get to see what we were made of,” Fallon says. “Not a lot of people get that. It’s like, do we belong here or is there somebody better? We’ll see what happens. To us, we did our best and that’s the thing that really matters.” Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com XVII SJEKKLISTE NYHETER UKE 19 - 2010 ARTIST HARDROCK/METAL 1349 Absu All That Remains Anaal Nathrakh Aura Noir Avantasia Barren Earth Benea Reach Bigelf Blood Tsunami Burzum Clutch <code> Converge Darkthrone Devil’s Blood Doro Dødheimsgard El Caco Electric Wizard Emperor Enslaved Fear Factory Galar Gates Of Slumber Ghost Of A Thousand Ihsahn Illusion Suite Insomnium Isis Jon Oliva’s Pain Jorn Katatonia Keep Of Kalessin Khold Krallice Kylesa Madder Mortem Masterplan Melvins Mistur My Dying Bride Nachtmystium Neurosis Obituary Opeth Orcustus Pantheon I Pelican Sabaton She Said Destroy Shrinebuilder Sunn O))) Susperia Svölk Taake Theatre Of Tragedy Thundra U.D.O.
