NOTIZIE PRINCIPALI
A metal scene that has Dave Mustaine rejecting bands from his tour for being too evil and bands with sentence long names that are more concerned with the number of notes and rhythm changes they can fit into a “song”.
A hardcore scene that seems to have lost all of its revolutionary vigor and DIY energy, bands from back in the day who just reform for the simple cause of avoiding work at Mc Donald’s and a banner of low life simpletons seeking unity and a soundtrack to their otherwise meaningless lives.
It is time for it to go back to the heart of the matter: MUSIC! Michiel and Thomas, who go as far back as high school, were in a band called Necrology together in their early teens. At that time, Michiel went on to become a renowned deathmetal guitarist/vocalist in bands such as Necrology, KST and Cardinal. Thomas moved on to be part of the then huge Dutch hardcore scene booking shows and playing with bands such as Man’s End, Standard and Sumo.
Now, over a decade since they last wrote together, Michiel and Thomas have found chemistry between them that allows for songwriting that incorporates metal’s darkness and musicianship with hardcore’s aggression and focus. Metalcore in its original form.
Fuck the scene, Fuck being true, we’re here for the music, just the music. Bleed bitch, bleed!
