Gastbeitrag von Amebix's "Stig" Miller bestätigt!
Die nicht totzukriegenden Sludge-Metaller SOURVEIN vom Cape Fear verschanzen sich momentan im SSP Studio in Raleigh, North Carolina, mit Corrosion Of Conformitys Bassist/Sänger Mike Dean am Pult, um ihr nächstes Werk "Aquatic Occult" fertigzustellen. Das Album, das dieses Jahr über Metal Blade Records erscheinen wird, wartet bei zwei Songs mit einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen SOURVEIN Mainman Troy "T-Roy" Medlin und Chris "Stig" Miller, dem Gitarristen der britischen Crust-Punk-Ikonen Amebix, auf. Weitere Einzelheiten gibt's in den nächsten Wochen zu vermelden.
SOURVEIN spielen seit 20 Jahren verzerrten, kaputten und erbarmungslosen Doom. Ihr verharzter Klangwust ergibt sich aus giftigen Riffs, Grooves und genau dem richtigen Quäntchen Psychedelia. Zur angemessenen Feier der Veröffentlichung, aber auch in Gedenken an zwei oft turbulente Jahrzehnte, ließ sich SOURVEIN-Mainman Troy "T-Roy" Medlin kürzlich von Freund und Musikerkollege Randy Blythe von Lamb Of God interviewen, der auch die neue Biografie der Band schrieb. Der Text führt Unbedarfte grüdlich in die Materie SOURVEIN ein.
"Diese Scheibe wollte ich machen, als ich in diesen Wohnheimen hauste und nicht konnte.", schildert er. "Ich litt unter zu schweren Schmerzen und ließ mich eine Zeitlang gehen, verfiel dem Party-Alltag und versuchte, mich mit Alkohol zu betäuben, aber echte Kerle müssen Qualen aushalten. Es gibt mehr im Leben, als dass man sich zudröhnen müsste." Wird es darum auch auf "Aquatic Occult" gehen - um Qualen? "Ich werde mit der Wahrheit aus dem Quark kommen. Diese Texte beschreiben meine Wirklichkeit; ich labere nicht über Autos, Bräute oder verdammte Horrorfilme, sondern darüber, wie ich mir die Nase breche und über meine Erlebnisse im Lauf der Jahre bis jetzt. Trotzdem will ich positiv bleiben, damit die Leute begreifen, dass es einen Ausweg gibt, auch in schlechten Zeiten und haarigen Situationen. Ich bin der lebende Beweis dafür."
Long-running Cape Fear sludge saviors, SOURVEIN, are currently holed-up at SSP Studio in Raleigh, North Carolina with Corrosion Of Conformity bassist/vocalist Mike Dean at the recording helm tracking their forthcoming new full-length, "Aquatic Occult". Slated for release later this year via Metal Blade Records, the long player will include a two-track collaboration between SOURVEIN mainman, Troy "T-Roy" Medlin, and guitarist "Stig" Miller of UK crust punk icons Amebix.
SOURVEIN has existed through two decades of distortion, damage and relentless doom, their resin-coated carnage made of toxic riffs, grooves and just the right amount of psychedelic appeal. In properly commemorating the release as well as chronicling twenty often-times tumultuous years as a band, SOURVEIN mainman, Troy "T-Roy" Medlin, was recently interviewed by friend and fellow musician, Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God, who penned the band's new biography. The text will serve as a thorough SOURVEIN introduction for the uninitiated.
"Finally, man. Finally," T-Roy relays in an excerpt from the text. "It's the record I wanted to make when I was in those rooming houses, but I couldn't. There was too much pain, so I got lost for bit, falling back into the party life and trying to numb myself with alcohol. But motherfuckers need to feel the pain. There is more to life than numbing yourself." Is that what Aquatic Occult will be about, bringing the pain? "I'm going to bring the truth. The lyrics are reality to me; I don't write about cars or chicks or fucking horror movies, I write about getting my nose fucking broken, all the stuff I saw growing up and now. But I want it to be positive, to let people know that there is a way out of bad times and tough situations. I'm living proof."
Stay tuned for further SOURVEIN transmissions including studio updates and live actions.
