Dillinger Escape Plan-endorsed Swedes return with vicious new "Obeveklig" EP; new music video streaming now
Swedish band God Mother released their new EP, Obevklig on May 6th this year.
Obeveklig is Swedish for "relentless," and God Mother's approach on its new EP is indeed, relentless. The Stockholm four-piece barrels forth as if they have exhumed the most epic moments of Converge and The Dillinger Escape Plan, boiled them down and used them as rocket fuel. Obeveklig is God Mother's first new work to be released in almost 5 years and it is startlingly lean and mean – the sound of a chained dog released from its cage. The Dillinger Escape Plan founder/guitarist Ben Weinman, who released God Mother's 2017 album, Vilseledd, on his label, Party Smasher Inc, and who gave the band an opening slot on one of TDEP's final farewell shows in New York that year, delivered this endorsement: "After 20 years of touring the world and playing thousands of shows with thousands of bands, it is hard to impress me. But Sweden has done it again. God Mother is an undeniable 'force majeure' that demands attention like bands did in the old days, by just being that fucking good. Torch, officially passed!"
Puke Wolf release Interstice, an emotional exhuming of events unfolded over the last years Puke Wolf play emotional post-hardcore using their music to vent frustrations and aversions for our modern, heartless society. Hopefully the audience can and will partake too. They are a part of it whether it is on a stage or a record. It is indeed meant to be a cathartic experience. June 15 the band will release their second EP, Interstice, which means "a short space of time between events". The EP is the bands' reflection of things and events that have unfolded over the recent years, both on a global and very personal scale. The result is five tracks that span over almost 27 minutes. The lyrics cover everything from heart ache to global social injustice. The unrelenting vocals from the three band members range from brutal to shrill, while they all express anger, frustration and disappointment. The instrumental side mainly focus on the post-hardcore genre, but the band also incorporates field recordings and even ambient compositions to create a cohesive and emphatic experience. Interstice is released as a collaboration between the band and four labels. Puke Wolf have released one single, Hubris, while the next, Full of Heart, will be out June 3. Interstice was record by Jens Moss (Mossy Productions), mixed by Tobias Munk Tønder (Angry Music Studios), mastered by Will Killingsworth (Dead Air Studios).
