Arcata Eye :: The mildly objectionable weekly newspaper for Arcata…
Arcata Eye – Jul 24, 2007
Their latest opus Fex Urbis Lex rbis released in fall 2006 was lauded by rock critics and championed by record stores with exquisite taste. Don’t let the “black metal” label scare you off Ludicra’s poetic lyrics and literary outlook on urban alienation (the album title is a Victor Hugo quote) goes beyond what one would expect from the genre. Also of interest is the fact that Ludicra is one of few female-fronted black metal bands actually there are two women in this black metal quintet… Woodbox Gang Thursday JambalayaWoodbox Gang hails from the village of Makanda in southern Illinois where they developed their “caustic acoustic cacophony” in a little hollow called Vulture Valley. The five-member all-acoustic group skillfully combines the American roots music styles of bluegrass delta blues folk and old-school country with an aggressive delivery and punk sensibility to create their own style that they call “Trashcan Americana. ” Woodbox Gang plays Thursday July 28 at the Jambalaya.

Whereas their ’80s counterparts mailed home-dubbed cassettes out to a circuit of zine-writing pen pals these bands all stream (often downloadable) music on their MySpace pages. The movement’s flagship act if there is one is Fueled by Fire from Norwalk California. They’re signed to Metal Blade (the label that first presented Metallica and Slayer to the world) and their sound is pure ’80s mayhem: “Thrash Is Back” could be a lost Exodus track as vocalist Giovanni Herrera barks out a tribute to moshpit mayhem. Their debut CD Spread The Fire! rages full-on from the opening instrumental “Ernest Goes to Hell” to the closing “Put to Death” precise unrelenting and fast. The neo-thrash acts despite occasional sonic crudity outrace their forefathers with astonishing frequency—some of this stuff makes vintage Megadeth seem like mid-tempo balladry by comparison. After encountering similar bands like Infantry Malicious Assault Slaver Death Hunter Ubergehen Comando Nuclear Merciless Death Witchaven Violator and more I started sending e-mails trying to figure out just what had converted all these teenage and twentysomething Latinos to the music I was headbanging to in junior high. Infantry based in Hesperia California play in a primitive pummeling style clearly influenced by German bands like Sodom and Kreator as much as more technically accomplished American acts like Megadeth or Exodus… Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo [of Slayer; Araya is Chilean and Lombardo is Cuban] are two very good musicians that have been taken as role models for many people. Some people don’t even know at first that they are Latinos and when they find out they are proud that a Latino can pull off a good band. “There is also a big important reason why we try to make our music sound retro in style” he continues. “We want to make the scene revive to the old days to try and maintain the scene and to strengthen it so that it doesn’t die with time. 1 2 Next Page » Recent ArticlesMore by Phil FreemanCalle 13’s Bold Innovation VulgarityFive Founts of Ethereal Weirdness: ´lafur Arnalds Es Ville Leinonen and PaavoharjuThe Bug Gets Slightly Less ConcussiveBlack Stars: Ghana’s Hiplife GenerationFeaturing Ghana’s finest MCs from Kwaku-T to Batman SaminiEmerson Lake & Palmer: Prog Attacks!Hailing the oft-derided genius of these bloat-tastic motherfuckers.

Deftones overcome nu-metal label
Toronto Star – Jul 24, 2007
Ben Rayner Pop Music Critic The critical intelligentsia is notoriously unkind to heavy metal until hindsight demands a positive reappraisal. It’s part of their respective mythologies for instance that such rock luminaries as Black Sabbath Alice Cooper Judas Priest Mötley Crüe and Jane’s Addiction ? hell even Led Zeppelin the granddaddies of the genre ? were initially sneered at or ignored by the dominant tastemakers of the day. Even the Crüe’s "hair-metal" peers during the 1980s weren’t tarred with as uniformly damning a brush though as the acts saddled at the turn-of-the-millennium with the label "nu-metal. " Poison might have been rightfully scorned in its time as utter cheese but Korn and Limp Bizkit were essentially blamed in the press for starting the Woodstock ‘99 riots. That’s some serious hostility… That’s some serious hostility. Korn now gets belated credit at least for setting perfecting and then rethinking the ultimate nu-metal template. The best band of the crop though was the Deftones who top a daunting bill at this weekend’s Wakestock festival that frenzy of music of extreme sports on Centre Island. The crew of elementary-school chums from Sacramento came out hard in the early ’90s with a sound just a hair’s breadth too slow heavy and caustic to be then embraced alongside the not-dissimilar Smashing Pumpkins by the "alternative"-rock generation yet whose precise hardcore-gilded mood swings and contradictory weakness for Robert Smith-worthy swooning were nevertheless only as "metal" as their underpinning deep-end riffage cosmetically dictated. Indeed the Deftones are apparently so used to being waved off as "nu-metal survivors" that guitarist Stephen Carpenter can’t even receive a critic’s fond admission of fanhood without getting his back up. "I don’t know if it’s us not getting our due but we definitely get lumped into categories all the time that we would never consider ourselves to be part of" he says from a tour layover in Victoria. "I think we just get dismissed because we’re not commercially viable.
Suz rocks all with music move
Watton and Swaffham Times – Jul 24, 2007
It really was a complete turnabout. ?I’m learning as I go on – there are days when it’s really stressful and I’m in floods of tears because there is so much going on and I realise I have taken on too much. ?Given my age and the fact the music industry is male-driven I just didn’t expect people to take me so seriously. ?I had contacts through my love of metal and have found that a lot of business has come through word of mouth and people approaching me on MySpace. ?It’s been scary but great and this is an opportunity to be working with people that I worshipped when I was growing up. ?As well as Cilice Suz is currently working with bands in Wales and local outfits If Fire Would Fall from Norwich and Resume from Attleborough. Suz plans to improve her contacts in the business by moving to London this year before next year going to the Brighton Institute of Modern Music to study tour management.
