Norwegian trio Deathcrush return with something a little more accessible (following a limited Flexi Disc release accompanied by its very own Deathcrush magazine) in the recognisable shape of a 12" coloured maxi vinyl!
After recording with Billy Anderson (Swans, Melvins) and Jørgen Træen (Datarock, Annie), songs for their much-anticipated series of singles are now in the mixing hands of the band's own Linn Nystadnes. The four-track release, out via Norway Rat/Believe Distribution on October 7, again showcases the ferocity and energy the band pack. Opening with “Lesson #3 for Gina Kikoine / You Now” which can only be described as a hefty slice of metal-pop you’d expect from a Sleigh Bells/ The Fall get-together!
The epic five and a half minute Double A-side “Lesson #4 for Wharton Tiers/Strauss” takes the band even deeper into metal territory but retains the accessibility for all noise-inclined worshippers.
Over on the B-side, “Lesson #13 for Nanker Phelge / Fire”, Linn Nystadnes spits the lyrics with the intensity of a snake charmer and as a surprise treat, Mau5trap-signed newcomer James Njie serves up a shameless, dance floor filling remix of the same track.
Deathcrush is: Linn Nystadnes – vocals/guitar, Åse Røyset – vocals/bass, Vidar Evensen – vocals/drums
The girls head to the UK next month to play the following:
09th October – The Old Blue Last, London
10th October – Rock City, Nottingham
11th October – Club NME, Koko, London
12th October – Lennon’s, Southampton
