- Old Man Gloom is a supergroup (containing members of Converge, ISIS, Cave In, Zozobra,Doomriders, Mamiffer, etc.), but instead of making shitty records like other "supergroups", Old Man Gloom actually makes great ones.
- NO is an undeniably great title for an album, and also serves as an ironclad manifesto in opposition to the moral and aesthetic decay of our global society.
- This is Old Man Gloom's fifth album, their first after eight years. They weren't on hiatus, just busy writing the greatest album in music history. That makes them the proud progenitors of the f̶i̶v̶e̶ seven greatest albums of all time, NO being number one. NO is like "one", only spelled backwards and without the "E".
- Old Man Gloom are playing shows just in time for the collapse of the global economy.
- The acronym for Old Man Gloom is "OMG". "OMG" has become a household phrase since its introduction in to the popular lexicon in 1999, directly coinciding with the formation of Old Man Gloomthe year prior. The group has never been properly credited for this massively important contribution to global culture.
- NO was made using acoustic and electric instruments including but not limited to: sheet metal, toilets, human voices, guitars, drums, tambourines, shoes, hands, various other percussive tools, analog and digital electronic devices, and brains.
We are very happy to announce that we'll be handling the worldwide vinyl release of ENDON's immaculate masterpiece MAMA, originally released by Japan's Daymare Recordings. Set for release in Oct 2015, more details and preview tracks to follow.
Grindcore. Black metal. Harsh noise. Many fans of these genres tend to gravitate towards them because they push the boundaries of sound, testing our limits of how sonically extreme it is possible to go. And ENDON is fighting to lead the offensive.
Self-described “Catastrophic Noise Metal,” the Japanese quintet have harnessed the most severe aspects of the aforementioned genres to create something that is both wildly ambitious and viciously disturbing. Combining blast beats, tremolo riffing, destructive feedback and fascinating structures, the six songs contained on MAMA have all clearly come from the same warped id, yet are fulfilling and corrupted in singular ways.
Produced by Atsuo from experimental veterans Boris, MAMA is an album that looks for no easy exits. In roughly 40 minutes it swerves from cinematic atmospherics to the din of electronic havoc to near indecipherable bursts of chaos, all while vocalist Taichi Nagura howls, shrieks, growls and wails as if he's both the torturer and the victim.
But despite how challenging and anti-musical the band can be, there are occasional passages of beauty that showcase their careful, nuanced approach to songwriting, even if it is adorned with such great disgust and violence.
MAMA is ENDON's aural crusade for destruction at any cost. Be prepared and get ready to defend yourself.
