Bands to Watch - Silence of a Silhouette

Band to Watch - Silence of a Silhouette
By Kimberly Wolford

Cleveland, Ohio has always been associated with greatness: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Drew Carey, Lebron James and the list just goes on. Well, chalk up another tally for Cleveland with the alternative rock quintet Silence of a Silhouette. The band has already made quite a splash on Myspace and even performed on the Ernie Ball stage at the Vans’ Warped Tour this year.

Andy (lead guitar), Jeff H (guitar/keyboards/backup vocals), Jeff K (drums), Justin (bass) and vocalist Danny make up the lineup for this up and coming rock sensation. The guys have each separately thought about being professional musicians, but it wasn’t until they were all together that they decided to make their dream become a reality. I, along with legions of dedicated fans, think that was a very good decision. Silence of a Silhouette. Hmmm… now that’s an interesting name. According to guitarist Andy, Jeff and Danny are the creators of the name, “Well Dan and Jeff were reading a book and in the book it said Ashes of a Silhouette and for some reason Dan thought instead of ashes it should be silence.” That name has since stuck but fans know them better as simply “S-O-S.”

Cleveland is not just the home base for this band. The guys actually love to play there too. With so many choices of venues, who wouldn’t want to play in Cleveland? Notable places for Silence of a Silhouette include the Agora Ballroom and the Grog Shop. Silence of a Silhouette also just finished a partial tour with the Vans’ Warped Tour this summer. They had the opportunity of playing on the Ernie Ball stage and experienced a taste of what is soon to be their future.

The music of Silence of a Silhouette is characterized by driving guitar riffs and memorable beats. “Pandora’s Box” being a key example of this. “…Pandora is actually our favorite to play normally it’s got that catchy beat to it and when it gets into that breakdown I just go crazy…” says Andy. But don’t get to thinking that Silence of a Silhouette is just like any other budding rock band out there; the guys signed with a management group in 2007, which changed a lot for the group. Andy says, “It [things] changed drastically. Although our contract just ended, the time we were with them was awesome. Between getting awesome press, pictures, shows, and merchandise, we really expanded.” He goes on to add; “I think the main thing that separates us from anyone out there is our energetic stage performance. It’s almost like a war zone between us band mates when we get on stage. We are swinging guitars, microphones, stage diving, or some kind of crazy antic for the fans to enjoy”

Silence of a Silhouette’s new album Escaping Reality is available on iTunes, Amazon, and their own online merchandise store, which is accessible through their Myspace page: www.myspace.com All I can say is that the world better prepare themselves. Silence of a Silhouette is pumped and has a long and bright future ahead of them. Andy closed the interview with a few words for all the Silence of a Silhouette fans out there, “The one thing from the bottom of all our hearts is that we love our fans. If it wasn’t for them we would still be at step one.”

  • DARK FUNERAL

    +++1993+++
    Is when it all began when the mighty Lord Ahriman and Blackmoon (David Parland) founded the war machine we now know as DARK FUNERAL. They were later joined by Draugen and Themgoroth.

    +++1994+++
    The legendary, self-titled and self-financed, mini-cd is recorded at Dan Swanos Uni-Sound studio in January. It is released on May 4th to an unsuspecting world. And on that very same day, the band would have performed their very first gig at Luse Lottes Pub in Oslo NORWAY. After the recording sessions, Draugen (drums) leaves the band and is replaced by Equimanthorn.

    +++1995+++
    The band signs to No Fashion Records, which later turns out to be their biggest misstake yet, and start preparing songs for a full-length album. After a miserable attempt to record The Secrets Of The Black Arts at Uni-Sound studios (again with Dan Swano the band decides to relocate to Abyss Studio and re-record the entire album. In between the studio sessions a new song was written and added to the tracklist “When Angels Forever Die”. With engineer Peter Tagtgren (Hypocripsy) on board, the band finally gets the production they were looking for. Shortly after, DARK FUNERAL plays their first festival gig, Under The Black Sun I in Berlin. A few weeks prior to this gig Emperor Magus Caligula joins the band as vocalist and eventually becomes a permanent member. The band also shoots their very first video for the track “The Secrets Of The Black Arts” which is well received and played on music channels all over the world.

    +++1996+++
    January 28th the bands first full-length-album “The Secrets Of The Black Arts” is released upon the masses and the album is soon licensed to Metal Blade (North America) and Mystic Production (Poland). The line-up troubles which first saw vocalist Themgoroth and drummer Equimanthorn leave is soon elevated when co-founding member Blackmoon also leaves. Fortunatly they are more than compensated with the addition of Alzazmon (drums), Typhos (guitars) and Emperor Magus Caligula (vocals/bass). With the addition of Caligula (who most of you already knew as Masse Broberg, the original vocalist of Hypocrisy) DARK FUNERAL is brought to a new level of aggressivity and intensivity. Together with Necromass the band does the Satanic War Tour I throughout Europe. Also during 1996, the line-up of Emperor Magus Caligula, Lord Ahriman, Alzazmon and Blackmoon recorded their unholy version of Bathory’s “Call From The Grave” and “Equimanthorn” for the Bathory tribute, In Conspiracy With Satan. (These stunning cover tracks also appears later re-mastered for the re-titled re-release of the bands legendary debut “In The Signs…”.).

    +++1997+++
    The second leg of Satanic War Tour follows with Ancient and Bal Sagoth as support. Also, Dark Funeral plays their very first show in America at the Expo Of The Extreme festival in Chicago. After totally desecrating the unsuspecting American audience with their blasphemous stage show complete with impaled pigs heads on upside down crosses matched with the unholy members drenched in pigs blood and finishing the set off with Emperor Magus Caligula’s firebreathing. From there the band embarks on the “The American Satanic Crusade Tour” with Usurper in support. Originally the tour was supposed to also feature Acheron and Destroyer 666, but after too many hassles, both bands had to cancel. In September, the road dogs return to the Abyss studio to record “Vobiscum Satanas”. Ultra-raw and hyper-fast the unholy duo Ahriman/Caligula have delivered a record that even the last sceptics have to admit that DARK FUNERAL are spearheading Swedish black metal together with Marduk.

    +++1998+++
    The Ineffable Kings Of Darkness Tour with Enthroned and Liar Of Golgotha takes place with Dominion coming into the band as a session bass player. The band also does their second major festival appearance at the Swedish Hultsfreds festival. After the festival, Thyphos is kicked out and Dominion, (who originally was a guitarist), is taken on as the bands second guitarist and Caligula reverts back to doing both vocals and bass. Before the band heads out on the “Bleed For Satan” tour, with Cannibal Corpse and Infernal Majesty, Alzazmon (drums) leaves and the bands long time friend Gaahnfaust is being added to the line-up. (He was also in DARK FUNERAL back in 1996 for a short time.)

    +++1999+++
    DARK FUNERAL return overseas for another mini-tour “Black Plague Across The West” which finds the band invading, then destroying Mexico for the first time before they head north and lay to waste to the state of California. Afterwards they also embark on their longest and most successful European tour “The Satanic Inquisition” together with Dimmu Borgir.

    +++2000+++
    With engineer Tommy Tagtgren DARK FUNERAL record the EP “Teach The Children To Worship Satan” at the Abyss studio B (featuring the new song “An Apprentice Of Satan” and cover-versions from Slayer, Mayhem, Sodom and King Diamond). For the EP, the band also film a live video for “An Apprentice Of Satan”. DARK FUNERAL join Deicide, Immortal and Cannibal Corpse for the No Mercy festivals. After the departure of Gaahnfaust, Matte Modin (Defleshed) joins the band as a permanent member and makes his debut at the With Full Force festival. With Matte DARK FUNERAL becomes even faster and tighter. Wacken Open Air is added to the band’s enormous gig-list; even a chaotic Canadian/American tour is coming to a good end. Dominion and Caligula work on their logically titled side-project Dominon Caligula while Lord Ahriman, with members of Acheron, Incantation and The Electric Hellfire Club, form Wolfen Society. Due to popular demand for the first EP, DARK FUNERAL re-releases the landmark work complete with new a new cover and never before published photos, giving the fans a true taste of the history of the band.

    +++2001+++
    In January/February the band again enter Abyss Studio to record their third (and long awaited) full-length album. The new album “Diabolis Interium.” With the help of producer Peter Tagtgren and studio technician Lars Soke, DARK FUNERAL created the MASTERPIECE of their recording career thus far, a record which will surely be considered a mile-stone in the evolution of black metal in the future. Beside the usual highspeed-songs, DARK FUNERAL shows a new side, slowing down for “Goddess Of Sodomy”. An Apprentice Of Satan, already known from the last EP, was reworked for “Diabolis Interium.” Other highlights of the CD are “Armageddon Finally Comes” and the brutal opener “The Arrival Of Satans Empire” (which most would agree is THE crown jewel of the Dark Funeral catalogue). “Diabolis Interium” is an absolute MUST for every serious metal-collection, not only black metal fanatics!

    Due to the overwhelming positive response of “Diabolis Interium” from the public and the press, DARK FUNERAL were able to secure deals that brought their music across to a much wider audience with licenses in Japan (Soundholic Co.Ltd), Brazil (Hellion Records), Poland (Mystic Productions), Romania (Rocris Disc), Bulgaria (Rocris Disc), Thailand (S.Stack Co. Ltd), Russia (Irond Records Ltd), Taiwan, Hong Kong & China (Magnus Music). With the exceptional response to the album in Brazil which was released through Hellion Records, another local label, Somber Records licenses the band’s entire back catalogue.

    As soon as “Diabolis Interium” hit the streets, DARK FUNERAL once again hit the road. First they toured Europe, supported by Tidfall (NO), Anorexia Nervosa (FR) and Ragnarok (NO). On this tour the band brought in Mikael Hedlund (Hypocrisy) to play the bass. After this tour Mikael resumed duties with his main band. DARK FUNERAL recruited Richard Cabeza for the session bassist slot. The band also toured the US, supporting their long time friends Cannibal Corpse. With “Diabolis Interium”, the Swedish radio station ROCKET 95.3 FM nominated DARK FUNERAL in the category “Best Swedish Hardrock Band”. Other bands nominated at the same time and in the same category were Breach, Entombed and Arise.

    +++2002+++
    In October 2002 the band made their very first tour in the Far East. The tour included shows in Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. The band was the very first western extreme metal band to play Taiwan and Singapore. DARK FUNERAL received a warm welcome by the Asian crowd, who not only understood their brand of dark and majestic music, but also the essence of the band itself.

    November 29th 2002, DARK FUNERALand MNW/No Fashion Records announced that effective IMMEDIATELY they were no longer contractually bound to Necropolis Records, who had licensed the bands 2001 masterpiece “Diabolis Interium” for North America. Official Termination of contract papers had already been delivered to Necropolis Records, putting an official end of DARK FUNERAL’s tenure with said record label. This was a result of Necropolis’ deliberate breach of contract with the band and label. DARK FUNERAL has since put this unfortunate incident behind them and begun moving on with the future.

    After the Asian tour, guitarist Dominion felt that he could not give 100% to DARK FUNERAL and felt it was in everyones best interest to resign his position. He had felt his lack of motivation to dedicate himself to a full-time touring band was not fair to the band, and also wanted to explore other musical options. Dominion officially resigned upon their completion of the Asian tour. Dominion is and will always be regarded as a very good and close comrade and brother to the band.

    +++2003+++
    After the Asian tour, the band begin auditioning guitarists to replace the departed Dominion. A new guitarist was found in the form of Chaq Mol, who has a long history in different local Metal acts. He is also in the two man Doom/Black Metal project Mordichrist. He made his official debut with the band at Wacken Open Air 2003.

    After a successful gig at the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany the band headed down to South America for a tour through Brazil, Chile and Columbia. This tour became one of the most successful tours ever undertaken by the band. During the tour the band recorded a couple of the shows with plans to release it as a live album! After sifting through the recorded material with their live sound engineer (Erik Lidbom, Hitfire Productions), “De Profundis Clamavi Ad Te Domine”; was born.

    +++2004+++

    DARK FUNERAL began the year by officially announcing their split from long time label MNW/No Fashion Records. Shortly after, the band signed a license deal with Regain Records for their amazing new live album “De Profundis Clamavi Ad Te Domine”. It was licensed to several other countries. On May 31st, 2005 it also finds its long awaited release in the US through Candlelight USA.

    In January of 2004 the band partnered with Goatwhore (US) and Zyklon (NO) in Japan on the Extreme The Dojo Volume 9. Shortly after the band continue to tour with a spate of Mexican dates. A few festivals are also being executed, Spanish Piorno Rock (w/ Sepultura, Saxon, Destruction, Lacuna Coil among others), Finnish Tuska and X-Mass Festivals. The band appears as the headline act at Germanys Party San, Swedish Nordic Rage and LA:s Gathering Of The Bestial Legions Festival. The band also hit Italy together with Defleshed for a short, but extremely successful burst of dates. In December 2004 DARK FUNERAL then resumed touring by first playing Israel and then hitting Russia and Ukraine for the Black Winter Days Tour, together with Horned NecroCannibals and Icewind Blast.

    +++2005+++
    On January 20th 2005, DARK FUNERAL signed a new record deal with Regain Records. The band concentrates on writing material for a new full-length album yet still manage to perform at the Metal Mind Festival in Poland before finally joining the No Mercy Tour with Six Feet Under, Nile, Dying Fetus among others.

    On May 23rd the band finally entered Dug Out Studios together with producer Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames, Strapping Young Lad, Behemoth a.s.o.) and Orjan Ornkloo (Misery Loves CO) to begin work on their new, long awaited full-length album. This, which will be Dark Funeral’s 4th full-length studio album is also their most eagerly anticipated recording in their now decade-long career. The band brings in Gustaf Hielm (ex Messhuggha) to play the bass on the record. On August 18th Dark Funeral’s new Masterpiece “Attera Totus Sanctus” was completed! Raw, fierce, and evil, Attera Totus Sanctus will rightly reclaim the unholy bands title at the top of black metals premiere elite.The release date is set for October 24th via Regain Records in Europe and November 29th via Candlelight in the USA. Further on the album will also be released in Japan on December 21th via Soundholic Ltd and in Brazil on (TBA) via Hellion Records.

    Its not very often a Black Metal band hits the charts, but on November 2nd, 2006 Dark Funerals new masterpiece “Attera Totus Sanctus” entered the Swedish top 40 as Nr 35 and the Swedish Heavy Metal chart as Nr 3.

    In November Dark Funeral begun working with Dragon Production, which is a division of A.S.S. Concert & Promotion GmbH. Dragon Production will handle the bands tour bookings in Europe.

    all:my:faults

    all:my:faultsA:M:F - SecretsDo you want to support a:m:f?Please tell all your friends about this offer and give them the link to the webpage of all:my:faults and if you have an own home- or myspace page you can link to us.

    Help to spread the word and our music :)

    You can find the release, all songs as single download and the free version here: “Secrets”

    Releasedate: 17.02.2006 www.allmyfaults.info
    all:my:faults was originally founded in zwingenberg, germany, on march 13th,
    2003 by steve:becker who had just left his old alternative band where he sang
    and played bass. he always had ideas that didn’t quite fit in an alternative
    combo and after he had left, he began writing more of his own music and
    performed alone in some local clubs.
    despite not having too much success with his former band, a:m:f pressed forward
    more than expected, yet steve:becker didn’t want to play gigs just on his own
    using tapes for everything but vocals and guitars, so he concentrated on the
    songwriting and waited for the right live musicians to launch a:m:f as live act.
    he released some press demos, continued writing songs and performing them on his
    own at private shows. going new musical ways, atmosphaeric, conterintuitive-melancholic
    with earwick-melodies and roots in goth-pop and darkwave he delivered all
    qualities of a resounding success, decorated with modern keyboard-elements and
    driving guitar-sounds.
    with “your anniversary” the first official release of a song on the
    newcomer-sampler “return to light vol. 01″ came out under the label bright light
    records in march 2004 and another press release called ‘euthanasia: memento mori’
    followed shortly after.

    fast forward to winter 2004. after beeing asked to play some gigs in german
    clubs and some in luxembourg, steve:becker finally found two fellows to work
    with for the live performances as session musicians. danny:riedner (ex
    black.in.mind, angerecton & mechanical moth) delivered the live guitars and
    ethan:kemp (ton sur ton) played keys and supported steve:beckers voice with
    backing vocals. thomas th (th-industry)
    joined the live lineup to arrange the synths and more keyboards at several shows
    and is up to now a:m:f session musician and good friend of the band.
    well, back to winter 2004. it seemed like steve, danny and ethan matched
    perfectly, so they decided to create the future of all:my:faults together. a
    month later jonas:greene (ex byrons forgotten feast [los angeles] and ex
    angerecton) was hired for additional vocals and keys to complete the live lineup
    for now. danny and jonas already worked together as bandmates of the deathmetal
    act angerecton (rip) so it was not much of a surprise that the new supplement
    was very well from the first moment on. all:my:faults played a few gigs in
    germany, some announced, some not, and the response was amazing. juiced by an
    overwhelming fan response after the last live gig they played and a wealth of
    ideas for new material the band decided to concentrate even more on their future
    success. steve expanded his studio in zwingenberg to increase the quality of the
    newest production and danny and jonas left angerecton to fully concentrate on
    all:my:faults.
    only few weeks later it showed up, that the line up wasn‚t so perfect and in
    april 2005 the band parted ways with ethan:kemp due to his lack of motivation.
    steve, danny and jonas began a creative marathon of writing songs and lyrics for
    their upcoming promo, working on their live performance and creating demanding
    artworks to support the bands appearance and image.

    after two years of working alone steve:becker finally found two guys who where
    willing to play a major role in the band he created. danny:riedner wrote new,
    demanding guitars on all existing all:my:faults songs and the bands style went
    in a slightly harder direction with more rock and metal influences and
    jonas:greene who already designed artworks for bright-light-records and bands
    from many different genres served a brandnew logo and created a new look for the
    band’s releases and homepage.
    a great surprise none expected was martin:wickler aka sathonys (agathodaimon),
    who decided to join the a:m:f lineup as guitarist and additional singer after a
    few rehearsals in july 2005. his musical ability and his long-time experience
    with different well known bands and magazines are of huge value for
    all:my:faults and with him, new influences supplement the stylistic variety of
    new songs again.
    the digestion of very personal feelings of steve:becker are still one of the
    main aspects for the lyrics to deal with and his great new ideas for songs
    surprise the band and the audience again and again. new lyrical influences by
    jonas:greene (’fallen’,'don’t forget your valentine’ etc) and the new lead and
    rhythm guitars, written and played by danny:riedner and martin:wickler can be
    heard on the 2005 a:m:f recordings.

    all:my:faults’s official e.p. “anger manifest” will be recorded between july and
    october 2005 and released by the end of 2005. new live gigs are planned to
    promote this upcoming release”

    lujhboia (quickfire)

    LujhboiaTELL US ABOUT YOUR BAND (members, shows, whatever you feel you want to
    say, NO PRESSURE):

    Lujhboia was born back in 2004. His creator and leader Rodrigo Demencia
    Santamaria wanted to get out his dark feelings from his mind and make
    them music.
    In depth, every song is nourished by aggressive tunes, distorted, torn
    voices, furious sounds and piano and keyboards extremely dark. The
    variety of shades, changes and structures of the tunes led the project
    into a series of good reviews from Dark and Electronic music specialized
    media, among others.

    WHERE WERE YOU FROM?

    Argentina.

    WHERE HAVE YOU PERFORMED? (IF APPLICABLE)
    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    HOW DID YOU GET INTO MUSIC? (WHERE WERE YOU? )

    Since i was a kid, i have passion for music, it´s the only way i have
    to express my anger and my weakness, although in real life i´m a very
    calm person hehe.

    WHAT WERE YOU DOING? HOW OLD WERE YOU?)
    I started at 15 in different gothic and classic metal bands, then I
    realized the potential that electronic music has. I found in it an
    interesting way to continue expressing myself.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK IS DISTINCT ABOUT YOUR STYLE?
    Extreme aggression and the constant changes of climax.


    IF YOU HAD ONE THING TO SAY ABOUT MUSIC, FOR LOVE OR PHILOSOPHY OR
    LEARNING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? NO PRESSURE.

    Music is a wonderful therapy…. Not only for the composers, also for
    the people who can feel it.

    I hope you enjoy them,
    Thanks for your support!

    theSTART

    theSTART

    theSTART will release their third full length album “CIAO, BABY” in stores and online JUNE 5, 2007 on Metropolis Records.

    “Written over the span of almost two years, the album( INITIATION ) bruises the Technicolor hooks of SHAKEDOWN! with doses of shoegazing dreaminess and Cure-esque moods. Keyboards swirl like a hyperventilating kiss: guitars throttle songs black and blue;beats that sound plucked from your local watering hole’s goth night. Nevertheless, Initiation will still apeal to all facets of the START’s fanbase, boys in eyeliner,crusty hardcore lifers,palefaces hidng from the sun, new-wave obsessives and synthpunks.” - Alternative Press .195

    Aimee Echo and Jamie Miller formed theSTART in the Fall of 1998, citing a mutual love of dark wave, dance music and art rock. The prophetic nature of their name revealed itself quickly as they would be among the first of the crop of the new New Wave, alongside bands like the Faint and Le Tigre.Renown for delivering a raucous live set, they’ve shared stages with a variety of bands, ranging from Alt-Rock scenesters (Garbage, The International Noise Conspiracy, Cave IN, John Frusciante, Weezer, Melissa Auf der Maur, Sparta, Burning Brides, The Von Bondies, Team Sleep, Head Automatica) to punk rock royalty ( Alkaline Trio, AFI, Hot Water Music, Offspring) to Goddess-fronted rock ( X’s Exene Cervenka, Berlin, and Bow Wow Wow)..

    Aimee Echo and Jamie Miller formed theSTART in the Fall of 1998, citing a mutual love of old-school new wave, dance-punk energy and dark pop, with bassist Jeff Jaeger and drummer Scott Ellis(Mellowdrone). The prophetic nature of their name revealed itself quickly as they would be among the first of the crop of the new New Wave, alongside bands like the Faint and Le Tigre. It wasn’t long before the band practically owned the L.A. club scene and were offered a deal with The Label, a Geffen-distributed imprint overseen by the Firm. The band’s first album, Shakedown!, recorded in 1999, shelved in 2000 and finally released in 2001, was loaded with earworm-generating pop hooks, Echo’s admirable vocal prowess and Miller’s six-stringed slamming and synthetic smoldering circuitry. In 2001 and well ahead of it’s time, Shakedown! was a rosebush trying to bloom in a manure field of nu-metal and date-rape rock.

    Upon returning home from life on the road in support of their debut and shortly after the world-altering events of September 2001, the band were informed that The Label was shutting down. Undaunted and in service to their music, Echo and Miller bought a van so they could continue their rockin’ crusade. However, drummer Ellis decided he didn’t want to ride in it, and departed.
    The following year, the band ponied up $800 and some change and recorded Death Via Satellite, six tracks of raw-pop power, that retained all of the melodic aspects of Shakedown!, with the kind of mania usually found in people who abuse diet pills and asthma inhalers. The band moved forward, their masters in hand, pressed, and sold the disc themselves on the road. After a year of heavy touring, Jaeger got married, started his own painting business and Aimee and Jamie bid him adieu.

    It was during their stint on the 2002 Warped Tour that a member of Nitro Record’s shadow government caught theSTART’s set and was so significantly blown away that he offered them a deal. Nitro reissued Death Via Satellite to sate the band’s fanbase until the release of the next album.

    For much of 2003, Echo and Miller were playing with pickup rhythm sections poached from friends’ bands. One night in San Antonio, Texas, Erick Sanger (bassist from Kissing Chaos and an original member of Sparta) approached Echo, professing his love for her band and offering his services should they ever need a low-end merchant. This came just as Miller and Echo were in the process of firing their pickup four-stringer of-the-moment. The next day, Sanger called Echo announcing, “My band broke up last night, can I play in yours?” Miller and Echo finally found the revving engine to drive their tunes.

    With their lineup finalized and a batch of new songs ready to go, theSTART began work in February of 2004 on Initiation, their debut for Nitro Records.(Initiation released 8/24- it’s out now go get one!) Miller and Brian Virtue (Jane’s Addiction, Audioslave, Deftones) oversaw the production of what would become 12 shots of noise-pop, blissed-out fatalism and flailing rock abandon. Crackling with dynamics, energy and atmospherics, Initiation is a rocket ride of styles and shape-shifting songs that adequately display the breadth of the band’s capabilities. TheSTART aren’t trying to be clever; they’re simply doing whatever the fuck they want to do.

    “I do think people like the certain boxes they put themselves into,” says Miller. “The whole ‘I listen to just this’ kind of thing. We’d get bored with 13 tracks of the same thing. We do our own thing, and damn the consequences. Really, we should’ve named the album, We’re Fucking Stubborn.”

    Ah, but stubbornness has rarely sounded this ambitious. The pulsing, urgent opener “Like Days” charges confidently like a home invasion, but it’s undercut by Echo’s unhinged vocal that’s part sociopath, part suicide-hotline caller. The deceptively cheery “Life Is Sweet” is a bouncy pop number that swings, until you listen closely to Echo’s story of a dysfunctional relationship (Aimee describes it as “equanimity through suffering”). By its title alone, “Peacocks” could be misconstrued as a saccharine love song, but in reality, it’s theSTART’s battle anthem, anchored by Echo’s vicious mantra, “We Will Rise!” On Initiation, pop sensibilities are smeared with blood and dirt, camouflaging other motives. Clearly, Echo is not going to come along - or go away - quietly.

    Expect the same kind of conviction displayed on Initiation to manifest itself when theSTART get in the van and throw it down in front of an audience. Renown for delivering a raucous live set more so now, than ever, with the heavy hitting Frank Zummo on drums.
