Rising Interview

1. Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?

A lot of things has happened within the last six months. I'll give you the short version. We recorded our second album “Abominor” and just after finishing it the other two members left. We've had a year of severe disagreement, but we managed to do this final album together, and despite of the disagreements, I think it came out really good. The demise was off course a blow to the band and me personally. In July just some weeks after the split I decided to carry on with a new line-up. I write most of the music and is practically managing us anyway, so why stop this thing, that I have been working hard on the last five years? As the first one, I contacted our original drummer Martin Niemann, and he was all in. The last couple of months we've been jamming new stuff, and it's really awesome playing  with him again, and we're looking for other new members to finalize the line-up. So kind of a weird situation having finished an album, suddenly no band, and then all of a sudden writing the next one with, while preparing for the release of an album with the now demised line-up. But it's all good, and Rising is heading the right direction,

2. How would you describe the musical sound of the new album and how it differs from previous releases?

“Abominor” is a faster, more raw sounding and aggressive album. The songs are more straightforward and there's no epics as on the first one. The vocals are less melodic, more growling and cold, and the guitar works incorporates a lot of noise and chord work as opposed to only riffs. Still there's riffs all over the place , and it's unmistakenly Rising.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the new release/

This was our singers department, so quoting from our bio:  Thematically “Abominor” departs from the band's first album by addressing multiple subjects of darkness, grief and violence. More

personal and earthbound than previously, the lyrics depict the frail nature of man; the

cowardice and the valor, the hope and the despair that sets the stage for man's interaction

and his place in the natural (dis)order.

4. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Rising?

We wanted something primal, something describing the forces and structures behind life. Rising is tapping into those energies, powers and changes that rules the universe and also affects human life in a basic, underlying fashion.

5. What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?

Actually a couple of our festival shows has been the best, fx at Roskilde Festival in 2010. But also some of the small club shows in Europe has been intense. Our performance is energetic and direct. Not much talk, but lots of sweat and headbanging. It's a metal show.

6. Do you have any touring or show plans for the new release/

No. As a direct consequence of the break-up with the former members, we can't and don't even want to play shows in support of the album. This album is kind of an end to an era, and what I and  Martin, the drummer, is focusing on now is the future, new songs and a new line-up. We might perform some of the songs one day, but we wont be playing live until late next year. We do love to play live, so we want to get out there asap, but I guess we need to hold our breath for some time though.

7. The new album came out on your own label, can you tell us a little bit more about the label you have started?

Forming a label in an idea – maybe an unoriginal idea, but still an idea – that a good friend of mine and I have had for some time. We've both worked or are still working professionally on bigger labels, been playing music for ages and have some experience doing this for 20+ years. Kind of a hard earned knowledge of what-to-do and what-not-to-do. And we've just been talking about doing some records with good bands, giving good music a home and a place to grow from. And when all the Rising drama occurred, I thought, instead of shopping the album with no band to back it live, we might as well put it out ourselves and get this label thing going. So “Abominor” is our first release, and I do think it's a pretty good start, hehe. As to what we're going to release, we don't wanna limit ourselves. Our background is metal, but we can put out any kind of music, as long as it's good according to our tastes.

8. on a worldwide level how has the feedback been to the newer music by fans of extreme music?

I think we've gotten a lot of positive feedback from both media and music fans. We're still a small band , but the people buying out records and attending the shows are very much into it. It's a thing which is common within metal music and heavy stuff all around, I think. People are really into the music itself and support it, and I feel the same way, I'm a fan, I buy records and go to shows. As opposed to mainstream music, where a lot of artists bleed due to bad sales etc, the dedication hasn't changed within extreme music, and it's great.

9.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases/

The new stuff we're writing is very dark, very aggressive and has of lot of eerie atmosphere going on. It's definitely very metal, even more than before and also on “Abominor”, and you can hear some death metal in the tonality and riffing, but still it has a lot of melody, hooks and first of all big riffs. Some songs are short, fast and to the point, some are more slow and epic in form. For me it's a further return to what I want Rising to be: Epic and huge sounding, yet still raw and direct, heavy, melodic, aggressive and disturbing. We aim to record the new mateial some time late next year.

10.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays/

I listen to a wide variety of music, but back in the day my first inspiration was heavy rock and heavy metal from the 70's and the 80's. That still remains the closest to my heart when talking heavy music. I've been very much into early death metal such as Autopsy, Morbid Angel, Carcass and Entombed, and that has influenced my playing and writing a lot. These days I find that a lot of the interesting extreme music is from The States, lot of good black, doom, sludge and HC stuff coming out of the US.  Spinning right now is the HOAX ep's, Early Graves, Baroness' Blue Record, Lord Mantis. And Captain Beyond, Stones and Neil Young, when talking oldies.

11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?

My family and friends foremost. Politics and society, but I find it to get me depressed more and more, as I get older, so I try to stay away from that. But really, my life really revolves around music – playing, writing, doing the label, doing PR for other bands, buying records, listening to records, going to shows, reading music biographies, nerding with friends about music etc etc. It never stops.

12.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?

Yeah, thanks for the interview and to you reading it, check out Rising and ”Abominor”, if you like heavy music. You might like, you might not, but either way, thanks for your time.

Cleanteeth Interview

1. For those that have never heard of you before can you tell us a little bit about the band?

We are artists that attempt to create what I believe is the most accessible music ever made, just so that we can really make a name for ourselves in the world of popular music. Or we are a bunch of dudes who like to play loud, noisy, soul shattering heavy music and don't care who approves.  

2.How would you describe your musical sound for those that have yet to hear the band?

There aren't a lot of bands we all collectively like, but you can definitely tell where the crossovers are.  That's really the best way to describe our sound -- by our more direct influences.  Godflesh, Neurosis, Harkonen, KARP and Jesus Lizard were probably the main ones we really came together on over the years.  And literally every time we go on tour, once a day James utters the phrase "DUUUUDE we should listen to Botch!".  So somewhere between those things -- we really like to hit hard with riffs and repetition, then get really abrasive and noisy, then occasionally a little melodic.  "Beard Impregnating Doom Metal" is probably the best description ever.

3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?

We go pretty much everywhere.  My favorite thing in the world to do is write lyrics that might resemble a series of dick jokes, but in actuality deals with very dark, personal issues that we have shared throughout the history of the band.  On this record, the most common themes are religion (I grew up in the South), drugs and addiction, mental illness, and NASCAR (I grew up in the South and James is a recovering Catholic).

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Cleanteeth?

It's like your mind's teeth and you're supposed to bite off a piece of the sonic doom wall and chew on it with your incisors until your teeth are worn down to nubs.  It's the spiritual experience that you get when you... okay nevermind, it was the best sounding name in a long list of nonsense.  

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?

We have played some really incredible shows with bands like Eyehategod, Weedeater, Kylesa, and tons of others but there is nothing better than playing with our friends from all over the country.  We always have the most fun with bands like Colossus (NC), the Ascent of Everest (TN), The Osedax (VA) or all the local bros like Sannhet, Meek Is Murder, and Godmaker.  On stage, we play way too loud and in between songs I constantly get yelled at for making fun of everyone at the show because I am a dick.

6. Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

Our record release show will be at the infamous Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn on October 13th, and we'll be in DC in early December with The Osedax. We will most likely be touring again in 2014, and I will start stabbing people if we don't play Roadburn soon.

7.The new album came out on Dullest Records, can you tell us a little bit more about this label?

This is a total DIY label run by a couple of guys named Danny and Luis outside of Philadelphia.  We met them on a tour with The Osedax and Danny's band Hollenlarm last year, and really loved them as people and their taste.  These are guys who just put out music that they want to put out, no bullshit attached.  It is super refreshing to meet people that are still putting out music without the concern of making money back, becuase god knows they won't see a dime on this one.

8. On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of doom metal?

People seem either very receptive to what we do, or very confused.  We are definitely a heavy band, but we sometimes don't fit in with the more "metal" shows.  Typically stoners seem to enjoy us, and I have no idea why.

9. What is going on with the other musical projects these days?

Kenny plays in another band called White Widows Pact and is also the drummer for Goes Cube.  James has an electronic side project called Ghost Tuxedo, and Drew has been dabbling with some very interesting new things as well.  I just launched a new Chicago/NYC record label called Gypsyblood with Steve from the Atlas Moth and my brother Rob that will be putting out a shitload of records in the coming months.

10. What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?

We already have some stuff written for an EP we plan to release in 2014.  Hopefully we could include some recordings of a few of the covers we've done more recently as well, because they are tons of fun to do.  We love playing heavy music, so we pretty much will keep trying to write songs that are heavier than the previous ones.

11.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you lsitening to nowadays?

We all listen to a lot of metal obviously, like I said -- Godflesh, Harkonen, Neurosis (the obvious ones).  We've all been very partial to the new KENMode, and Kowloon Walled City's newest record rules.  Sannhet's record is incredible.  I think my personal favorite albums so far this year are Faemin by Process of Guilt and Perils From The Sea by Mark Kozelek and Jimmy LaVelle.

12.Outside of music what are some of your interests?

I think we all pretty much work and play music.  Kenny works at a bar, Drew works like 3 jobs, and James is a tattoo artist/graphic designer/animator/everyman.  I run a web development company called Ashe Avenue that keeps me pretty busy.

13.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?

Everything is for you, Dale, #3, the Intimidator.  Never forget.

   ''Lord  Of  Illusion"  begins with  some   melodic  old  school  rock  guitar  riffs  and  drums  which  then  leads  to  the  riffing  adding  in  power  chords  which  lead  up  to  some  powerful  bass  guitars  and  vocals   and  after  awhile  guitar  solos  and  leads  start  coming  in  and  out  of  the  song.

  'Rollin'  The  Dice"  begins  with  some  melodic  guitar  riffs  and  leads  along  with  some  drums  and  then  the  bass  guitars  start  kicking  in  and  the  music  starts  getting  a  little  bit  heavier  and  this  song  is  all  instrumental.

  "Super  Kanpai  Rainbow"  begins  with  some  classical  guitars  which  utilize  some  finger  picking  and  then  some  dark,  melodic  and  heavy  guitar  riffing  makes  its  way  into  the  song  along  with  some  bass  and  drums  which  lead  up  to  some  aggressive  screams  and  melodic  vocals  and  half  way through  the  song  there  is  a  brief  use  of  blues  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads  being  utilized.

  Song  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  Occultism  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  dark,  old  school  and  professional  sound  to  it  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my opinion  Sons  Of  Hun  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  stoner  rock  and  doom  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Banishment  Ritual"  "Horror  In  Clay"  "Lord  Of  Illusion"  and  "Ouroboros".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
