BAND ART GAME: REMASTERED COLLECTION

Chmeľovec is a psychedelic death metal band from the Prešov Region of eastern Slovakia. Known for combining driving guitars distorted in drop D with the trippy sounds of the Theremin and Electric Sitar.

The third album since their start in 2002 has just been released, contained within is their explosive hit single Rollo Weeks, which had been released to underground success two months ago. The song's origins can be traced back to about a year's time when young british actor, Rollo Weeks, ate too many Kush Cupcakes, said to be the cause of Mr. Weeks devouring the face of a rabid fangirl.
"That shit was metal as fuck, maaaaaan." - Janov Demjata, lead vocals of Chmeľovec

Note: Mister Weeks was never formally charged.

Yep

Lampropeltis getula nitida was the first single, about how everyone from scientist to child sees something different in everything they look at, using the kingsnake as an example, each chorus changing varying slightly, but ending with the line, "What does the kingsnake see in you?"

National Bank of Austria is an alternative band with subtle existentialist messages in their music. This album is about how we create the world we live in rather than accepting the world as it presents itself.

Football In Occupied Poland is a German rock band that focuses on themes such as oppression and rebellion, drawing from Germany's occupation of various European nations during WWII. They specialize in heavy anthems that sound right at home in crowded open-air venues.

Their first single, Stigmella Glutinosae, is an instrumental piece inspired by the lifespan and development of the moth by the same name. The moth larvae burrow down into a host leaf much like the German army burrowed into foreign towns, and two generations of the moth are born every year, which the band felt symbolized the two or three generations that have been born since the end of the war.

Kumar Mahadeva - Health food makes me sick. - Mid 2000's House//Retrofunk Album. While Kumar Mahadeva surged into popularity in the late 90's by the mid 2000s the popularity of the band began to wane as the tastes of the artist diverged from his fanbase. What started as deeply meaningful, powerful house beats slowly devolved into a Tarantinoesque reversal to almost ubiquitous older 70's music loops, like a mixed tape for another artist.

Interview with singer/songwriter Matt Clancy, December 2014:
There has been much controversy of late over Matt Clancy's latest album, A Drunken Man is Happier than a Sober One. The cover depicts his ex-wife Ellen DePaul with their young children - but it was snapped without their knowledge, by Clancy from a cluster of bushes. "Those thorns, man," he says with a shake of his head. "They hurt almost as much as the knife she put in my back. ...Almost."
He sits across from me, his left hand - wedding ring on finger - sliding through his greasy, unwashed hair. He looks dishevelled, exhausted, miserable - but some say his suffering is insignificant compared to that of DePaul's, who in March of 2013 successfully took out a restraining order against Clancy after she submitted footage of him lurking outside her apartment building for three consecutive days. When I ask him about this, he throws his head back and a hearty laugh erupts from his throat. With no actual spoken answer, however, I can only guess that this rather unsolicited burst of mirth is another symptom of his mental and emotional decay.
The name of his solo venture, Hwanggeum-Dong, came to him after a, "...Mad, crazy, drunken, angry adventure," through Korea in 2012 when he was visiting a friend from college, in which he, "...punched trees, bickered with strangers and ate more Dakjuk than I thought possible." He can't remember why he decided to take on the title, and all I can be certain of is that he was very drunk when he decided to do it. "All of the songs - all written while I was hammered. Inspiration hits me in the form of whiskey."
The music is bitterly self-deprecating while also relentlessly critical of DePaul. Heavy guitar, mournful vocals and scathing lyrics are Clancy's hallmarks, and fans won't be disappointed. For example, DeA Kids (drunken spelling intact to communicate fully his despair), features Clancy sullenly describing DePaul's faults to their children. "I want them to know. I want them to know what she's done to me," murmurs Clancy. He is suddenly much more animated: "She's a heartless bitch!"
I end the interview there, as he grows more restless by the second. He apologises and shakes my hand, his sweaty grip making me cringe. When I look into his eyes, though, I see the blackened soul of a man on the edge. Ellen DePaul, you have my prayers.
