Long-running
Cape Fear sludge saviors, SOURVEIN, are currently holed-up at SSP
Studio in Raleigh, North Carolina with Corrosion Of Conformity bassist/vocalist
Mike Dean at the recording helm tracking their forthcoming new full-length, Aquatic
Occult. Slated for release later this year via Metal Blade Records, the
long player will include a two-track collaboration between SOURVEIN mainman,
Troy "T-Roy" Medlin, and guitarist "Stig" Miller of UK
crust punk icons Amebix. Further details to be revealed in the weeks to come.
SOURVEIN has
existed through two decades of distortion, damage and relentless doom, their
resin-coated carnage made of toxic riffs, grooves and just the right amount of
psychedelic appeal. In properly commemorating the release as well as
chronicling twenty often-times tumultuous years as a band, Medlin was recently
interviewed by friend and fellow musician, Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God, who
penned the band's new biography. The text will serve as a thorough SOURVEIN introduction
for the uninitiated.
"Finally,
man. Finally," T-Roy relays in an excerpt from the text. "It's
the record I wanted to make when I was in those rooming houses, but I couldn't.
There was too much pain, so I got lost for bit, falling back into the party
life and trying to numb myself with alcohol. But motherfuckers need to feel the
pain. There is more to life than numbing yourself." Is that
what Aquatic Occult will be about, bringing the pain? "I'm going
to bring the truth. The lyrics are reality to me; I don't write about cars or
chicks or fucking horror movies, I write about getting my nose fucking broken,
all the stuff I saw growing up and now. But I want it to be positive, to let
people know that there is a way out of bad times and tough situations. I'm
living proof."
Stay
tuned for further SOURVEIN transmissions including studio
updates and live actions.
