Let's push things forward..
So things have been quite manic recently but it's all going well. Rolo Tomassi had a very cool interview, and a kinda weird review,in the latest issue of Rock Sound. Also, if you get hold of this issue via Tesco, it should come with a free sampler cd featuring a bunch of up and coming UK labels, including Holy Roar. We have a few copies of this also we should be getting our hands on soon, so if you want a copy give us a shout.
Phoenix Bodies might be coming over next year. We reeealllly want them to so we're trying to make it happen, we'll see as America is far away and getting them all to the UK is an expensive and hard work.
We have officially announced our next two releases. Using the marvels of ctrl+c and ctrl+v I can let you know these are...
"Chariots - the inner life ep - this is their final ever recordings, finally seeing the light of day. Better produced, more confident, heavier, more memorable and just 20x better than the album...this is an amazing swansong for this much underrated British band. The screamo comparisons and converge comparsions are completely redundant - this is huge, dark abrasive rock that should appeal to everyone who likes anything from Shikari to His Hero Is Gone to Circle Takes The Square to Yaphet Kotto.
Chronicles of Adam West - ep - after thinking that we had lost them to the land of metal, we found the Chronicles wanting to come back to the holy roar lair! Tech metal/rock that will appeal as much to fans of Psyopus and Meshuggah as it will to fans of Death Metal and even fans of rolo tomassi, the murder of rosa luxemburg etcetc. We are so excited about the future of this band....as their songwriting seems to be taking in elements of so many styles and making it completely and cohesively their own.
These should both see the light of day in feb/march 2007. We would rather take our time and do things properly than rush stuff and churn out shit.
...more to be annouced as it firms up. (whisper it - involvement with cutting pink with knives, upsilon acrux and more!)"
Rolo Tomassi head on tour as of this weekend, you can see all the dates and whatnot on our site and our myspace.
In other news, we both have both recently done reviews for the new issue of zero tolerance, which isn't actually out for a while. Alex has been practising again quite a bit with Seducedwomandead which is cool.
We saw Sunn and Leopard Leg at the Frieze Art fair thing, which was fun but a major pose fest. The Kylesa gig was equally banging also.
