DEATHCONTROL "The Endless Echo Of His Own Litany" [CD]
2024 - Grindcore from Spain
Detailed Description
DEATHCONTROL was born from the joining of forces of J.M.Dopico and Avelino Saavedra. They are both from the city of La Coruña, in Galicia, Spain and have known each other since the early nineties, the golden age of Hardcore, Crossover, Grindcore, Thrash and Death Metal. In those days Dopi was the drummer for Frustradiccion and later for the legendary band Machetazo, while Avelino put his drumsticks at the service of the hardcore band Mol. Then each one went down different paths, although with the common points of both continuing in the most underground scene and rejecting the mainstream. Dopi remained faithful to the most putrid, distorted and extreme music, forming different projects such as Bodybag, Premature Burial or Leprophiliac, among others, while Avelino, after having played very different styles such as Jazz, Latin Jazz, African music, Rock of all kinds , etc , led to more "experimental" ways of making music, such as free improvisation, free Jazz, collaborations for dance and theater, etc, which are what he is currently focused on. Both had been talking for a long time about doing something together and from this mix of life experiences DEATHCONTROL emerged, a project conceived from a distance, since they both currently live on opposite ends of Spain. What they were clear about was that they wanted to make music with references to those bygone times, direct, aggressive music, with hardly any post-production, as natural and authentic as possible. Dopi recorded the guitars over click tracks, sent them to Avelino, who recorded the drums and in turn he sent them back so that the former could incorporate the bass and vocals. The result was six structured songs, with their corresponding lyrics, highly influenced by classic bands such as Terrorizer, Brutal Truth, D.R.I., The Accused... and five interludes of pure sick noise with an aftertaste of the craziest and most extreme passages of John Zorn's Naked City or Painkiller. Guitars, bass and vocals were recorded by Paco Liaño at Treboada studios, drums were recorded by Avelino at Onilewaland studios, where he was also in charge of the mixing. Mastering was carried out by the one and only Jason Fuller (ex-Blood Duster) at Goatsound studios in Australia. On the graphic side, Dopi was in charge of the logo design and layout, while Avelino created the interior illustrations and the cover.
