Maggot heart - Dusk to dusk / City girls CD (Caligari)
Maggot Heart is feeding on the corpse of the metropolis, hiding in its
obscure corners and munching on its negativity, processing its black
fumes to release them as quick and witty sonic observations. Ol’ time
Rock'n'Roll, as intended in the traditional dangerous triangulation
guitar-bass-drums which harkens back to the teachings of Motörhead and
punk's past but with a dash of chemical spleen to cover the tracks.
Music that find release through gritted teeth. Ghosts of Killing Joke,
Poison Idea, Voivod, Black Sabbath, Sex Pistols and a lyrical approach
not distant to the Big Apple musings of a young Patti Smith fill these
corridors and howl together in four songs that bounce back between
themes of escapism and frustration, spiritual elevation and daily
disappointment, „dominance and submission“.
The city that never sleeps and struggles to pay the rent gave guitarist
and songwriter Linnéa Olsson the inspiration for her new project, Maggot
Heart. After leaving her native Sweden in 2012 where she had been
active with metal punks Sonic Ritual (two EPs, one Split-LP and a single
under their belt, also one of the bands that played the first ever
edition of the cult festival Live Evil in London in 2010) and as a music
journalist for over a decade, Linnéa relocated to Berlin, where she
soon co-founded the short-lived but much celebrated The Oath, with which
she wrote and released a single and an album. After their early demise
in, she was asked to join Finnish band Beastmilk on second guitar, which
shortly afterwards changed their name to Grave Pleasures and went on to
release the album „Dreamcrash“ in 2015. After a busy year of recording
and touring, Linnéa left the band in order to finally focus on something
of her own.
And so Maggot Heart was born. Recorded with the help of fellow Swedes
Uno Bruniusson (Procession, Death Alley, ex-In Solitude and Grave
Pleasures) on drums and Gottfrid Åhman (No Future, Reveal, ex-In
Solitude, Invidious, Repugnant) on bass, she then teamed up with
Berlin-based imprint Teratology Sound & Vision to release the EP
”City Girls” - the result of which is lying on the dissection table in
front of you, pulsating with life but with an infested core. The music
is catchy and direct but beneath it all lies a struggling process, both
internal and external, which seeks its revenge on the outer world: fists
are not being raised in choruses, rather aimed to the face. Tough and
spiteful, she has given you something to talk about.
