Hereisaropegoodluck - Nothing To Write Home About

Variant

It’s that time again! I’m back with another brand new album and this one is unlike anything I’ve done up to this point. I’ve been trying to capture a new release across all of my favorite genres, and it’s finally time for the grind! This one has been secretly percolating behind the scenes here for years, and I’m so pleased to get to showcase the brand new project from the craziest pair of WV alumni maybe ever. This whole release is just drenched in WV powerhouses and honestlyits so good that this should be like, debuting on Deathwish or something, haha. This punches so far above its weight it isn’t even funny and it actually makes me uncomfortable with having to represent something this good!

My favorite part of WV is using the platform to exalt the new bands of previous WV alumni, and this release is kind of the ultimate example of that. I’m going to try not to be too big of a meat rider on this, but it’s literally impossible when you’ve got the brand new project from some of your favorite musicians ever. You might know Michael Carroll from, uh, literally Destroyer Destroyer and if that doesn’t get you torqued I don’t know what will. It’s a two man power duo and in addition to Carroll holding down the instrumentation, you’ve got Brian Cole (of Debello band Plagues fame) bringing it up on vocals.

As far as band members go, it almost feels like the third member is just Digital Ghost. I can’t really talk about the composition on this album without bringing up Digital Ghost (formerly Swamp Sound) who did the whole album. Michael and Brian flew out and recorded this whole thing in house, and the DG influence is more than apparent. It ha those signature drums and the production elevates this to such an insane level. Its such a treat to hear something with such old-school charm with this level of production. Immediately feels so big budget and modern.

I wanted to bring a level of grandiosity to this, and I’m such a sucker for like, not metal artwork with a big metal logo. I was so fortunate to be able to get not one, not two, but FOUR giant paintings from Michal Lukasiewicz to use for this record. Just an insane amount of art packed in to this released and I can’t wait for you to get these in hand and explore all the detail! On top of that, Kai was Abel to draw up an insane logo, and put this whole thing together in such a compelling way. Honestly one of my favorite layouts and art presentations maybe ever. Obsessed with this.

It’s been such an honor and a privilege to get to work with Michael and Brian on this over the past few years. It’s been flights to the studio, countless group chats, drafts and drafts and drafts. They’ve put so much effort in to creating a modern classic and everyone involved has put so much care in to the final presentation. I know you’re going to love it! NO ONE is making grind like this in 2024!

Honestly, I think there is a big potential that this could end up ebbing a lot of people’s AOTY. If you’re an OG WV fan, this is the new release for you. If you’re a deathcore guy, I think the production is an easy “in” to get in to a grind album like this. Its grind and so so much more. Please tell a friend! Share a post! Buy a copy! Thanks again!
