when gives dates to worship mary bell in germany ? is there which in planning?
we'd love to do some gigs in Germany and -although totally undecided yet- we've been talking about doing that... hope that we manage to get there soon!
Almost looks like footage from on of those pompous advertising conventions ("Mary Bell, proudly brought to you by Acer - Empowering People"). Nice new tune though - another glimpse (together with Shooting Horse) of what is slowly shaping to be the follow-up to the self titled one?
Speaking of it - Crucial Blast recently included a little write up on the S/T in their new additions listing, just in case you didn't know...
Zitat von crucialblast.netMARY BELL self-titled CD Trabuc Records
Named after the infamous British child-murderess, this Dutch sludge squad just dropped their debut self-titled album on us and man does this crush. I say "just", as the album was recorded back in 2005 but took close to two years for a label to finally release it. The molten metal ooze hasn't aged a bit tho - Mary Bell excels at playing monstrously heavy and slow sludge with the massively detuned guitars recorded in the red, giving their sinister riffing a blown out, corroded edge, and the band's two vocalists trade off between sickening mangled screams and horrific growling utterances, putting this in the realm of bands like Moss, early Floor, Grief, Toadliquor, Fleshpress, Noothgrush, Khanate and Corrupted. Yeah, it's super slow, intensely hateful sludge, but I was surprised by a couple of moments of melody in here, like on "Torture" and "Armageddon Jam", where their tar-hooks take on a slightly anthemic edge, albeit moving at a slugfuck pace. Those moments are VERY brief though, as most of this stuff is gloriously hideous. Kind of like hearing the Floor 7" on Bovine if Edgy from Burning Witch had been handling the vocal duties, in a way. The crowning achievement in detuned amplifier excess comes with the closing track "Delirium", which incurs just that with a 24+ minute doomscape of sparse Khanate-style power chords dropping like cluster bombs over slowly oscillating waves of feedback and sound effects, lurching forward in sudden starts into nasty diseased grooves or hypnotic doom plod, and by the end sees the band floating off on a black sea of filthy amplifier hiss.
