Brooklyn Sound: Primitive Weapons + We Never Learned To Live

Brooklyn Sound präsentiert: Primitive Weapons und We Never Learned To Live live im Molotow!

Primitive Weapons

Primitive Weapons returns with new album The Future of Death, coming April 15th on Party Smasher Inc.
From Brooklyn, New York, Primitive Weapons embodies that moment where hardcore opens its fists and embraces the grandeur of rock – where feral rage joins with melody and texture to transform into something even more enthralling. Fugazi did this in the late ’80s; in New York City it crystallized into a scene of its own in the early ’90s when veterans of the CBGB matinees began starting new bands – Helmet, Quicksand, Into Another – with the explicit intention of exploring a wider range of sound and feeling. Perhaps more than any other band, Sweden’s Refused came to represent this shift, bringing in elements from all over the musical map while retaining white-knuckle intensity. Primitive Weapons guitarist Arthur Shepherd was right there on that wave, starting in the ’90s with his Long Island-based hardcore band Mind Over Matter and advancing to World’s Fastest Car (with Quicksand’s Walter Schreifels), Errortype:11, and Instruction (with Quicksand’s Tom Capone). Rooted in hardcore, these latter bands made music that was simply epic, beyond the limits of a genre.

Primitive Weapons carries forth the tradition of this original post-hardcore spirit but does so in a thoroughly forward-charging way, bearing no shred of retro-glorification. Primitive Weapons is a modern-day beast, a hybrid of soaring wings and gnashing teeth. Sophomore album The Future of Death is an eight-song thrill ride, full of tribal thunder, hard grooves, dire screams, luminous guitars, and massive, mournful choruses that haunt for days.

We Never Learned To Liv

Following a demo tape (that was subsequently turned into a 12” EP by Germany’s Through Love Records) and a split 7” with the similarly epic Human Future, We Never Learned To Live, the post-rock inspired five-piece from Brighton, signed to Holy Roar Records – after the label were left floored by the bands enthrallingly intense live representations of their recorded work to date. Following the release of their phenomenal debut album Silently, I Threw Them Skyward in early 2015, the band went on to have an eventful Summer, seeing them record a live session at the famous BBC Maida Vale Studios for Daniel P. Carter before playing a triumphant set to a packed Bixler stage at Arctangent.

Whilst perhaps now a cliché, Silently, I Threw Them Skyward really is a journey of a record – unafraid to be gloriously melodic, catchy and direct (shadows in hibernation), spookily cinematic (you will sleep now, Yourko) or serenely heavy (the duel bass guitar driven tasting paralysis). Expertly woven together by Sean Mahon’s vocal delivery (alternating between brittle anguish and reflective melodies) and lyrics – Silently, I Threw Them Skyward is an intricate puzzle that will hurt, punish, comfort and uplift. Like all the best music should.
