Spidergawd V is out today. From Todays adressa on Spidergawd after Bent
Quote:Spidergawd etter SætherSpidergawd startet som en klassisk powertrio med base i Bent Sæthers monsterbass med saxofon som ekstraelement. Bent sluttet etter tredjealbumet for å konsentrere seg mer om Motorpsycho, og etter det har bandet utviklet seg i nye retninger, blant annet blitt mer inspirert av den såkalte «New wave of british heavy metal» som oppsto på tampen av 70-tallet.- Det vil forsterke seg nå med Brynjar på plass, sier Per Borten – som bekrefter at låter fra de to siste albumene vil dominere turnésettet.
pre-order started at Rune Grammofon
Quote:Comes as a 180g black vinyl edition and limited 180g silver vinyl edition.Both vinyl editions include a CD and come in a special 4 panel fold-out sleeve.
Please note: The silver vinyl edition is limited to one copy per customer.

The Crucible starts where The Tower ended, but it soon takes on its own hue, and it is clear that it cannot be called a ‘sequel' as such: this is very much a step further out than anywhere the band ventured on The Tower. While it is broader lyrically speaking, it is even sharper focused musically and, if possible, even more idiosyncratic and insular than ever: unarguably a Motorpsycho album. There aren’t many traditional song structures or pop format platitudes on display, and there is indeed hardly any respect paid to any trad rock song conventions on the whole album, but that’s not really what one listens to Motorpsycho for anyway, is it? From the most Neanderthal of rock riffs to the most rhythmically oblique polytonal solo sections they’ve ever recorded, this album musically seems to sum up the extremes of the band’s current interests and concerns.
The Crucible was recorded at Monnow Valley Studios in Wales in August 2018 by Hans Magnus Ryan (guitars, vocals), Bent Sæther (bass, vocals, sundry) and Tomas Järmyr (drums), with co-producers Andrew Scheps and Deathprod. To these ears, and to the band’s satisfaction, this co-production ploy worked out wonderfully, and has resulted in a beautifully crafted record, smaller in size but at least equal in ambition to its celebrated predecessor. It is somehow both more focused, and denser in content, but also compositionally more ambitious than The Tower. One would perhaps think that this necessarily results in a diminished sonic assault, but the album still packs a wallop like a good rock record should. And – ‘for once’ some waggish tongues would say – does not outstay its welcome.
Released 15.02.19
Interview with Snah regarding working with Håkon Gullvåg
Sadly its only in norwegian
The B-side is a Stein Torleif Bjella cover (and translate of course) Suits as Kenneth is also in Bjellas band.
I saw MP, Alabama Kids and 18th Dye at Popkom 93 in Cologne.(And Sick Of It All inbetween at a different venue :lol: )
Also got the album. Just heard a couple of tracks. Kinda lacks the punch in the vocal department is my first complain.
@ Punj Lizard: Well you should have been there to get the atmosphere. It was a great night. But the TITS was never mote than a tounge in cheeck project with good tunes. Sugarfoot are more ordinary band. An as I said before I'll be suprise if the TITS gets reactivated.. I think the guys are satisfied with the situation as it is.
But I'm more interested in checking out the new Sugarfoot album when it drops sometime next year. Countryprog? Cosmic norse americana..?
On the later tours I did with the band. Bents drug of choice was some port wine after the show :MPD:
And what I have said several time. Bent is very well read.
Seen TITS several times, always a party. There should be a unofficial(official) recording that they did at Blæst here in Trondheim . Also Student TVen with Frode Dreier (Haircuts dvd) did some filming of that evening. 2 sets and loads of guests.
But I think that chapter is closed for good, but never say never this life has shown me several times.
Talked with Jakob/AGCR about the same thing yesterday. It was supposed to be very ltd but it might warrant a re-press,due to the interest.
no!
