NEWS: Quiet Man bring sludge to the boil?

Bringing the darkness back to Psychedelia, Quiet Man, the artists formerly God Root are making disturbing noises. Their Sludge-infused Noise Metal-ish kaleidoscopic debut album, “The Starving Lesson” is as political and ecologically bent as it is emotionally and spiritually compelling. “It’s hard to write about anything else when you see what is happening to the planet and to our community,” the band state, having recorded with Scot Moriarty at Backroom Studios in Rockaway, NJ and mastered with Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna). “Set to Boil Is The New Standard” is the first taste of the album, which is due out 14th July via Riff Merchant Records. Pre-orders are available now over at bandcamp.

Of the track, the band shares: “The military industrial machine is a Frankenstein monster long unchained from any master but total domination and anti-life. It is programmed to feed on the blood of the exploited for meaningless capital to the end-state of annihilation.”

And on the album: “This isn’t rainbows and sunshine psych, this is peaking on acid in a car accident shit. We want the music, especially live, to be a more physical sensory experience. I think music has the power to change the physiology of a person and we really strive to give people a psychedelic experience and sense of catharsis through the performance.”
