Sometime ago I was shooting on you tube hoping to discover new bands and interesting songs, i accidentally came across a video "Caligula".....and I was particularly well impressed about it.
I realized that it was a new Italian band and the song that I heard was the first song to be proposed by them
To satisfy my interest, I asked them to write their presentation , to expose the project to the public still does not know them...
"""""Fangs
Of The Molossus are a psych-doom metal band from the Florence area.
The first band nucleus dates back to 2011, but several line-up
changes caused delays and we reached some stability only in late
2012. Currently the band consists of Acid King Khanjia (vocals &
guitar), Amp Zilla (lead guitar & space FX), Count J. Vendetta
(guitar & space FX), Daemon Nox (bass guitar) and our newest
member Iako (drums).
By
the way…. yes, three guitars.
We
all have a previous musical experience in bands that are/were
sometimes radically different from Fangs' doom: Combo De La Muerte,
Bobby Tumultous, Tombstone, Cleaver, Bud
Spencer Drunk Explosion, Riviera, El
Cardinal And
The
Electric
Dicks… From straightforward metal to garage rock or latin jazz,
we've separately done them all (all genres: no pun intended). Having
a common interest in muddy, slow-paced music too, we just wanted to
see what could come out of this apparently weird mix of players.
In
Fangs Of The Molossus we aim to let most of our influences freely
flow into a unique blend. Music wise, if our backbone is the solid
doom that we all equally enjoy, once in a while you may happen to
hear something that reveals our individual sensibilities: Hawkwind,
Loop, Swans, Danzig, or even
Morphine and Spacemen 3.
It comes completely natural for us to start composing something that
is initially a heavy, rough and obsessive jam (some sort of
psychedelic "ostinato") and end up with something else,
that shares very little with the starting idea. At times structurally
simple and hard rock-ish, other times layered, with frequent
noise/drone or space rock intervals, we don't always know what the
final output of a song will be. And on stage many tracks become
longer, or get faster. Most of our tunes also change over time, until
we feel, like now, that a recording "gravestone" needs to
be placed.
As
for the lyrics, there are many inspirations and, again, no forced
lowest common denominator. Cheap pseudo-satanism is undoubtedly
funny, but it's not our cup of tea, unless proposed in a cinematic,
artsy way. Same goes with drug-driven stuff. We may find intriguing
subjects anywhere: in ancient Roman or Etruscan history and mythology
just as much as in early 70's horror movies, in science fiction
literature, in a Beksinski painting or in a comic book by Hideshi
Hino. Escapism, of course. But who would expect cocky social
commentary or political commitment from a doom outfit?
Going
back to the music, after a few warm-up gigs with our current line-up,
supporting bands like Caronte, our close friend Giulio's Funeral
Marmoori, Electric Taurus and Witche's Brew, we focused on the tunes
we found more defining for our sound and started recording our
four-track debut, that will be released in 2013.
We
still can't tell about the release format, though. Depending on the
mutually beneficial label or distro offers we receive, it could be
all tracks in CD or 10" record format, only two of them as a 7"
single, one by one for digital download, or
any other viable combination. We
have already been contacted regarding future Scandinavian, Italian
and U.S. distribution, but our main concern now is to get all tracks
done. Then we'll see. If no agreement is reached, no problem: D.I.Y.
has always been and will forever be an option.
In
the meantime, you can listen to the first track we made available
online, "Caligula", that also comes with a video, either on
main doom web-radios (Grip Of Delusion Radio, Heavy Handed Radio,
Hand Of Doom Radio, Downtuned Radio) or on our Facebook and
ReverbNation pages.
Doom
or be d… ok, you know that. ;-)
