Louisiana hardcore act Iwrestledabearonce have decided to move away from making hardcore and focus instead on black metal.
Guitarist Steven Bradley explains why:
“We were sick of getting lumped in with ‘scene’ and ‘whatever-core’ bands, so we decided to embrace our roots and just go straight black metal on the new album… I’d say 90% of the new record is straight-up black metal, so we had to change our image to match…Because of course that’s just as important, if not more so, than the music.”
Let’s hope that last sentence is a bit tongue-in-cheek. The band have an album out later this year on Century Media.
