![]() ![]() The level of creativity along with the emotional ferocity of that film has definitely influenced all of us in a lot of ways. #Seek and destroy ps2 black bombs movie#GK-We’re all huge movie buffs, and that’s easily one of our favorite films. But was the film a real influence on that song and what meaning where you trying to convey? I also noticed a reference to the film There Will Be Blood on the track “Third Revelation”. You’ll have to figure out what those are for yourself though. There are also some links in other songs on the record to older material from our previous bands. GK-There is actually a direct musical correlation between “Rid” and “Auto-named” besides being short in time. Is there an underlying theme between the two songs and the two albums in general? I noticed that “Auto-Named” features the closing line from “Rid” “Rid yourself of all thought”. At first you hear a song and you’re like “what the fuck are they doing?” Then once you know the “trick” (as we call it) you’re like “oh shit it’s just 1-2-1-1-2 the whole damn song.” That’s the real genius behind that band. It takes you a month to figure out all the little nuances they do and how it all adds up to one simple idea. The process provides a type of vague continuity throughout the song. But we really tried to take it further than that and tweak riffs in ways that you might not expect. It’s nothing new for us: we’re totally guilty of taking a riff then cutting it in half or slowing it down. GK-For most songs we really tried to stick with one musical idea and then tweak that idea in as many ways as possible to create a song. What are some of the themes touched upon in this record? It was easy…we just put bends everywhere! □ We always write the rhythmic ideas first and they’re definitely the backbone of our music, but on this record the tonal “layer” on top of those rhythmic ideas are more developed. Jonny and I are actually using are left hands a lot more this time around. GK-For me personally as a guitar player there’s a lot more going on in a melodic sense. How would you view this record in comparison to Centralia? ![]() After a few listens it becomes pretty obvious what w^w^^w^w is actually referring to. In the band we call it “w click w” for short, but a lot of people are now calling it the “waveform record,” which works too. It’s more of a symbol than anything else. This time around we purposely picked something that didn’t have any literary or thematic connotation but instead represented what is going on in the music itself. GK-The one thing that we were always unhappy about with Centralia was the album title. To us it doesn’t make sense to put something o ut unless we’re 100% happy with it.Ĭould you explain the title w^w^^w^w and how would you want people to pronounce it? Personally, I think “w caret w caret caret w caret w” is a bit of a mouth full. But we really wanted everything to sound right before we put it out. We finished vocals, final mixes and mastering all three days before the record was posted on Bandcamp. ![]() GK-I will admit during the last year and a half of tracking it did feel like it would never end and in fact the process didn’t officially end until a few days before the release. What exactly held you guys back and was there ever a point where you thought you would never put this record out? The new album was in development hell for quite some time. ![]() I definitely had “tunnel vision” towards the end, so it’s nice to just relax and focus on other things for a change. I’m glad we did, but after a few years we really got sucked into the process. Everyone in the band wanted this record to come out as good as we could possibly make it so we all put in a lot of time and effort. GK-Yeah it feels great, but most of all it’s a huge relief. I recently caught up with guitarist Greg Kubacki to get the scoop on the new record and the band’s endeavors.Ĭar Bomb have put out their first album in five years, w^w^^w^w. Car Bomb released their long awaited sophomore record, w^w^^w^w earlier this year and was met with a enormous amount of positive praise, as it should. Car Bomb’s deconstructed, chopped and screwed instrumentation combined with psychotically eccentric vocals are the band’s essential tools to make them stand out among the rest. Their rhythmically complex and psychologically devastating brand of heavy music is something you have to experience for yourself to believe. After listening to their debut release, 2007’s Centralia, I knew that Car Bomb was on to something special. ![]()
