VERWOED LP STREAM
Now a week from its official unveiling, Noisey is now playing the entire spellbinding Bodemloos LP, the latest from Dutch black metal cult, VERWOED.
Utrecht-based soloist Erik B. began paving his path of destruction as one-man project, Woudloper, in 2014, creating an ethereal yet scathing style, heavily rooted in traditional black metal, yet reaching into more psychedelic realms of inspiration. Breathe Plastic released a critically acclaimed, self-titled demo tape in 2015, yet immediately subsequent to its release the project changed its name to VERWOED, as an even more exploratory epoch of the band was taking place, and when Bodemloos was brought to life.

Premiered via DIY, who say it’s “Drenched in melancholy… A slow-burn – one that tears apart everything its flame dare to touch”, you can watch the emotionally charged video, here.
Of the video, director Ali Kurr says:
“The track has so much pent up energy bottled inside it, and so when we came to make a film I wanted to harness that sentiment. Shooting in the disused building site reflected this tone, as it’s a space with so much potential that failed to be realised. The act of burning it down resulted in a sort of melancholic euphoria, this latent site was suddenly packed with scorching energy whilst simultaneously crumbling away.”

WILL DAILEY COVERS PRINCE
Boston’s Will Dailey is excited to be teaming up with Zumix for a very special night of music, honoring the life and legacy of Prince, specifically the musician’s dedication to his community, art and humanity. The show, entitled “Beautiful Ones” will take place July 29th at Zumix at 7PM. The show will feature live performances from Zumix program participants the Firehouse Band, Boston artist Nephrok, with a headlining performance by Will Dailey.
“There is no shortage of musical tributes when an artist with a shadow like Prince passes away,” says Dailey. “Music tributes are cathartic to all of us left behind. But I was stunned to learn of all the efforts Prince made in his community. That is also his legacy and while his songs will find spins, radio airwaves and clubs for the rest of time. I feel more compelled to celebrate his heart and commitment to those in need. Art finds it’s own fuel and can carry itself when it is as stunning as the work Prince left behind.”

The band centres around lead vocalist/songwriter Matthew Board, and drummer Lucy Fawcett. Living in the expansive landscape of South Devon, Matthew and Lucy exist so far from the mainstream that their unique style has grown autonomously. Drawing from the soundscapes of Sigur Ros and Mogwai, Matthew and Me create cerebral and emotional alternative music.
