Hive Destruction - Biography
Biography
Spawned end October 2008 from the collective brain of ex AMENRA's bassist KJM and current LIAR guitarist M. Halsberghe. A project to try out new riffing and stretching the known boundaries.
When K and M started HIVE DESTRUCTION they new they wanted to batter upon your eardrums with superheavy CROWBAR, NEUROSIS, ISIS and OLD MAN GLOOM a like riffing. Combined with atmospheric, acoustic and original hooks, deafening electronics and gloomy grooves… not for the weak of heart.
By mid August 2009, 8 songs were finished. All in some heavy style but with enough variation… Two true inspirations can be added to the listed mentioned above, AMENRA and MASTODON. Songs are all instrumental although there are lyrics for at least 4 songs.
Call it fear, call it not being able / having no voice… whatever. Songs are instrumental but it’s not sure if they’ll always be…
The heavy instrumental songs are spiced up with samples that range from movies to political debates, and just… sounds. Add to that the midi instruments and you’ll probably get some idea: Layers, layers and… more layers.
Anyway we’re mid August 2009, having 7 songs ready and coming to the point of being really stoked about this stuff. Next step was obvious: Demo I “Teeth Of Silver, Teeth Of Gold”. 4 songs, 24 minutes of which 6 mins electronic and 18 mins of heavy, sludgy riffing… The demo sold 75 copies in 1 month, not bad for a band that never played before and that only has virtual (Myspace) contacts.
