Danish modern metal virtuosos MNEMIC have exclusively released “Diesel Uterus,” the first song off their upcoming masterpiece Sons Of The System, at Germany’s Metal Hammer Magazine‘s homepage. Have a listen to it here.

Mainman Mircea Gabriel Eftemie comments on “Diesel Uterus” and its lyrics:

“‘Diesel Uterus‘ is probably one of the heaviest songs in terms of tuning.  We still maintained the brutality but mixed it with some really beautiful melodies that can be heard in the chorus.  The vocals had lot of room to unfold as heard in the chorus and throughout the song.  It is mid-tempo pretty much all the way, and the middle part – or c-section if you will – becomes rather progressive and more melodic than the chorus.

“The lyrics are about the way technology has changed our way of living.  Everybody is dependent on digital devices, mobile phones, computers and especially the internet. If we have Google Earth, what does the military have?  Are we safe at all?  And is abundance of information a good thing?  Definitely good, if you know how to avoid the bad things.  The main point is that we should adapt to technology in a correct and balanced way.  In reality, we do waste a lot of time.  An aspect of the internet is that we end up watching the world most of the day through a screen. It is definitely a heavy topic that requires debate and a heavy song!”

British technical death metal virtuosos THE BOY WILL DROWN have just come off the road after playing a short string of dates in Germany, the band’s first shows outside of the UK.

The band report on their first venture into mainland Europe:

“First time TBWD has been on a ferry and across the pond.  We were excited and looking forward to the prospect of playing shows where we wouldn’t have a clue what people were saying and seeing rather amusing place and road signs such as ‘Wankum’ lol. But so far it has been such a blast and the album material has gone down so well with the fans; also people are looking rather rad in the new tee.  Surprising how late the shows start in Europe.  Didn’t manage to get onstage in Gent till almost midnight!  But the diehard fans stayed till the very end and it was an awesome show!!

“What have we been up to during the day??  Well…  The daily activities mainly include enjoying the great weather, bit of sightseeing being total tourists, driving on the wrong side of the road (sooooo weird) then doing the gigs!  Can’t be bad I reckon.  All planning to get our tan on but having to pay to use the service station toilets is fucking Mack.

“Have we travelled on our own…??  Hell no!  Two of our mates have joined the party!  Josh from the band ‘The Temptress‘ aka Merch Bitch and Nick from ‘This Is Colour‘ aka Driver Bitch.  Nick is also responsible for introducing us to Taylor Swift…  Cheers man.

“What about our touring buddies…??  Mindtrap are a great bunch of guys, such a laugh and awesome musicians.  Their music is so intense and we fucking love ‘em.  They’re always pleased to help us whenever we’ve needed advice on the local scene and if we have language barrier problems (as none of us speak a fucking word of German) but at least we’ve been learning a few important words from them to hurl at people while driving.”

Catch THE BOY WILL DROWN on tour in the UK at the following shows:

July 31 -  Grimsby, UK @ Matrix
August 1 – Leeds, UK @ Joseph’s Well
August 2 – Colchester, UK @ The Twist
August 3 – Norwich, UK @ Marquee
