BIG DAY IN Interview: Ehnahre

0 comments Posted by Bubba Crumrine at 1:27 PM


Ehnahre’s avant take on extreme metal has been a source of intrigue and amazement here at the IU/FREE! camp since their founding members initial defection from Kayo Dot. For the uninitiated, the band melds a blur of doom, death, and black metal with avant and 20th century components and theory to create some of the most extreme, chaotic, atonal and relentlessly unpredictable compositions in the metal or experimental world.  This is so far beyond any ‘thinking-man’s metal’ it holds its own mind-altering level of complexity and drastically creative application of technical and theoretical musicianship.

Ithaca Underground aimed to bring the band out back last spring and have been holding our collective breath since. May 7th we'll take a sigh of relief and huge huff of extreme composition at its finest. Bubba Crumrine gets the latest on the band's activities, their latest release on Crucial Blast, and in-process material.

IU: How have you all been since we last spoke back in last February?

Ryan: Doing well!  Trying to stay out of jail and the hospital as best we can.

IU: I heard you ran into some troubles on the road last fall... what happened and what keeps you and the guys going and continued to be involved in DIY touring?

Ryan: We did a tour in the fall, and it was a little rough.  Pretty poor turnouts, no money, the usual story.  We booked it with this band Wolvserpent, from Boise, and we had a great time with them, but two relatively unknown touring bands made for some pretty dismal financial prospects.  And not like we give a shit about making money, but we at least need to come close to breaking even.  We're not 20 anymore, we're too old to run around touring with $1.86 in our pockets, stealing gas and food.  That shit was awesome 10 years ago, but we unfortunately can't really afford to do it anymore.   So for now, in the states, we're going to stick a little closer to home, and just play the northeast, until we get a little more exposure and can procure a minimal guarantee.  We are however, planning a return trip to Europe as soon as possible.  They seem to be more receptive to what we're doing over there, and treat touring bands much, much better.

IU: On a more positive note, give us the low-down on the new album, 'Taming The Cannibals'!

Ryan: "Taming the Cannibals" is our most recent release, it came out on Crucial Blast in November.  It's a little bit of a departure from our first two records, as we went from 3 guitarists down to 1.  But I think we actually prefer it this way, as the dissonant harmony is much more audible without 3 guitars muddying things up.  It's a concept record of sorts, as we always do, centered around dual themes- self destruction/self loathing, and the pitfalls of modern life, or our disassociation from our more primal selves.   We culled our text material from Robinson Jeffers, Georg Trakl, Walt Whitman, and F.R. Higgins.

IU: How did you get hooked up with the fine folks at Crucial Blast?

Ithaca Underground eNews 4/8

0 comments Posted by Bubba Crumrine at 11:00 AM

Over the last 2.5 years, we've been communicating with the supporters of IU through an eNewsletter which required a user sign-up. Recently, we've started posting these on ithacaunderground.com and Facebook as well. It dawned on us that maybe we should be posting here as well. These updates on FREE! may continue or they may not so, feel free to give us your feedback! We know there are still people in Ithaca and the surrounding areas who do not know we exist so hopefully this additional medium will help others get involved and help spread the word on the artists we love and support. 

Greetings from the underground,

Thanks to everyone who came out to the annex Sunday night for the show! Great sets from Womyn Boiz, Inerds, Coworkers, and Pharaohs – looking forward to seeing Inerds’ dual female fronted powerviolence at Big Day In! We’ll have WB and Coworkers back soon too. If you’re looking to catch Pharaohs, they’re playing a benefit at CSMA on Apr 9. They’ll split after spring graduation!

We have some sad news that BANNER PILOT decided to drop off their upcoming tour with THE QUEERS – this show is still on for Tues, May 24 at The Haunt with Beach Parade and Fight A Scary Dog 5PM doors, 6PM start $10 and presale are up now: http://thehauntithaca.ticketleap.com/iu-the-queers-banner-pilot-beach-parade-fight-a-scary-dog/ - just no BxPx.

BIG DAY IN: Saturday May 7th 2011 was finalized as TOMBS, WOE, EHNAHRE, SULACO, Oak & Bone, Night Owls, Lux Carentes, Sepsis, Inerds, Mouth To Mouth To Mouth, Hiroshima Vacation, and Sun Spells. Still just $5, 12PM-10PM at The Haunt. Help us spread the word on this one!
