Asbestos Worker is Josh Stever. Josh Stever is an asbestos worker. Josh Stever is on guitar, Josh Stever is on bass, Josh Stever is on drums, Josh Stever is on vocals. Josh Stever aka Asbestos Worker keeps his hits coming with the release of his first full length “Dead End Town” via No List Records.

With very little time out of his personal life and career, Asbestos Worker is a solo project created out of necessity. It’s aggressive unrelenting rock that was first debut in March 2019 with the EP “My New Vision – A manifesto on how to forcibly seize power and eradicate sadness across the globe”. Not wasting any time, in just under a year, his latest release, the full length “Dead End Town” was unleashed to kick off 2020. Asbestos Worker’s goal is to create a loud, thought-provoking and relatable noise rock experience. With influences from grindcore as well as punk and thrash, the madness is 11 tracks of muscular hate rock for everyone sick of something, the perfect soundtrack for getting laid off from the steel mill.

Stever adds:

“Music has always been my therapist. So my songs have a never ending supply of things I have to get off my chest. Whether that be my own fears and insecurities and depression, or it could be the everyday irritations that we all face or the various social and political issues that might be pissing me off at the time. I guess you could say the world we live in is what inspires my lyrics and tunes. It’s also been a dream of mine to make a record since I was a kid and let’s face it, not many people ever realize their biggest dreams. And I was able to write the record all the music myself.”

When it comes time to doing live sets, the band consists of ⅔ of the band Tongue Party (Adam And Brandon Hile) on drums and guitar and Luke Gutting (former bassist for Tongue Party, current bassist for the band Cola Horse).

“Dead End Town” was released on January 23, 2020 and is available from No List Records.

Track by track explained by Asbestos Worker:
1. Over Analytical – This song was written at the end of one of the darkest times in my life. It was written on a night laying in bed unable to sleep because I was too busy thinking about the futility of life.
2. The Inconvenient Truth – The Inconvenient Truth is, in my opinion, that the majority of people have a lot to bitch about in this world. And those people are too lazy or lack the conviction to do anything about it.
3. Dead End Town – I live in east St. Paul, Minnesota. Which unfortunately is the greatest place in this state to live. In fact St. Paul sucks!
4. Defeatist – I wrote and dedicate this song to every nihilist troll who instead of doing anything useful with his life decides since there’s no point in this life he might as well make everyone else as miserable as possible.
5. Resting Bitch Face – I have one of those faces that if I’m not smiling I look like I want to murder someone. Even if I’m happy.
6. Thank You May I Have Another – Sometimes people stay in abusive relationships because they think they deserve it.
7. Burdened By Regrets – Also at the tail end of my darkest hour. I was as the title say Burdened By Regrets
8. Responsible Adult – I have 2 kids and know who I am and how the world perceived me. I really am amazed that I was allowed to have children.
9. Deadlock – I feel that at this point in history we as a species are deadlocked in a battle between ignorance and intelligence. All that’s at stake is our lives and our planet.
10. The Definition Of Asshole Is A Picture Of You – This one is dedicated to all the alt-right, neo-nazi assholes out there
11. Let’s Take This Outside – I work in construction and I was on a job last year where a guy who couldn’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag threatened to hit me with a small broom. All because I walked through an area He didn’t want me to but had forgotten to put up a barricade.

Fun Facts:
1. Josh Stever came up with the Asbestos Worker name because of his job. He’s a mechanical insulator by trade and the union is the heat and frost insulators and asbestos workers. He was trying to come up with something dark and ominous but everything else he came up with seemed contrived and cheesy.

2. This record and the EP before it were written and recorded between January – July. of last year. While also trying to teach himself how to play drums and how to record. And most of it was recorded while his daughter’s were sleeping in the room right above him. He uses 15 and 20-watt amps.

3. The main guitar riff for “The Definition Of Asshole Is A Picture Of You “was written 24 years ago when he was still in high school. He’s never forgotten it, but never got a chance to use it.

 

“Asbestos Worker is a one person band from Minneapolis, Minnesota who formed in 2018, from the looks of things. Asbestos Worker play an ugly and negative sounding style of music that incorporates elements of punk, metal, grunge, and noise rock within their sound. Musically, Asbestos Worker can be loosely compared to bands such as Flipper, Cuttthroats 9, Unsane, Melvins, and other like-minded bands. Since forming in 2018, Asbestos Worker has released a six song EP titled My New Vision-A Manifesto On How To Forcibly Seize Power And Eradicate Sadness Across The Globe in March of 2019. Dead End Town is Asbestos Worker’s latest LP, which was released on January 23rd, 2020. On Dead End Town, Asbestos Worker offers up eleven tracks of killer punk, metal, grunge, and noise rock. Overall, Dead End Town makes for an awesome listen and definitely should not be missed. Highly recommended! Enjoy!” – Dead Air At The Pulpit

“Asbestos Worker has returned with “Dead End Town”, 11 tracks of muscular hate rock for everyone sick of something. Driving like a jackhammer into your fucking teeth, tracks like “Deadlock” are as precise as Tar and hit like a bag of concrete dropped on your skull. The perfect soundtrack for getting laid off at the steel factory.” – Aaron Marko

Lakeman has a devoted cult-like following throughout the Okanagan Valley and British Columbia. The band’s long-form instrumental and genre-bending approach beckons audiences of various musical forms. They revel in the band’s ability to exchange instruments everything from drums to guitars, bass, keyboards, synthesizers and lately even the fiddle and banjo. All this happens while the music continues seamlessly through ambient soundscapes.  

The overall theme of the band is a sonic meditation of the veiled and macabre history of the Okanagan valley. The group finds their sound in a deeply collaborative approach, very little composition is done apart, and there is no “songwriter”. The band starts the compositions by first improvising together, the feel of each improvisation can be vastly different based on who is playing which instrument. As mentioned earlier the band does not have assigned instrument roles as most other bands traditionally do. You can find any one of the members doing anything from turning knobs on a synthesizer to singing into a violin before they started bowing it. After finding the improvisation the band likes, they then begin the long process of composing around this initial improvisation. Once a Lakeman piece of music starts to take form the band will start considering a local myth or legend to devote the theme to, this deepens the band’s thematic composition. This is when the piece will usually take its final or close to its final form.

In the fall of 2015 the band filmed their first and only song at the time, clocking in at over 35 minutes long, they named it “N’ha-a-itk”. It was filmed and edited by Chelsea Mcevoy. Audio engineering, mixing, and mastering of the song was recorded by Mike Pederson at the much-praised music city studio.  The band wanted to name their first release after the mythical serpent creature of Lake Okanagan. Locals refer to the mysterious animal as the “ogopogo”, but the members of Lakeman wanted to honour its true name of the Sylix first nations people “N’ha-a-itk”. While no members of the Sylix people spoke out about the band using the traditional name some well-meaning community members claimed Lakeman was unjustly culturally appropriating the traditional name. After a long amount of consideration, the band dropped the name “N’ha-a-itk” and renamed the piece “Self-Titled”.

Sections of “Self-Titled” were featured by peach city radio, Kootenay Co-op Radio, and dozens of online blogs across the province. The band was quickly noticed by music festivals across the province and revered as a premier live performance. Word quickly spread and the band grew popular with regional music supporters.

Lakeman has graced stages around the province since 2015. The band has been a part of a wide variety of festival since that time: Turn it up/Tune it down(2018), Artsrising (2017), Artswells(2017), Hi-Society(2017 & 2016).

Lakeman’s 2nd audio-visual release “Progenitor” was released on November 29th, 2019.  The EP’s title “Progenitor” suggests a theme of fatherhood. The first single is titled “Powers Creek” is based off a local legend of an apparition of a father who died trying to find his missing daughter in the Powers Creek area. “+25,000 Hectares” and is an auditory interpretation of the devastating fires that sweep through the Okanagan Valley on an annual basis. The final track is simply titled “Pandosy”, this track is a musical contemplation of a darker side of Kelowna’s founding father: Father Jean-Charles Pandosy.

During the writing and release of this “Progenitor” EP, 3 of the 4 members of Lakeman have become new fathers.

Robert McLaren states:

“In a time when masculinity is deeply culturally examined, we too find ourselves asking what kind of fathers will we be? As we examine the themes of the valley’s symbolic masculinity and paternity, we are able to question ourselves subjectively through the art we intuitively create.”

“Progenitor” was recorded/engineered by Kaylub Burke at the Center for Arts and Technology with mixing and mastering by Andy Ashley. Visual elements were filmed and edited by Jonathan Robinson, and lighting was operated by Joshua Goodwin.

The album art for this release is individual, one of a kind acrylic pours for both CDs and Vinyl.

Last year the band recorded what will most likely be the last of their pieces of work. No official date has been set for this last currently untitled release. The band does not wish to comment on the reasons for this end, but are forever grateful for the love and support of their friends, family, and fans.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – February 14, 2020

For fans of Skeletonwitch, Darkthrone

Montreal Black/Thrash Maudiir Offers Debut EP “Le Temps Peste” For Free Download

Recently unleashing his debut EP “Le Temps Peste” on February 7th, Maudiir, the one-man-band black /thrash project created by F. is offering the release for FREE download via Bandcamp HERE.

Coming from the underbelly of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Maudiir is an outlet for observations on obedience and industrialization riddled with man-made waste. With 80s heavy metal influences alongside black metal and punk, Maudiir is unique in sound; hauntingly dark while being corrosive and galloping.

Starting with guitar, F. works his way through each sullen track, adding drums, recording all the colorations and textures of the guitars, adding bass, and finally writing the words, very often at the same time they are being recorded.

The pessimistic aura of the music combines with lyrics about consumer society, religion, science going awry, addiction to technology, and environmental decay. “Le Temps Peste” is intense dark music. Another release is currently in the works.

F. adds:

“‘Le Temps Peste’ is a riff-driven EP, corrosive and galloping, mixing black metal, thrash metal and NWOBHM, that makes it a unique listening experience. The blood, sweat, and tears of a one-man project.”

F. (ex-Deeply Confused, Tears for the Dead Gods) is also currently leading prog/thrash metal outfit Trinity Blast.

Maudiir is F.

Track Listing:
1. Product (5:14)
2. Abuse The Used (4:30)
3. Wasteland (5:15)
4. Surge of Fire (4:39)
5. Snakes of Creation (6:43)
EP Length: 26:23

“Métal de bord en bord, ce projet fait partie de ceux dont les sonorités sont parfaitement heavy, mais ô combien inclassables, où se mêlent habilement les influences et saveurs auditives les plus diverses. Avec Maudiir, on fusionne avec brio black, thrash et death mélodique, avec une touche de métal classique et de NWOBHM dans les acérés riffs. Le temps peste inclut tout plein de riffs aussi corrosifs que galopants, qui rendraient très fiers autant un prêtre traître qu’une vierge de fer, risquant très bien de vous donner un sale mal de cou.”  – BoulevardBrutal.com

“Metal through and through, this project is one of those whose sounds are perfectly heavy, but oh so unclassifiable, where the most diverse influences and flavors are skillfully mixed. With Maudiir, black, thrash and melodic death are brilliantly merged, with a touch of classic metal and NWOBHM in the sharp riffs. Le Temps Peste is full of corrosive and galloping riffs, which would make proud a traitor priest or an iron virgin, most likely to leave you with a bad neckache.” – BoulevardBrutal.com

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – February 14, 2020

Rockshots Records: Finnish Melodic Death Metal TORCHIA Unleash New Single “Memoirs”

New Album “The Coven” Out March 27th

Pre-Orer Available

Finnish death metallers TORCHIA have unleashed their next single ‘Memoirs’, off their forthcoming sophomore album “The Coven” due out March 27th via ROCKSHOTS RECORDS.

The track is now available for stream and download at the following links:
YouTube – https://youtu.be/kH8CHJc_1qg

Spotify – https://spoti.fi/2Sxom5n

https://spoti.fi/2Sxom5n
Apple Music (immediate download) – https://apple.co/37eurt0

Edward Torchia comments about the track:

“‘Memoirs’ presents TORCHIA at our very core. I think the signature melody of this song is one of the most memorable our guitarist Ville Riitamaa has ever written, and I love the fact that he paired it with an onslaught of death/thrash riffs. In a way, I feel ’Memoirs’ is a hybrid between ’Fury’ and ’Face of Hate’, two of the most popular songs from TORCHIA’s debut album. Lyrically, it’s a story of black magic, betrayal, and of course, death.”

Arising from the inner darkness of composer and lyricist Ville Riitamaa, TORCHIA takes inspiration from a multitude of metal subgenres and their mission is to revitalize the genre of melodic death metal by bringing in a sense of danger and unpredictability.

“The Coven” is now available for pre-order at the Rockshots Records‘ official store – http://bit.ly/Torchia_PREORDER
