TAINT RELEASES BRAND NEW EP - ALL BEES TO THE SEA
TAINT`s brand new crushing EP, All Bees To The Sea, is being released on February 7, 2010 through Destructure records (COLISEUM, LORDS, KARYSUN, YEAR OF NO LIGHT, etc) on vinyl, cd and download formats.
It features four brand new songs, including the epic 12 minute title track!
Also included is the full legendary live set from Roadburn Fest 2008
This will be a limited release on vinyl with a run of 500 - 200 on clear yellow vinyl (already sold out!) and 300 on clear blue vinyl. Both come with a coupon to download high quality MP3 versions of all the tracks, plus the Roadburn live set!
The CD version comes with the four new tracks plus the full live set included.
"With All Bees To The Sea, TAINT have upped their ante again, with four brand new, barnstorming classics. Culminating with the 12-minute title track, and the electrically charged live set from TAINT’s Roadburn 2008 festival, you’ll agree that this release will stand alone in it’s own right. In All Bees..., TAINT have continued to blissfully marry the righteous riff, the pocket groove and the soul searching melody they`re renowned for. James `Jimbob` Isaac`s vocals have taken another evolutionary step, with a broader range and even more emotive quality. The spit n` bile is still present however, and makes for stellar company in his acerbic out pourings and canny, lyrical twisty turns. The sum of TAINT`s parts contain three often disparate personalities, providing a constant push-pull of rythmic intensity and riff heavy bombast with Alex Harries` groove drenched swing ever present behind the kit. While Chris West`s complex and dirt-infused bass lines creep and crawl all over you. Jimbob`s fretboard is also in no danger of neglect, and is treated to all the kinds of heavy handed riffing, progressive exploration and melodic dischordance that you`ve come to expect.
“Thematically, All Bees... is a call to escape. With the hand-drawn and gorgeously coloured artwork by Jimbob, this EP can bee seen as TAINT shedding the negative baggage that followed Secrets And Lies and a roll call to the fellow man (or bee) to join them in convoy to the glorious seas, and pastures beyond!"
"A real beaut` as always, with awesome production and super kick - ass riffage as I`ve come to expect!"
- Dave Ed, NEUROSIS
