Making Metal Disturbing Again….
Emerging from Pennsylvania in 2018 and combining the percussive force of second-generation drummer Max Portnoy with the pure, war-torn fury of vocalist and YouTube sensation Justin Bonitz, nu-core quartet TALLAH are on a mission to revamp and modernise the much-loved sound of popular nu-metal sensations of the early 2000s.
Drawing influence from the musical influences of their youth (the likes of Slipknot, Korn and Linkin Park), Tallah fuse the razor-sharp precision of these acts with the raw edges of modern hardcore music displayed by current sensations Code Orange, Vein, Candy and Fire From The Gods.
Having followed Justin’s popular YouTube channel for some time - which boasts perhaps the most popular scream tutorial at approximately 3m views, “How to Scream (10 Different Techniques)” - Max approached Justin to join a new project with guitarist Derrick Scheider and bassist Andrew Cooper, both of whom Max had formed previous relationships with on the Philadelphia music scene.
The resulting explosion of chaos, controversy and metal innovation birthed the band’s first EP, ‘No One Should Read This’, which was recorded at Spin Studios (GOJIRA, LAMB OF GOD) in 2018. Following its release, Max received the Modern Drummer Award for “Best Up and Coming Drummer 2019” and the band performed at Boomtown Festival in the same year.
Tallah’s forthcoming album ‘Matriphagy’ expands upon the concept outlined in ‘No One Should Read This’, armed with a disturbingly graphic tale that is to be taken both literally and metaphorically. Set to a pleasurably harrowing backdrop of brutally heavy musicianship, ‘Matriphagy’ is an unapologetic love-letter to chaos, and the sickening twist of the macabre.
Lyrics
Welcome to my eternity
I am the recluse who balked his maturity
I am a slave to my own insecurities
I am the culprit in the eyes of the jury
Welcome to my pain
I’m the definition of a bitch been spayed
Watch in fascination as the parasites sway
Fear my explanation as it’s thrown away
This is the cry of a man with no purpose
This is the song you will sing at his grave
But that’s me…
I’m sad
I’m sick of being trapped inside
It’s decaying all I see
There’s no use in getting better
These things, they multiply
Are we not supposed to feel more than sad?
She is the thorn in my side
She is my possessor
She is my whole life
She is my coffin
If you don’t believe
Open up my stomach
-Watch the parasites sway
Disease you, disease me
This is an oppression
Society silently kills me
She’s a wretch in disguise
I am her child, and she is my mind
I am denial, and she is behind every thought
-Every violent thought
-Every violent thought
-Every violent thought
-Every violent thought
This is the look of a man whose been gelded
This is the way that he handles his pain
But that’s me…
I’m sad
I’m sick of being trapped inside
It’s decaying all I see
There’s no use in getting better
These things, they multiply
Are we not supposed to feel more than sad?
Here comes the flood
And she dams it every day
O’ she keeps the pressure right
Until I drown under my own shit!
We are the sad
We are the diseased
We need our mother to relieve our pain
To pull us up—pull us up
To pull us up—pull us up
To pull us up—pull us up
To pull us up—pull us up
