wXdXw Interview

 

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

1. WXDXW is a collaboration with myself and K.M. We met on Twitter after being fans of each other's music and threw some tracks back and forth. He handles all of the music and I handle the vocals and lyrics.

2.You have a split coming out sometime in November, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on yourside of the recording?

2.We go for basically visceral and aggressive as a default . This split is no different 

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?

3.Its definitely a darker themed project . Lyrics dealing with paranoia, oppression, greed and the cold nature of our environment globally and locally .

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Wxdxw'?

4K.M. came up with it ..it's a word that immediately conjures thoughts of loss and hopelessness..the idea of how does anyone pick up the pieces ,how does anyone move on after something that changes everything. It's certainly a feeling we both have dealt with a lot.

5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the ep cover?

5. I wasn't involved in the artwork for the split 

6.Has the band done any live shows yet or is this strictly a studio project?

6. Its currently a studio project ,we don't have any plans to do it live yet , but who know what the future holds .

7.Recently the band was a part of a split with 'Absolute Fucking Bastard', what are your thoughts on the other band that had participated on the recording?

7.AFB fucking rips

8.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal and hardcore?

8. So far so good ..I would be lying if I said it was something that was really on our minds though. It's nice to have people like what we do ,but ultimately we're just trying to express ourselves and make sounds we like.

9.When can we expect a full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

9. I will say 2023 there will definitely be more music from us .What form that takes as far as a release I don't know yet. 

10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

10. We are both influenced by a lot of different music . Super heavy stuff , melodic stuff , goth stuff . Too many bands and artists to list .. lately I've been listening to Suicide Cages and Elizabeth Colour Wheel.

11.What are some of your non musical interests?

11. Our lives pretty much revolve around music . We both have several music projects and he's got the label stuff going on as well, but I don't think either of us would have it any other way 

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

12. Thanks for having me and checking out the music ! We hope you enjoy the spit, you'll see a lot more of us in the next year!

wXdXw/Absolute Fucking Bastard/fig. i | fig. ii/Syrup Moose Records/2022 Split EP Review

 

  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  ep  between  U.S.A's  wXdXw  and  Absolute  Fucking  Bastard  called  "fig.  i  |  fig.  ii"  which  will  be  released  in  November  by  Syrup  Moose  Records  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  Absolute  Fucking  Bastard  a  band  that  plays  a  mixture  of  black  metal  and  hardcore  punk.

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  some  spoken  word  samples  before  going  into  a  very  fast and  brutal  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  mixed  in  with  some  aggressive  hardcore  style  shouting  while  the  music  also  adds  in  a  great  amount  of  punk  elements  and  both  of  their  tracks  are  also  very  short  in  length.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  while  the  lyrics  cover  angry  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Absolute  Fucking  Bastard  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of b lack  metal  and  hardcore  punk  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Seancer".

  Next  up  is  wXdXw  a  band  that  plays  a  mixture  of  black  metal  and  hardcore  punk.

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  a  very  fast  and  brutal  style  which  also  uses  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats.  Vocals  are  mostyl  angry  sounding  hardcore  punk  style  shouts  and  screams  while  the  music  also  adds  in  a  great  amount  of  black  metal  elements  along  with  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  both  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  short  in  length.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  while  the  lyrics  cover  angry  themes.

  In  my  opinion  wXdXw  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  black  metal  and  hardcore  punk  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Dark  Times".

  In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  black  metal  and  hardcore  punk.  8  out  of  10.
