With the horrific sub-genres of Folk Metal, Glam Metal, Neo-classical Metal, Groove Metal and Funk Metal, copulating in an already over populated and mal-nourished scene Norway's Next Life are the only band who dare to conceive the behemoth that could be Data Metal (well, sounds slightly less lame than Electronica Metal as I've seen elsewhere). Founded in 1999 by Hai Nguyen Dinh in Tønsberg, Norway, a town known for its Black Metal community and Hammerslagfestival which takes place in an old church every Christmas, Hai soon coupled up with Tormod Christensen, the pair locked all doors, admitted no girls and began grafting with an Amiga computer, electric guitar, synth guitar and an array of game consoles. Discovered by Jason Forrest's antagonistically brilliant CockRockDisco label earlier this year, their first album 'Electronic Violence' continues to prove what happens when young men combine too much orange swash with prolonged sessions of Final Fantasy XXI. |
When they do get to see the sun for a few minutes and get some well needed exercise, the live shows look incredible, full-on Testorone induced affairs of convulsive masturbatory energy and hilariously dramatic posturing, replete with an epilepsy inducing visual accompaniment, superb.
