He lately launched a blistering new single titled “Convulsing” that’s unbelievably electrifying. He fuses collectively backbone chilling vocals with thunderous bass and closely distorted guitars in a wondrous method, solidifying it as a real head banging anthem.
We had an opportunity to ask Lifeless Weight just a few questions on his mission and this single. Take pleasure in and take heed to “Convulsing” beneath!
“When nobody is there for you, music is there for you, and I’m there for you.” The place did this message come from and what does it imply to you?
It implies that you’re by no means alone you probably have music. In case you have household, relationship, psychological well being or private points you may search refuge in music, and particularly in Lifeless Weight, as a result of the music flows from the struggles of life and fights again in opposition to them, and Olli–the character/position I take with the corpse paint and as I carry out, is non-binary, and meant to be relatable to anybody. Olli is extra of a job than an id, anybody may be Olli or be Olli for another person. Olli will at all times be there for you with open arms.
As for the place it got here from–I really mentioned it in pure dialog attempting to elucidate the mission to somebody and didn’t understand it on the time. My supervisor (Thomas Bridges) overheard it and thought it nailed the which means of the mission so he wrote it down. We now have determined to place it on a hooded sweatshirt that we are going to be releasing quickly, with the protocol of giving the entire earnings to a charity (we haven’t determined but however are in dialog with just a few non-profit organizations, however we’re open to collaboration with anybody if the match is true).
When did you get into digital music? When did you understand you wished to fuse arduous rock and dubstep collectively?
I acquired into digital music across the age of 14-15. Identical to many others it was Skrillex and Kill The Noise that kick began me into this EDM world. From listening to the pure authenticity of Skrillex’s music and the complete throttled sound design from Kill The Noise I used to be hooked on the entire scene prefer it was crack.
I by no means had this loopy epiphany about fusing the 2 genres collectively. I suppose it began method again after I was entering into heavy music. I cherished the push and the aid I acquired throughout and after a heavy tune. Not singling it all the way down to heavy metallic both, simply heavy music basically, music that makes you need to burn the world whereas it’s hitting your eardrums. From that it had an unconscious affect on my writing type. So, you may say I unintentionally fused these two genres collectively simply purely as a result of I’d attempt to write what I wished to listen to. Attempting to be sincere with my manufacturing and my genuine self.
Who’re just a few artists you look as much as proper now each as artists and in addition at spreading constructive messages like yours?
A pair artists which might be grabbing my consideration proper now are King Yosef and Nanoo. King Yosef is that this “industrial sounding” Hip-Hop Artist (I put quotations there as a result of I’m not likely certain Easy methods to describe his music). Nanoo is that this ahead pondering producer that ranges from Heavy Dubstep, Experimental Bass and Home. He’s so numerous and makes me attempt to be a greater producer.
As for artist/manufacturers I look as much as for spreading positivity within the scene must be OWSLA. Regardless that they’re nonetheless on their painfully lengthy hiatus, OWSLA does one thing distinctive and completely different that unifies all these completely different sounds with the identical vitality. They only preserve it recent, retaining actual, and retaining it true. That’s what OWSLA does.
What’s in retailer for the remainder of the yr/subsequent yr for you?
For the remainder of the yr I’ve loads of music releases: singles, collabs and possibly even a full size EP if everyone seems to be up for it. Plenty of reveals deliberate for the remainder of the yr and beginning 2023.
Simply know that you could be not know who/what Lifeless Weight is at present, and that’s okay, However for these upcoming years you gained’t be capable to do away with me. I’m on this for all times.
