While orthodoxy and predictably has taken its toll on the once so exciting Norwegian Black Metal scene, a quite different breed of metal is establishing itself in the northern outpost of our civilization. At the forefront
of a scene boiling with sludgy and industrial
metal is Arabrot, a band that are now about to be
represent for the young generation what the sum of
Melvins, Throbbing Gristle and Swans was to the
generation before them.

A conceptual band with no limit of genre nor process

We are BRADDOCK. We just recorded a batch of songs for a 7" EP. It's the 1st volume in a series of live & raw recordings that don't fit on a full-length, or that demand a release of their own. Abrasive hardcore dementia & lo-fi blues. The other kind of blues. There's enough spineless, conformist, over-produced stuff around to fill your rooms, attics & basements with. Too many bands can't deliver on stage what they promise on record. We're not willing to play that game. This is a New Primitivism, aiming straight for the gut. Broken songs, damaged sounds. And words? Words don't even matter, words are merely tools. <br><br> One guy said we sound like The Jesus Lizard doing Napalm Death songs. Somebody else said the music makes no sense at all. And that's okay as well. <br><br> Later this year, we'll release a full album, an altogether different beast. More about that later. <br><br> We played with a bunch of bands we dig: BLACK COBRA, MASTODON, BLUTCH, HITCH, SARDONIS, TONER LOW, HYPNOS 69, ULTRAPHALLUS, SOLENOID, COLOUR HAZE, etc. <br><br>
