WOLF EYES INFO::
2004: The machine-entity that Nate Young, Aaron Dilloway and John Olson, have brought to life sprouts limbs and runs roughshod across America. The recently released “Stabbed in the Face” 12” (Sub Pop) scratches, tears, rocks, claws and moves with the precision and clarity of quantum uncertainty. Their new full-length for Sub Pop, Burned Mind, will molest you. That is statistically for certain.
Wolf Eyes’ trademark boil-bursting thud has evolved into the roar of a lithe panther with rattling jackhammers for claws. Agility and quickness are now this beast’s most lethal attributes. Placed on the evolutionary charts, Burned Mind appears as the progeny of Throbbing Gristle’s Heathen Earth sound-model. But, the complex of muscularity and emotional range found in Wolf Eyes’ new sound-model has rendered its apparent ancestry slow, clumsy and rather limited in comparison. Fuck, man, cite all the top-shelf noise and power electronics bands until you’re blue in the face —Whitehouse, New Blockaders, Nurse with Wound, whatever — but none possess the internal being of Wolf Eyes. The former were performance artists flirting with the dire circumstances of the human condition in the abstract. But, Wolf Eyes just fucking ARE the dire circumstances of the modern human condition. Ever watch a movie about the future and the future is so oppressively grim, violent, foreign and insipid, that even a romance with nihilism seems way too quaint and inappropriate of a response? And then you realize…We live in drastic fucking times, and Wolf Eyes make drastic fucking music.
2005: Halfway through the century brings change to Wolf Eyes. With Aaron Dilloway relocating to Nepal, the band decided to scoop up Mike Connelly of noise kins Hair Police to pick up the slack. Connelly has been in the game since around 2000 with his own tape label Gods of Tundra and sound assault group Hair Police. He moved up to Michigan at the end of 2004 and has been jamming with Olson and Young in various projects, leading up to his introduction into Wolf Eyes. The band's recent shows have been a return to a much more primitive and raw approach to the bands own version of armageddon (which includes brews and Negative Approach's "Ready to Fight" on repeat). New recordings like "Deranged" and "Droll vol. 19" highlight Wolf Eyes' current state of mind, while new songs like "Leper War" tear it all to pieces. Its going to be a gnarly year.
