Igorrr Serve Up Some “Blastbeat Falafel” with a Little Help From Trey Spruance and Timba Harris
Experimental, multi-genre metal unit Igorrr have a new album coming out. And if you know anything about this project, you know they’re about to offer up some wild shit. Case and point is the latest single “Blastbeat Falafel” off the project’s forthcoming release Amen. That track name alone should not only give you an idea of what to expect and what not to expect in equal measure.
Perhaps the most interesting part of this single is the fact that is also includes Mr. Bungle’s Trey Spruance and Estradasphere’s Timba Harris. Let those two names sink in — this track is nuts. And thanks to the music video below, you can see everyone that went into making the track, including a full on choir.
The project known as Igorrr is the brainchild of French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre, who’s been operating under that name for a couple decades now. Interested in creating unique soundspaces, Serre explained how “Blastbeat Falafel” combines our world with that of an entirely different culture altogether.
“The track is an unnatural and unorthodox connection between metal and traditional oriental music. A metalhead who truly loves oriental music tried to fit in with the codes of oriental music but didn’t succeed. He tried too hard, lost his identity, and ended up in a psychiatric hospital.”
Amen will be released on September 19 via Metal Blade Records. They’ll also be touring Europe later this year with Master Boot Record and Imperial Triumphant. You can find the dates to that run of shows below.
