Tex Napalm made his debut as a solo artist 2009 on STAGGER RECORDS. The title ‘DIONYSUS RISING’ marks the destination – this is Tex at his most sleepless and haunted hours. Dark rock anthems in the sense of The Stooges, Chrome Cranks and Beasts Of Bourbon meet the gloomy & haunted ballads of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Voodoo-Blues that fans of Tom Waits might dig. Though clearly in the tradition of ‘the last man standing in the bar’-entertainers, Tex’ unique handwriting is all over the place; there’s a wicked sense of humour, his grimly & howling wolf voice, and a luciferian pleasure in the sounding of this allover. This is Napalm in the pure form - despite the fact he’s playing all the instruments, writing & arranging the songs and even producing it, this is not your average ‘just another home recording record’. One foot stuck in Garage Punk, Electronic, Rockabilly, Blues, Noise & Rock, the other in soundtrack-like ambience, Chanson, Country, Folk & classic Entertainment in a truly twisted, wicked way. The original vinyl-only gem sold out and found by demand a CD Release for the late birds in March 2011 as well as a digital release finally on Tex own label ‘EL BRUTO RECORDINGS’. Tex Napalm these days works with a six-piece lineup by the name of ‘TEX NAPALM & THE SILVER SPADES’ as well as a more rock-based incarnation as ‘TEX NAPALM & DIMI DERO’.
