After over 3 years as signed recording artists, in september 2008 UK industrial metal act interlock (anticulture records) officially disbanded following their final appearance at offset festival. having released 2 albums and a remix EP with international distribution, having aired songs on MTV, MCM TV and BBC radio 1 alongside touring the united states, the united kingdom and europe extensively, interlock's demise left a significant basis of expectant fans eager to hear the follow-up to the 2005 album 'crisis//reinvention'.
Hal sinden & joe butterworth, interlock's singer & drummer respectively ('the twins' - often mistaken for eachother, even by family members), decided against allowing any dust to settle and have formed talanas:
"...when joe & i first started this it was just an exercise, or at the very most a reaction to what we had been busying ourselves with at the time. promoting interlock, whilst it was solid material, was a bit like trying to sell oysters at a fast food restaurant. we figured it'd be interesting to see what it would be like to return to playing balls-to-the-wall metal, now it's gone far past that and evolved into something neither of us could've imagined." - hal
Joined by ewan parry (sredni vashtar), mark 'duff' duffy (first world circus) & josiah lutton (adastreia), the band's sound is firmly placed in metal through influence from acts such as akercocke, decapitated & suffocation, whilst also introducing unexpected elements to their music via references to progressive & avant-garde / ambient artists such as david sylvian, cynic & porcupine tree. in the current climate of extreme genres, where today's metal acts are expected to bring more to the table than simply speed & attitude, talanas answer this demand by collectively sporting qualifications in modern music, sound design, performance & dramatic art. despite each being personally responsible for most strains of influenza, they are also bloody nice chaps with some truly smashing facial hair.
The london five-piece have now finished recording at berry street studio with tom whiston (noise:tek / bad sekta) for their debut EP 'reason & abstract', mixed & mastered at orgone mastering and scheduled for release through eulogy media on august 8th 2010.
