When we got our manager almost 10 years ago at this point now, he originally managed At The Drive-In, from the start to when they originally broke up, so that was one of the selling points of working with him. So like having him be present in my life from 94 to 2005 – I was obsessed.
And then he did the At The Drive-In record, the Blood Brothers record and Worship & Tribute – I was there for all of that up until he did that mid-2000 self-titled Cure album, which I absolutely loved. I was so obsessed with it and knowing that Ross Robinson was behind it – I was so in. So I was working at a street team company and they got an advanced copy of Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence and I fucking wore it out. I was following the path and following the folklore of this guy.Īnd then eventually he did the that first Glassjaw record. And then, yeah, I remember getting $3 Bill Y’all from this kid and then Roots from Sepultura, eventually the Slipknot records. And I remember that just like being like this really intense thing. So I bought the cassette and you know, I was obsessed so early with that band and with being a rabid music fan, even at a young age, I remember getting the VHS called Who’s In Now and in that VHS Ross Robinson speaks in it and has a really intense interview where he’s talking about how getting that emotional reaction is the closest thing to God for him. I was friendly at that age already with the staff who worked there and they would sell me parental advisory albums. And my fucking brain fell out of my head and I went to the Wherehouse Music, which was the whatever street and I bought and I bought their first album on cassette. And then that next year I saw the “Blind” music video on a local music video channel. Ross Robinson has been a figure in my life since I discovered aggressive music, you know? My timeline for music is basically like Kurt Cobain died in ‘94 and my heart was ripped out of my chest at 11 years old. So working with a legend like Ross Robinson had to have been so different since ( Is Survived By and Stage Four producer) Brad (Wood) has basically been like the sixth member.
TOUCHE AMORE CONDOLENCES LYRICS FULL
I was like, “I’ll take all of them.” It was full of like ‘90’s alt and nu-metal in there and I was looking through it and yeah Touché Amoré now has a lot in common with $3 Bill Y’all, Iowa, and Korn’s first album. One of my high school friends was trying to get rid of a bunch of her old CDs and posted it on Instagram. Below, we discussed working with Robinson, how the Andy Hull collaboration came about, and the genesis behind the best Touché Amoré songs ever. “I can comfortably say I’m proud of this album more than any other in our discography,” says Bolm. Robinson pushed Touché to their absolute best, resulting in some of the most challenging yet rewarding, genre-pushing music of 2020. From the art direction to the visuals to the actual music, nothing about this band is ever half-assed, so it makes total sense why the quintet would seek out “The Godfather of Nu-Metal” Ross Robinson (a man who’s had his hands on little-known records like Korn’s self-titled album, Iowa, Relationship of Command, Worship & Tribute – just to name a few of the records that completely changed aggressive music) to produce the band’s fifth album. “I wasn’t as focused on doing everything perfect as I was doing it to feel better.” Lament is the band putting in the best work of their decade-plus career – if there’s been one constant about Touché Amoré, it’s that the Los Angeles-based band has always given a shit. “ Stage Four was a mandatory record for my well-being,” explains Bolm. After the emotional toll 2016’s Stage Four took out of Jeremy Bolm, Lament feels like the Touché Amoré vocalist finally coming up from under the weight of that record for some much needed air.
