Description

Brutally honest political lyrics backed by doom metal riffs, insane tempo changes and deep, dark, understandable vocals

Notes

RISE is an attack on the corporations and the governments they control. War Mongers, Dumbing Down America and Corporate Goosestep are examples of the blunt, no-holds- barred lyrics leading the attack. A cover of Open Your Eyes by the Lords of the New Church is included and the final song, Arminius, is about the German barbarian who, against all odds, defeated the Roman legions in 9 AD.. With "original, great, strange and yet passionate vocals that simply offer amazing interpretations suitable for the meanings that Lunatics want to share with the listeners", Kenny is joined by Mike Brickman (Hirax), Jorge Iacobellis (Hirax), Rusty Reens (Watch Me Burn), Bryce Waring and Zeke.

LUNATICS ON PAROLE
Rise
(Green Revolution Records)
The primary goal of music is to reveal the feelings and thoughts of its creators or even reflect the situations of the nowadays society. Well, not only... I also believe that one of music's essential reasons for existence are or at least should be its revolutionary character and the radical meanings it communicates... This is a utopia nowadays with all those corporations and multi national labels and the countless bands, whose sole purpose is to gain fortune and fame. Pathetic and sad, but true nevertheless. So, I always feel content when I come across bands that are imbued in the very essence of music, who "use" music as a vehicle, a pedestal to make their voices be heard, be it for music itself or other artistic or social reasons. Does this make them vulnerable? Definitely not! On the contrary it makes all of us stronger if we just take some time to listen to what they offer us, analyze and thoroughly think of it all. Changes are brought by opposing and reacting toward whatever bothers or annoys us, so this is what Lunatics On Parole do. They oppose and they bring a fresh air to our beloved music. How do they achieve that? Easily, by having catchy riffs, nice tunes and musical themes, along with great arrangements and to wrap it all up, compositions with a unique and personal character that make them distinguish and stand out from every other band! Needless to say anything about the craftmanship and the skills of the musicians that comprise this superb musical proposal!! Musically now they are hard to label since they incorporate in their sound elements from almost all the genres of the metal music along with some intense punk rock tinges. However, the most significant and characteristic part of their music is definitely the vocals. I've never listened to such original, great, strange and yet passionate vocals that simply offer amazing interpretations suitable for the meanings that Lunatics want to share with the listeners. So, if you are really looking for something truly unique and original, join the legion of the lunatics!!!! I surely will!!!!!!

Lunatics On Parole is a metal band that is brutally honest in their music and approach. Fronted by 6'8" Kenny the Gardener and his unique voice, L.O.P. tackles political and social issues through a combination of metal and punk with insightful lyrics. The band has evolved throughout the years from a psychedelic/punk/metal sound to a hardcore/metal sound. This diversity of sound has made it hard to pin down the band's style but enables them to feel at home playing death metal concerts, punk shows and hemp festivals. The new cd RISE is the band's heaviest output so far, a cross between Sabbath, Slayer and Rammstein, and the current lineup includes Jorge Iacobellis (Hirax, Rosemary's Billygoat) on drums, Mike Brickman (Hirax, Cell Block 5) on bass, and the guitar of Bryce Waring (Rosemary's Billygoat). Mathias Schneeberger played keyboards on the cd in addition to being the recording, mixing and mastering engineer.
