Volition

英国Sludge/Doom Metal乐队，组建于2005年。 Chapter I – the dim past... Hailing from the mystic and oft-forgotten land of Furness, a wild and ravaged spit of Lakeland and declining industry, these ardent minstrels of morbidity baptised themselves Volition. They set about amassing sky scraper amps and powerful drums, ready to terrorise the sensibilities of the weak and commercial tastes of their redundant local area. These rancid mongers of doomf**kery released a live CD-R in early 2006, and the oily sonic miasma of decrepitude and depression that these hirsute Northern peasants belched out soon started to gnaw at the attentions of the influential. Cue Israeli based label Total Rust, and a two album deal. At the label's request Volition released a demo CD-R in early 2007, and made further inroads into the underground. Volition's serotonin-sapping masterpiece of gloom, the eponymously titled debut album, was recorded in June 2007 at the near-legendary Studio 1in12 in Bradford, Yorkshire, by Bri Doom of Lazarus Blackstar. 'Volition' features eight monolithic dolmen stones of bleak and oppressive doom sludge that hammer pessimistic horror deep into the psyche; bleeding black bile into the frail body of desperate humankind; shitting pure nihilism over the coffee-table of mediocrity. Chapter II – looking forward to death... Volition have doggedly ploughed a stinking seam of grizzled doom and hate-soaked post-hardcore sludge since their inception in the early 21st century. With a determination borne of adversity, they have risen above the rotting ruins of the North to continue in a quest to record their harsh and uncompromising sound. Read on doomf**ks...Volition have the reworked album track 'Pathogen' (with backing vocals supplied by Eric Wood) featured on 'Our Earth's Blood IV'; the five CD set released by insane LA based experimentalist Bastard Noise (put out by Cathartic Process). Also a savage 7" split with New York's Unearthly Trance, a tribute to legendary NYC doom outfit Winter, is soon to be released (on Dutch label Wolfsbane). Finally, a further split with Bastard Noise looms large on the horizon, as does Volition's long awaited second album, due to be released in 2010. Rejoice. Volition are Mark Burns on vocals & bass; Mark Burnett and Jas Murray on guitars; James Doyle on drums. Drawing deep on the misery of life in a raped and left-for-dead town, the future shines out black light for Volition, a band so beautifully pure and grim that they invigorate the honest amongst us and damn the idiots and liars to an eternity of mobile phone warehouses and vile celebrity makeovers... 成员 Vocals & Bass - Mark Burns Guitars - Mark Burnett Guitars - Jas Murray Drums - James Doyle Past Members Vocals - Dave Hodge Vocals - Paul Gibson
