Methedrine - No Solution No Salvation [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.

The first idea of the Methedrine project takes form after '80s crossover/d-beat pioneers Upset Noise disbands after a brief reunion in 2017. Drummer Bone, singer Lou and recently acquired guitarist Mark start looking for new elements for a fresh start and a new band. They find them in Dario (guitar) and Bob (bass): the watchwords are Motorhead, first thrash and HC attitude. In a few months material is arranged for a brand new repertoire and the five veterans are ready for their first live. A sample of the setlist is published in the Build For Speed EP in March 2018. After a couple of years spent spreading their message on the stages (of Italy, Belgium and Croatia), tensions build up inside the band, which results in Bone and Mark leaving the project. The remaining three don't waste any time and their quest for a new drummer ends with Nik responding to the call. It's Methedrine 2.0, that keeps up with the d-beat/crossover legacy, yet expanding their sonic landscape with darker and broader influences. A full length LP is ready and will be released at the beginning of 2024 under Time To Kill label.

No Solution is our first full length, 10 tracks injected with all the ferociousness we were capable of. Throughout the disk a weird balance is kept between our eternal boys' lust for metal and our rock&roll old dogs' musical sensitivity. Granting a product that's anything but monotonous and predictable there's also our belonging to different generations: Lucio is grown up in the '80s, Dario and Bob in the '90s and Nik in the 2000s.

In order to make it all even more sparkling we got involved a few old friends of ours with some featuring: there's Fabione from Hobos, Mark from Eu's Arse e Tytus (as well as former Methedrine), Domenico from Fulci/FYE and Samall Slander.

This record tells about our growth as musicians and as a band, it tells about rising from the ashes of a drastic change in the line-up, and about the gained confidence: the confidence to range freely among any musical genre we like.

D-beat, thrash and punk keep being the common thread of our music, but now there are blackened splashes (A Massgrave for my Dreams), Cannibal (Sugar Pie) and Obituary (Matapuercos) influences...

In between the first EP and nowadays there has been the lockdown, slamming our face against climate change, the Society of the Spectacle getting more and more cynical and an economic system which shamelessly crushes and grinds human beings. No Solutions talks about how one feels in the midst of all this, and it talks heart in hand.

No Solution is a record which celebrates the dignity of despair, for it's only by letting go even hope, that one can truly be free.
