Product Information
Astonishingly, the fiery rampage of Asomvel's metal-punk-rock'n'roll masterpiece Knuckle Duster marks 20 years since these British bruisers first started jamming on a pig farm with a load of Special Brew. Formed in 1993 by guitarist Lenny Robinson and bassist / vocalist Jay-Jay Winter, Asomvel's first drummer was ex-Cathedral / Acid Reign man Mark Wharton, but "about ten" more came and went before the band recorded their first demo in 2001. After 2007's Full Moon Dog 10" the power trio managed to thrash out their raucous debut LP Kamikaze in 2009 to much acclaim, Asomvel firmly establishing themselves as underdog cult heroes of the UK HM underground. When Will Palmer started up Bad Omen Records in 2013, his formative ambition was to coax a new album out of Asomvel, sending them into the studio with producer James 'Atko' Atkinson (also frontman of Leeds rockers Gentleman's Pistols). "We wrote all the stuff really quick, off the cuff," says Lenny. "All the songs came together very easy, we didn't have to force anything. I would say it took no longer than 10 minutes a piece to get the basic songs. We didn't try to jazz 'em up, we purposely kept them very basic, cos we like simplicity and we like it in the groove." Consequently, Knuckle Duster is a focused and fat-free expression of pissed off, Tanked-up, Venomous Motorized fury, but Atko wraps it up in a first class 'iron fist in a velvet glove' production job, lending raw and dirty headbangers like Dead Set On Livin', Cash Whore (featuring some of Jay-Jay's last lyrics) and Shoot Ya Down a vital, resounding sonic heft, while powerhouse drummer Jason Hope pushes every song to the next level: "We really had to step it up, 'cos he's on it all the time," Lenny enthuses. "There's no way we could've even dreamt of doing this album if we didn't have Jason, he plays like a demon on this record."
