War From A Harlots Mouth (meaning of the name, short bio, discography, highlights, …): We started War from a Harlots Mouth as a side-project just for the fun of it in late 2005. At this time we were a three-piece and looking for a second guitar player and a bass player. This wasn’t successful first, so we recorded the songs for our demo tape and the split with Molotov Solution still as a three-piece, but with a new drummer. After we finished the recording process, we found two dudes for the missing instruments and started preparing for the first shows.
Meanwhile 12 Gauge Records from California, USA offered us to release the recorded material and we agreed. We started playing more and more shows and soon got in touch with Lifeforce Records. Luckily they signed us and soon after that we finished writing the last tracks for our full length debut and recorded it.
A few more months later we played a European tour with Dying Fetus, Skinless and Cattle Decapitation and also a few shows with Ion Dissonance, Dead to Fall and Through the Eyes of the Dead. That was a real blast!
This is were we are now…waiting for the Album to be released in September and waiting for the next tour, that starts on august 6th.
The name “War from a Harlots Mouth” is dealing with a liar. It’s a complicated way to describe a lying person, but yeah…we like it complicated. ;)
“Transmetropolitan” (rehearsing / writing process, recording process, label, …): We started writing the first songs for “Transmetropolitan” just after the first studio session. With the addition of Filip and Daniel we were able to get deeper into the guitar work and work everything out with more details. We finally got a studio date for February 2007. At the end of 2006 our drummer unfortunately got a thrombosis in his arm, so we had to take a little time off. Finally we had to write the last few songs within two or three weeks. The recording process took 3 and a half week and went well.
With Lifeforce Records as our label we are really happy. We all grew up with their roster and they were our first choice, when we thought about looking for a label. Working together is a pleasure and it’s getting more and more exciting with a release date, coming closer and closer.
Lyrics (influences, subjects, ideas, messages, …): The lyrics of “Transmetropolitan” deal with a lot of social relationships of all kind, connected to the social life in big cities and communities. They are mainly influenced by the experiences we made and our life within our social surrounding. Sometimes the lyrics are easy to understand, “Fighting Wars with Keyboards” for example deals with Internet- and Community-Heroes, fighting wars nobody needs. “Heeey…let’s start a Band” is dealing with trends and their blind followers. Other lyrics, sometimes, are a lotta more personal, but all in all it’s not too difficult to understand, what we want to say and the messages are clear.
Album frontcover / artwork (who, why, meaning, …): Bastibasti is the name of the artist, who created it and the whole artwork is coming out awesome! We just told him the name of the record and that it should be connected to cities and city-life in a weird and gloomy way. The cover itself is a capital as we see it: Big, dirty and devouring.
Live tour to promote the new record: We’ll play a summer tour through the UK, Belgium and Germany in august to pre-promote the record. You can see us on some festivals, too…the Summer Breeze Open Air for example. Check our touring schedule on www.myspace.com/warfromaharlotsmouth, to be up to date! ;)
Musical (and other) influences: Well… we are influenced by a lot of artists and music generally. We love to listen to a lot of different genres: Hip Hop, Hardcore, Metal, Ambient, Jazz, Singer / Songwriter, Southern Rock and what not. Finally technical Metal, chaotic Hardcore and Jazz our main influences for this band.
Final Message: Thx a lot for the interview. Check out our MySpace for everything, you maybe need to know! We hope to see some of you on tour in the near future…say hello!
