Record Store Day 2021 (Drop 2)
The Bristol experimental band are recording two new songs onto a two track EP, live and direct to vinyl at Metropolis Studios - and BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq show is giving fans the chance to listen in on this unique live performance.
Recording ‘live to vinyl’ is the original process that artists used to record music for public consumption. There’s no modern technology, it’s simply playing and recording the songs in one take. In today’s digital age, the art of capturing music live to vinyl has long been forgotten, but Metropolis have recreated the experience using their unique cutting lathes.
Contents and tracklist
To accompany the unrestrained awesomeness of DC's 'Dark Nights: Death Metal' comic series, execute producer/composer Tyler Bates (Guardians of the Galaxy, John Wick) presents the 'Dark Nights: Death Metal' soundtrack. Directly inspired by the comic series' storyline, the diverse soundtrack illuminates the darkest corners of each DC character's psyche. Much like the comic series isn't the typical superhero storyline, its musical counterpart isn't the typical superhero soundtrack. Artists such as Mastodon, Denzel Curry, Manchester Orchestra, Chelsea Wolfe, IDLES, and Soccer Mommy took a hands-on approach in its creation, contributing songs inspired by the text.
