Dallas, Texas electronic deathcore act THE BROWNING have just wrapped up a US tour with LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES and are now looking ahead to the release of the band's debut album.
THE BROWNING drummer NOAH "SHARK" ROBERTSON took some time out to speak about the band's unique fusion of metal and electronic music:
"It was inevitable that electronics would creep into metal, simply because you cannot ignore the natural evolution of technology. I mean, since the phonograph was invented back in the 1800s, we've seen a constant and relentless progression of recording technology and eventually electronic music and its incorporation into various genres, not just metal. It just makes sense! Computers have become more and more accessible and music software has advanced to astronomical heights. Lately, the metal world has seen increasing numbers of artists incorporating various synths, keyboards, and programmed computer parts into their music and it was only a matter of time before a band like The Browning came along to show the extreme music world where metal and electronics could go.
"Jonny McBee, the vocalist and founder of the band, is truly a musical genius in my opinion when it comes to layering keyboard parts and programming synths into the music. The techno and hardstyle compositions he creates are intended to be the main focal point of the band, and the other instruments merely provide a backbone for the electronics to stand on. That's not to say that the metal doesn't stand on its own though as well. People have called us everything from DeathTronica, ElectroDeath and CyberGrind to RaveCore, TechnoCore and TranceCore, but one thing remains certain - The Browning will be here for a long, long time and we will continue to push the envelope!"
THE BROWNING's as-yet untitled debut album was recorded with producer JOSH SCHROEDER (BENEATH THE SKY, LEGEND, A PLEA FOR PURGING, SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY) at Random Awesome Studios in Bay City, Michigan, and mixed by CAMERON MIZELL (I SEE STARS, WOE IS ME, SLEEPING WITH SIRENS). The album is due to be released on October 3rd on Earache Records.
