With the music world embroiled in turmoil like never before the time is ripe for a new musical entity to take over the airwaves.
An outfit that embodies everything good about music and one that refuses to take a back seat to ANYTHING.
In an era where all seems lost and the future looks bleak, the music community requires saving like never before, and from the ashes of potential oblivion, a new metal outfit is threatening to rise.
An outfit that comprises members such as General Jerkhov, Adidasshole, Tiny D, Binman, Monkeybird and C-Man; names which, while not a household feature just yet, threaten to explode in such a way that their name - The Violent Inzident - could soon become more commonly uttered than COVID 19.
They are a band with a simple plan to dominate your very musical essence and promise to do so whether you invite it or not.
After news tentatively broke on Facebook a couple of weeks ago, HEAVY tracked down General Jerkhov (a.k.a Andre Joyzi from Breed 77) and his sidekick Tiny D to deliver a barrage of questions which were met with scepticism and contempt in some quarters but will serve to outline the second coming of a musical enigma that will bow down to no man.
"There is no secrecy involved with this band," spat General Jerkhov when pressed on details. "We just didn't exist before, and now we do!"
"It's brand new and nu, so fuck you," added frontman Tiny D.
"That's nu, N U, by the way," Jerkhov interjected. "N U."
Which is the first indication of the musical direction The Violent Inzident will take.
They are said to be the world's first-ever Post-Nu-Metal supergroup, and possibly the best thing to ever come out of the U.K. With a blending of rock, hard rock, metal, rap and nu-metal, The Violent Inzident promise to re-invigorate the nu-metal genre one song at a time. Their goals are relatively simple but should prove to be ultimately effective.
"The tourists got over nu-metal in 2002," explained Tiny D. "Not us. We looked inside ourselves, got some really expensive therapists and totally got over all of our daddy issues and breakups and shit. When you take away all the bullshit, you’re only left with the distilled gold nuggets of brain ideas, you get me bruh? Some 'experts' think we never grew up, but they can suck it."
According to reports, some of the band members will be wearing masks to conceal their identities, a move that sounds sneakily like some of the band's contemporaries.
"The real reason," clarified Tiny D, "is because they are all ugly and everyone knows pretty boys can't play instruments. Look at Slipknot or Kiss when they took their masks off... it was pretty grim!"
When I point out that from photos I have seen the two very people I am speaking to now are the only two members of the band to be mask free, Tiny D's tone softens.
"We are the heartthrobs of the band, obviously," he purred. "Some people will think that means we’re not talented as fuck too, but they can suck it. I’m not ugly as fuck...AM I?!?"
"You're pretty in an interesting way," Jerhov comforted him, which thankfully seemed to settle down a potentially troubling point of the interview.
Desperate to get to the bottom of the whole identity thing, I press Jerkhov on whether the band is worried, given the fact the masked members are actually high profile members of existing bands, that a diehard fan might recognise them by a distinguishing feature, thus destroying the mysticism the band has worked so hard to create.
"They basically don’t want the rest of the members of their respective bands to be jealous that they’re doing something better," Tiny D interrupted. "When this shit goes global they can suck it. They’ll probably queue up...
