iwrestledabearonce Go ‘Black Metal’ With New Album
iwrestledabearonce appear to either be playing a joke or have decided to become a black metal outfit. A press release sent out earlier today featured the following quote from band guitarist Steven Bradley:
“We were sick of getting lumped in with ‘scene’ and ‘whatever-core’ bands, so we decided to embrace our roots and just go straight black metal on the new album. I’d say 90% of the new record is straight-up black metal, so we had to change our image to match…Because of course that’s just as important, if not more so, than the music.”
New material from the groups forthcoming album will debut online later this week.

oh yeah, the new song I’ve seen/heard 3 weeks ago live was TOTALLY black metal.
He states that their image is possibly more important than the music. Hmmm. At least he’s candid.
They should also change their name too. How about “Iwasinagreatbandnever”?
@Viking, I think your sarcasm detector is broken.
yeah they’re defiantly doing this as a joke in regards to the state of music these days.
In one of the press photos (21 of 37) of them in all their Black Metal ambience…um…well…am I just out of it or is that the lead singers tit? Clearly my mind is in the gutter or am suffering from a horrible case of TSB. Either way nice they have humor.
This band is a one hit wonder, smells like kevin bacon was the best thing they released, everything else was pretty garbage
@wearesorta138. I saw it, not so much nipple but for sure some of the outter “sand dollar” anyway. good eye sir, good eye!
ps. is that a Misfits 138 that you sorta are? if so, NICE!
and yes AMeN, they are loosing that D.E.P. rip off shine that I once liked about them. now they seem just… lame. perhaps some more T’s would help their sound.
The only impressive thing about this band is the fact that the lead singer can hit so many consecutive flat notes when she sings. Just effortless. I’d rather listen to a baby crying in auto-tune.
Eh… I think they are a lot better and unique than most of the new crap in metal. I actually got into their last album, and the new song they previewed today has interesting parts to it.
@Will. Yes on the Misfits and a sigh of relief on the “Huh, I’m staring far too long on this pic and need confirmation” request.
They should REALLY change their style and break up.
