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.
