Release Notes:
Men Eater came together as a band in a pretty casual way, in the back seat of a
van, while heading back home from a festival in Spain. Mike (guitar), Carlos
(guitar), SΘrgio (vocals) and BB (drums) all had different projects. By bouncing
ideas, all of a sudden, it struck them as a bolt of lightning why the fuck don't
we start a project together? It took shape in a day and became a reality on the
next. Without any plans on how to conquer the world or similar, they just shared
love for good music and enough inspiration to start writing the first songs
almost immediately. After five weeks of rehearsals and with bass player Joπo
already on board, they decided to record a self-titled EP. A vicious bomb of
sludge/crust riffs mixed with stoner and ambient influences. Gigging pretty
regularly, the quintet played all over the country sharing stages with names so
diverse as The Ocean or Madball and by the time they started writing new songs,
the buzz around them was already overwhelming. Unfortunately, around that same
time, the band decided to split with SΘrgio but that didn't stop them. Fuelled
by the excellent reactions they were getting, the four musicians with guitar
player Mike now also handling vocals faced the composition of new material with
a newborn confidence. ½HELLSTONE╗, the debut full-length record, is a perfect
reflection of that. The album contains ten powerful songs, which were built on
the foundation already set on the EP while also bringing a whole lot of
different influences to the table. ½HELLSTONE╗ was recorded at the infamous
BlackSheep Studios by Makoto Yagiu (If Lucy Fell, Riding Panico), mixed at the
Red Room Recording, Seattle, by Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes / Mouth Of
The Architect / The Coma Recovery) and mastered by Ed Brooks (Isis, Pearl Jam)
