- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Mandeville, LA - Nocturnal Records is proud to announce Deluge Songs- the
second US release by Scottish rockers Terra Diablo. Nocturnal Records will
unveil the much-anticipated follow up to their self-titled debut on September
18th 2007 to be unleashed through Sony/RED Distribution.
Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Terra Diablo is an alternative rock band that
has been compared to the likes of everything from Swervedriver (whoÆs drummer
actually manages the act) to Foo Fighters and Silversun Pickups. Already
towering over their Glaswegian counterparts, it is easy to see how NME
championed the group as, ôthe height of avant-rock excellence.ö Based on the
strength of the new album, Deluge Songs will be featured in their entirety on
it's own channel on all British Airways flights during the month of
September, along with on-air interviews and in-flight magazine coverage.
Produced by Jeremy Parker (Evanescence, Mudvayne, Otep) with help from Dave
Fortman (Evanescence, Mudvayne, Otep) and a track mixed by UK Producer Paul
Savage (Mogwai, Malcolm Middleton, Arab Strap), Deluge Songs is Terra
DiabloÆs most compelling work to date. Blending heavy guitar-driven hooks and
sharp intellectual lyrics, Deluge Songs is poised to be the next breakout
record from the UK.
Tracks from their US debut were included in November 2006 in both the CMJ New
Music and FMQB sampler CDs. Radio went 5 songs deep on the album, with the
band charting on the FMQB Sub Modern Albums chart - 21 in week 4, 16 in week
5.
The Quartet toured with acts like Snow Patrol, The Subways, Idlewild and All
American Rejects. They have also played their share of internationally
acclaimed festivals such as Leeds Festival, Reading Festival, T in The Park
and they performed at the BBC ScotlandÆs 25th Anniversary Show. Their
powerful live show and extensive touring throughout Europe earned them their
US debut performance- a slot at Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans with
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flaming Lips, Secret Machines and more.
"The Terra Diablo disc has got to be one of the top 5 rock discs of this
year. I cannot - and WILL NOT - stop listening to it." - Adam 12 Radio
Practitioner - Weekdays 9a-2p, 104.1 WBCN in Boston
ôPerhaps what is most striking about Deluge Songs is the juxtaposition
between irreverent, optimistic aggressiveness and a yearning dreaminess.ö û
Transmission
"[Deluge Songs] is the perfect mix of shoegazing swirly reverb, grungy olÆ
regular rock and catch Britpop sass." û Riverfront Times (St. Louis)
ôGlasgowÆs answer to alt-pop punk rock.ö û New York Post
ôàwall-to-wall arena ready soundàö û Isthmus (Madison)
ôàthe band explodes into a roar of guitars that propels Ian FaircloughÆs
vocal like a pipeline cresting over a tidal wallö - Isthmus (Madison)
ôàrapid-fire punk-pop infectiousness, a metal snarl and even a lilting
acoustic tenderness.ö û The Grand Rapids Press
ôDeluge Song starts off with an ethereal-sounding piano before launching into
harsh vocals and raunchy guitars for the climax of the album.ö - Caught In
The Carousel
ôThe guitars are loud and in-your-face, the rhythms driving and hard, and
yet...the band somehow manages to keep catchy melodies placed squarely center
stage.ö - Babysue
ôTerra Diablo flaunt its seemingly effortless grasp on working guitar-piloted
hooks and radio-friendly accessibility.ö - Aversion
"Terra Diablo has what it takes to get its foot in the American door. The
proof is in Deluge Songs. Catchy, punchy, and effortlessly accessible." û
Aversion
ôThe tracks breath with soul and life. The tonal painting is one of thick
brush strokes rather than finely laced licksàö û Downtown Money Waster
