The time is finally upon us... Here is the official line that's doing the rounds:
"PseudoNympho, who have a name that I find equally weird and appealing, knock down the doors of traditional rock and roll and slam the listener repeatedly over the head with heavy music that is thankfully also intelligent and insightful." - Heavy Metal Time Machine
Taking inspiration from a range of music, anything from Mastodon to Neil Young, ‘Accident of Birth’ is the first single off their debut album ‘Eponym’. ‘Eponym’ will be comprised of thirteen full length tracks-five of which were composed by each member individually-
and will be accompanied by a short book written by bassist and vocalist, Rio and guitarist, Sam. ‘Accident of Birth’ is the first single from the upcoming album; a dialogue between someone who makes consumer goods and someone who buys them, coming from vastly contrasting worlds the two try to interpret each other’s existence that neither have any control over.
Writing of personal experiences as well as political narrative, ‘Eponym’ can be described as nothing but a proper metal album. There are heavy riffs, face melting solos, deep vocals and deeper lyrics. Songs like ‘Sunshine and Lollipops’ and ‘Big Enough for Rehab’ are a metal fans dream, energetic drums and vocals and shredding guitar, all neatly divided with intricate interludes like ‘Zaphod Beeblebrox’s Morbid Prophecy’ and ‘Lunch’. As for ‘Accident of Birth’- after a gentle introduction you’re hurled into the oceans of musical talent that is PseudoNympho. With killer riffs, reminiscent of those of an early Alice in Chains or Pantera, accompanied by thumping beats and some classic metal vocals ‘Accident of Birth’ is a great taste of what’s still to come from PseudoNympho.
