Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 61: Xander Bradley of Slimelord (Yorkshire, England)
Manage episode 437400547 series 2912897
In this episode, we speak to Xander Bradley of “swamp death” band Slimelord. Xander explains that while Slimelord’s earlier EP’s “The Delta Death Sirens”, “Moss Contamination”, and “Insurmountable Peril” all have vocals, these vocals consist of improvised noises rather than written lyrics. And so, in preparation for the release of their first album, “Chytridiomycosis Relinquished”, Xander describes how he approached composing the band’s first set of official lyrics. Beyond simply writing lyrics, Xander constructed a whole backstory for this album focusing on the trials of an adventurer who looks to cure the world of a disease with the help of a demon-toad. This epic tale is told through both highly academic vocabulary including Latinate scientific animal genus/species names and technical jargon describing amphibian disease, as well as references to contemporary video games like Bloodborne and Elder Scrolls. These combined practices constitute lyrics that draw listeners down into the swampy depths.
