Until recently, Russian band Grenouer who hail from St. Petersburg, have remained largely unknown outside their native Russia despite having 5 albums under their belt. They have achieved cult status in their homeland but have been able to penetrate the confines of the Iron Curtain not so long ago.
Grenouer’s history can be divided into 2 stages. The first being a Underground/Death Metal sound whilst the second can be described as more Modern & Progressive. The evolution of the band did not occur overnight, it developed over time through line up changes, more mature lyrics and vastly improved musicianship.
Grenouer’s debut album ‘Border of Misty Times’ was recorded in 1996 and was followed by ‘Gravehead’ (1999), ‘The Order O’Folly’ (2001) and ‘Presence with War’ (2003). None of these albums were released outside of Russia or what was then the former USSR. However, Grenouer regularly received positive reviews from a large number of Underground foreign publications. They recognized the bands excellent sound quality & good production and highlighted a death metal band who had an original concept.
In 2006 Grenouer released ‘Try’. With this album they finally broke away from the confines of Death Metal and achieved a more experimental sound by fusing polyrhythms into the structure of their songs as well as industrial influences. This album was well received worldwide by a large number of musical publications, including big names such as Hard Rock; Kerrang; Rock Sound & Metal Hammer, with the majority of critics drawing comparisons with Meshuggah & Fear Factory. In 2007 the band signed a contract with the British label Casket Music to formally release the album ‘Try’, finally bringing them into the international arena.
In parallel with all of these developments, Grenouer commenced working on new material with the intention of achieving far more. The recording took place in the Finnish Studio ‘Astia’ with the Producer Anssi Kippo (Children Of Bodom, Norther, Impaled Nazarene and more!) resulting in the new album titled ‘Lifelong Days’. This consisted of 11 original songs which combine modern metal, hardcore & rock bound together with intricate polyrhythmic components. The lyrics on this album represent all the hardships that the band have endured during their long career, but also touches on the issue that life is fleeting and the reality of this is inevitable.
At the beginning of 2008 Grenouer signed a record contract with Locomotive Records for them to release ‘Lifelong Days’ in both Europe and the USA, which opened up new horizons for the band. It is also important to note that Grenouer are not only a studio band but are also a highly accomplished live act. Within their vast homeland they have toured all the way from cold Siberia through to the Black Sea resorts and many times played abroad (Finland, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and other countries). Grenouer have performed at countless festivals along side bands such as All Shall Perish, Anathema, Behemoth, Cephalic Carnage, Cradle of Filth, Despised Icon, Entombed, Gloomy Grim, Hate, Malignant Tumour, Neurosis, Novembre, Pain, Primordial, Pro Pain, Psychotic Despair, Soilwork, Swallow the Sun, Sworn Enemy, Testament, The Berzerker, Tiamat, Trail of Tears, Warbringer and many more.
Grenouer are true professionals with real staying power and ability to create new and cutting edge music. .

“Malas
Temporadas” es el título del nuevo trabajo de Defectos Comunes, editado con el
sello Producciones Malditas.
A lo largo de los diez temas que conforman el álbum advertimos un sonido
cercano al postcore, salpicado de otras influencias más punk o incluso metal,
donde el desencanto y el pesimismo de las letras se combinan con la
contundencia vocal e instrumental, pero sin dejar de lado momentos más
melódicos: influencias como Nuevenoventaicinco o Berri Txarrak así lo
atestiguan.
Grabado los últimos días de 2008 de la mano de César Alberdi en un rincón del
norte donde la reconversión industrial aún forma parte del paisaje, hallando en
él viviendas abandonadas, cementerios de maquinaria obsoleta, polución y una
población un tanto retraída, lo que sumado al frío y la lluvia imperantes
aquellos días no hicieron sino agudizar la naturaleza de los temas que conforman
el disco.
Potencia y amargura destilan a partes iguales los diez cortes del cd a lo largo
de su escasa media hora, donde Defectos Comunes ofrecen su visión de lo que les
rodea, un mundo oxidado y enloquecido, sin escrúpulos y con un futuro poco
esperanzador.
La decadencia, la estupidez, el sufrimiento, la injusticia, la incertidumbre,
la melancolía, el error, la soledad...Malas Temporadas.
