About:

Menfolk is the sound of defiant, adversarial, complex rock that can not easily be tamed. Rumbling, rattling and down right angry - sometimes it feels good to just to let loose. Menfolk lets loose on the new album "Beast One / Man Nil".

"Beast One / Man Nil" is Menfolk's long awaited sequel to the massive debut album, "Colossus". 5 years have passed and we haven't seen or heard much from these guys. But Menfolk has never been a band that let demand dictate the output: Records are released when they are ready, and concerts are played when the right time comes. This attitude can be heard on Menfolks new album. This band is not sucking up to anyone. This is not radio friendly rock, not young fashion punk, not cool laid back rock or the soundtrack to a rebellious generation. The four strange fellows in Menfolk drag the listener around by their ears on the 10 tracks of the album by means of guitar feedback, twisted drum beats and fierce texts about life and death. Menfolk do not make compromises - for this recording Menfolk even designed and built a lot of the equipment them selves - and the artwork for Beast One / Man Nil displays some of this equipment.

Menfolk has once again produced the album themselves but unlike previous recording sessions Menfolk decided to not be all alone on the recordings of this album. Building on the successful cooperation that Per Chnöeldh of Menfolk and Jakob Reichert Nielsen have experienced on previous releases (Lack "Saturate Every Atom", Rising etc.) Menfolk decided to invite Jacob in. Jacob participated in the first recording sessions and has subsequently been responsible for mixing the album. Bob Weston (Shellac) has been responsible for the gentle mastering that really gets the music "out", while keeping the dynamics of the recording.

Menfolk has existed since 1999 and consists of drummer, guitarist / singer and two bassists. Outcome of the unconventional line-up with two bassists is edgy aggressive rock in its own form and expression. Complexity, noise and nerve lay the foundation of this music, which does not let itself be confined by the limitations of conventional rock. It ́s an anarchic take on the sound of rock when set free from all constraints.
