Created in 1990 as a sountrack to the ritual murders being committed at the time, EVIL MOTHERS welcomed us to the Texan darkside, where fact and fiction are a blurred reality of tribal rhythms and melodic noise.
In the summer of 1995, EVIL MOTHERS headlined the notorious Invisible Route 666 Tour. The twisted brainchild of Martin Atkins and Curse Mackey, the well-received tour (which featured several Invisible acts including PSYCHIC TV) hit 51 cities and bolstered the band's evergrowing fanbase. To coincide with the tour, Invisible released the Invisible Route 666 compilation CD which featured 3 tracks from EVIL MOTHERS' 1994 album Pitchforks and Perverts. It was this release (produced by Martin Atkins and recorded at the renowned Chicago Trax Studio) that established EVIL MOTHERS as one of the most exciting and innovative 'industrial?' bands on the circuit.
EVIL MOTHERS' 1992 debut, the Lee Popa (MINISTRY) produced Crossdresser, effectively captured the enthusiastic Tribal-Industrial-Punk essence of the young band. With the release of I Like Fur, the band continues to transcend the Industrial, Metal, and Alternative Rock genres with their own mix of realism and surrealism.
FLASH FORWARD TO 1997....the killings continue.
The Spirits continue to inspire this nocturnal gallery of perverts with their latest incantation, Spider Sex and Car Wrecks; an ectoplasmic body of work that feeds on the literary bones of J.G. Ballard, (f.y.i......recent film "Crash"....banned in the UK), Von Sacher-Masoch, Katherine Dunn, Tod Browning, and Jim Jones among others.
Coupled with Evil Mothers trademark aural sects (including drum-circles, analogs & sick strings) and heavy knocking beats - some of which are courtesy of Martin Atkins - a carnival of percussion transpires. Loaded with menacing samples, twisted subcultural lyrics, oil drums and bagpipes, Evil Mothers create a massive wall of sound. On This journey through the darkside, with Atkins also serving as executive producer, the band's already complex songwriting is taken to another level.
Aggressive, hypnotic, and tribal, Spider Sex and Car Wrecks captures the power of the Evil Mothers live show. An energy that has been with the band since they first began kickin' up dust along the border of Texas an hell in 1992.
