The members of Schneersohn are yeshiva students in Crown Heights, NY. We are reluctant to release our real names, as our Rabbis might mistake our music for a mockery of the Rebbe and would certainly expel us from school.
Influences
Darkthrone, early Satyricon, Nile, Ulver, The Lubavitcher Rebbe (ZT"L).
The band Schneersohn was founded by four yeshiva students in Crown Heights, NY. Taking their name from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (ZT"L), the band is bringing the message of the Rebbe to the world through the most powerful form of music in existance -- Black Metal.
It has not been an easy birth for this band -- there are virtually no avenues to promote this genre of music, and the band cannot play shows in their hometown for fear of being recognized. Even still, Schneersohn has built a solid following amongst Jewish youth through word of mouth alone. A possible East Coast tour is in the works for the summer of 2005.
Schneersohn is currently recording their debut 6-song E.P., which will be available through mail order. The track listing is as follows:
1. The Rebbe's Grave
2. Golem
3. Six Day War
4. Martyrs of Auschwitz
5. Creeping Death (Metallica cover)
