Snow Premiere “Prensado” From Fast ‘n’ Heavy Loud ‘n’ Slow out Jan. 20

snow

The ethic is laid forth immediately: skate fast, die hard. Such is the title and repeated opening lyric of the first track on Snow‘s debut album, Fast ‘n’ Heavy Loud ‘n’ Slow, and over the next two minutes or so, the quarantine-era project headed by Rodrigo Neves with Rodrigo Borba and Andrez Machado elbow their message into the consciousness in a fashion that’s likewise catchy and blown out. In a time of limited movement due to pandemic lockdowns, it’s not hard to see what might’ve been the motivation behind Neves getting the band “together” — in the socially-distant sense, anyhow — in that the eight-track release runs a brash and bruised 24 minutes and purposefully aligns itself with a heavily distorted skate punk attitude. Though by no means emotionally driven in surface theme, there’s a palpable sense of release across the board.

That’s true in the post-early-C.O.C. chug and scorched lead work of “Prensado,” the pick-slide-into-full-sprint of “Perfect Lies,” the knuckledragging lumber of “Nowhere Fast” and the feedback wielded so capably in the crunch of “Paradoxical Conflicts.” snow fast n heavy loud n slowTracks are blown out and laden with intent, and because of the latter, I’m not willing to simply write this off as a case of fuckall and leave it at that. “Escape From Brasil,” the longest cut at 3:44 (the version on Bandcamp is 5:11, and also the running order is different), brings a deceptive depth of mix with guitars ringing behind the central stomp like a siren unless I’m hearing things and in that song and the subsequent “Good Vibez From Hell” there are undertones of almost proto-metal, the latter coming through in its back end with the album’s slowest crawl as though to make sure all sides of the title were duly represented before “Crying Lies” rounds out with one more sub-three-minute primitive blast.

All of Snow‘s social media aligns around the ID ‘snow.hates.you,’ which is kind of a downer sentiment, but fair enough. In addition to living up to the four descriptors of their debut album in the music, I guess they’re also willing to make the URL real, since the track that’s supposed to be a premiere below has been on Bandcamp already for I don’t know how long. Does it matter? Not really. This is the third single from the record and they’ve got a stream booked for the full LP, so at best it’s a stopgap I pushed for because I wanted something cool to accompany a few words about the album coming out and I dug the sound. If anyone feels like calling it out that the song’s already out there, you earn a hearty shrug from me. I ain’t in charge of everything.

But the record’s right on and that’s what matters. And you can hear “Prensado” in the player below, and I’ve included the Bandcamp stream for the other tracks as well. Whole thing’s due out Jan. 20.

Enjoy:

Snow, “Prensado” official track premiere

SNOW will release the heavy and energic debut album “Fast N´Heavy Loud N´Slow” on January,20 ; listen “Prensado”

On the next 20th of January, the project SNOW will release their first studio album. “Fast N´Heavy Loud N´Slow” brings eight tracks of a sound divided between the speed and the frenetic weight of Hardcore and Skate Punk, and the slow and dense slowdown of tempo of Stoner and a little Sludge, in just over half an hour of release.

A project headed by Rodrigo Neves (from the band Tigersharks) and recorded / performed during the quarantine, SNOW also has the participation of Andrez Machado and Rodrigo Borba, each one contributing with a part of the sound recorded at distance. The influences according to Rodrigo range from Black Flag to Eyehategod, and also include names like Revolution Mother, Nebula and The Shrine. A perfect soundtrack for a Skate ride packed with lots of smoke.

“Fast N´Heavy Loud N´Slow” will be available on the main digital platforms on January, 20.
