FATTOOTH Debut To Feature Drum Legend Gene Hoglan
February 4, 2009, 15 years ago
Canadian metal/crossover act FATTOOTH will be releasing their self-titled debut on March 24th via Reversed Records.
The band's history is revealed in a press release: "Originally, it was three guys solid (bassist Mihran Boudakian, singer Hucifer and guitarist George Xipoleas), beating out sound and going deaf with a multitude of half ass drummers in Montreal, Canada. Their work was enough to get producer and Juno award winning engineer Rob Shallcross (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, GWAR, MAN MADE MOUNTAINS, MR. PLOW) interested in the project, after having worked with the talents of Hucifer back in grungy old Winnipeg in the late 90‘s. The guys in Montreal sent Shallcross the material they had recorded and Hucifer started tracking the vocals in Vancouver, between planting Trees on the West Coast of Canada, Gene Hoglan (DEATH, DETHLOK, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, ZIMMER’S HOLE) flew in, pounded out the drum tracks and ate a bunch of Sushi. The remaining two flew in to complete the job that had been started in Magma Studios in January 08, hence the self titled debut album. The three discovered a suitable replacement for Gene in Costa Dimitroulis and are currently banging out shows to sweaty, drunk, awestruck audiences. This album will be released in the U.S in conjunction with over 40 dates in 23 states."
Fattooth tracklisting: 'Big Daddy', 'Rock Around The World', 'High Time At Low Tide', 'Bacteria', 'Red Neck Metal Head', 'Gunned By Noon', 'Slave', 'Shitzami', 'The More Machine'.
