CHILD is a trio of jam-obsessed first-class musicians, who
met in 2012 in the rock underground of Melbourne. Between the three working
class Australians Mathias (guitar/vocals), Michael (drums) and Jayden (bass),
who can best be described as a blues fanatic with liquid steel as blood, grew
as strong a musical band as a group of Musicians can only cultivate and nurture
themselves by the unabated urge for intense jamming. It quickly became clear
that songs here would not be created simply as architectural objects on the
drawing board, but as a result of a deep dialogue between three conspiratorial
individuals who have given their instruments speech. From this dialogue, the self-titled debut resulted in the winter
of
2014, which, in addition to the CD, also received a top-notch vinyl copy of
the well-known cult label Kozmik Artifactz. On the bandcamp page of the band,
this blues-doom hammer has since then entered the hearts of the buyers, which
is evidenced by a steadily growing number of supporter reviews. The enthusiasm for CHILD became so
international in a short time that the band escaped the red continent in 2014
and 2015 and also crashed European clubs and festivals with their brutal sound.
In these few but very busy years, CHILD have already contested 145 shows, among
others. Also a tour of Indonesia. There they appeared in some places as the
first internationally active band at all, which led to partly adventurous
events.
The “Blueside”
In the spring of 2016 CHILD’s dialogue was resumed,
but with a new bassist, Danny Smith, also recruited from the circle of friends.
On the self-imposed goal of the band, nothing had changed: the magical
intensity of the CHILD-liveshows was to be transferred intimally and unbuilt to
the new recordings, and a sluggish, sonorous power that made the good old doom
metal pale was a perfect protoplasm, which Mathias was able to inoculate many
very lively blues cells with his singing and guitar playing after black swamp
blues. The
two-month recording process, a live recording with just enough space for
bluestypic improvisations, resulted in a refreshing contrast to the currently
booming heavy blues rock, because, irrishingly, “Blueside” creates a very
primordial blues full of expressive power even more strongly in the foreground and
still to speak also of true doomfans, which the underlying cause of all
instruments plays directly into the entrails.
