Mother Eel’s vs NICKELBACK has been remastered and reissued for the third time. And this time it’s sounding better than
ever.
More INTENSE. More live.
(Now featuring additional layers from the original recording omitted in previous versions.)
If you thought you’d heard vs NICKELBACK before, you’ll have to think again!!

Also, Mother Eel have a number of new projects in the works. Namely, a live EP recorded in 2011 at The Lewisham Hotel
(this will probably be a free online release, similar to vs NICKELBACK - but with FAR superior sound, and could also be
available as a limited cd) – at this stage with 15 tracks and just short of 40 minutes total duration; we are still finishing off
Total Fucking Svalbard - it could/should be released in 2012; and we’ll be working on a studio follow up to our live EP.. both
loathing filled.. which will serve as a recording experiment towards work on our full length album.
Perhaps a rough timeline is: Live EP, Total Fucking Svalbard, Studio EP, Studio Album.
With some live performances scattered in there somewhere. The live EP could see the dark of voids in early February.
It is about time to announce that the long talked about 7″, The Idiocy / Generosity Cycle, has not only a release date but also a performance to launch the precious piece of vinyl.
Mother Eel has been kindly requested, a request they did not refuse, to grace the stage of The Sandringham Hotel, 387 King St, Newtown, NSW for the annual event known as Slaughterfest. This year being the fourth year of Slaughterfest’s run and the number four having many significant meanderings, it all combined with a great line up to feature as a launch for Mother Eel’s vinyl release.
So Mother Eel will be launching the 7″ The Idiocy / Generosity Cycle on the 30/07/2011, both at the gig and through the record label Grindhead Records, which will post any release for free, worldwide.
 Mother Eel have a brand new set list to launch the 7" Slaughterfest also boasts giving away, to the first 100 payers through the door, a free CD containing tracks from each band that is on the event. Mother Eel is gushing to say that they recorded 2 tracks specifically for the release, so if you were to combine the 7″ with the Slaughterfest IV CD, you would have many new Mother Eel tracks to enjoy.
Elsewhere on the internet, it has been unveiled what the cover for the 7″ looks like. It’s probably an appropriate time to do so here…
The 7″ is limited to 100, hand numbered copies, all colour, all mastered by James Plotking (Isis, Khanate, OxLxDx) to bring out a big dense sound.
Looking forward to performing to you, subjecting you to our sales pitch and getting your ever-lasting admiration when you spin that disc.
 Kontoh - Pure Platinum Pure Platinum – Kontoh
Continuing in the same tradition as Dinner songs for lovers and Solid Gold,
Kontoh yet again brings another fabulous miracle to the forefront of musical creations.
Pure Platinum.
From the four corners of China comes the unique classic that will scintillate the spices and summon elegant Chinese poetry using sensual, erotic sounds from eastern myths, painted enthusiastically in pointillist expression by several buff, sunburnt gladiators only wearing fluro-green G-strings.
Kontoh, along with long time collaborator, Nakafuki Katsumi, take you through thirty two variations in one subtle, beautiful track.
Kontoh’s Pure Platinum is the fifty eighth (58th) album on the futuristic virtual record label, Crypt Designers Guild.
Music For Everyone.
We love you all.
There was a great turn out for the intense event that saw us go so far that we blew out the power of the venue. For those of you that didn’t experience such a spectacle, you have been offered the chance to live it through words and pixels, that’s all we’ve got left. We say it often and will repeat it here: you must get out and be at these things people!
Here are two reviews of the show:
Dude Rocket, “it didn’t let up until they left everyone for dead”
Mystic Metal, “And boy did they fucking bring it!”

I’m sure you’ve seen it elsewhere, otherwise, what kind of internet savvy person are you?
We’re announcing our return to the live scene. Here’s the details!!
SORE (Vic), Mother Eel, Inebrious Bastard, Kunvuk & McLovin
16th Of April, 2011, Lewisham Hotel, 794 Parramatta Rd, Lewisham
Doors open at 7:30pm, first band on 8pm
With a reputation that precedes them, SORE, from Victoria, will be showcasing their cruel form of music: featuring harsh tones and severe volume. Such is their live show that it has seen them banned from venues in Victoria. SORE has not returned to Sydney since their now infamous appearance in 2009. They are set to play this exclusive Sydney show and doom you all to oblivion.
Sydney’s most intense live band, Mother Eel, will be affirming their extreme notoriety that has previously seen them banned from several venues, making big-talking metalheads whimper while they scramble to escape the oppressive style of extreme metal. This gig will also welcome two new members to the band: Matt, adding a more caustic drumming style and Jo, bring more dissonance and volume through her guitar. Mother Eel has not played in Sydney in over a year and this is possibly their only Sydney Show this year.
Fast and violent, Inebrious Bastard, will punish the weak and the dumb. The band has developed a devoted following by forcing their abrasive version of art into the eyes and ears of those in attendance. Uncompromising and consistant, never failing to deliver on the talk of the previous show. Their spot on the night only adds to the already overly intense line up.

Bursting like the lords of time, or at least some form of mastering time signatures, Kunvuk, are showcasing their diverse style of metal. Thrashing, screaming, manic and enthusiastic, and possibly schizophrenic, all hailing from bands that formed the classics that you still worship today: jaws drop, necks snap.

Announcing the final band to fill out the night! McLovin are a new band with fierce, crusty aggression and it this only one of their first few shows. Pummelling beats hold together a chaotic performance that smashes through the sound system and makes your cliché band that’s posing in front of a brick wall clutch at their throat in an attempt to keep the blood from coming out, the tears are already there. Stripped down and dirty, fast but not too fast and with just enough sludge to support a toxic wasteland.

Nathan, Mother Eel
The long anticipated truest metal release of this year is finally in the final stages of being finalised. It’s about to be mailed off to the pressers, plastic being melted into extreme music and then returned to be sold only to the worthy! The release will be limited to an extreme limit of 100 copies. The date of availability is soon to be announced, but entirely dependent on efficiency.
To get a feeling of what’s going on, the band is willing to send you a free song off the 7″ with some artwork, so you can wet your palette for the impending date of the real thing.
All you have to do is send an email with “Generosity” in the subject to mothereel***@hotmail.com . (obviously remove the ***)
You don’t have to have anything else in the email, you can write messages of grimness, insults or threats and they will be responded to, but I know that you’re into business. You don’t have time to write a monologue, telling me about the weather, your lung infection or imminent failure to lose weight.
So get to it! You are pathetic, you need this.
For the press:
We will be providing digital versions for review. Contact us through the above email, or any other proper channel (ESP is not accepted) for a high quality release to be sent to you for your reviewing experience.
The Jesus Of Guitar, Mother Eel.
For some of you it’s heading towards Winter. We don’t want to tell you what to do, however, we would like to advise you about some options available. Perhaps you should wear some clothes. Things that you might not have known and really, really should. Ok… maybe you don’t need to know that much that badly.
Using the mostly biro ink intense artwork of The Jesus Of Guitar you can now show anybody who would look at your chest that you wear things labelled Mother Eel. Our research has shown that a fair few people not only look at your chest, but even make up judgements based on what they see there. Having the Mother Eel Logo displayed in such a position leads them to think of you as an individual supporter of extreme music with intelligence beyond your years and reading level. It was surprising for the Science Team to discover such a thing considering the means tested, average intelligence of your regular Death Metal, Hardcore, Sludge, Doom Grinder is rather low and rather herd-like. We’re safe in the assumption that they won’t be reading anything anytime soon, let alone this.
So visit Red Bubble to buy either a shirt, a girly fitted shirt, a hoodie or even a long sleeve. There are various colours and sizes available. They are reasonably priced and can be delivered anywhere in the world.
As an encouragement to attend more live shows (anybody’s show, not just ME shows – we can pack out any venue) there’s the option of purchasing the one design for $15. You just have to catch The Jesus Of Guitar and ram your filthy dollars into his pocket. He’ll then understand that this is a transaction taking place and will offer you a size that hopefully fits.
Thanks to Grace and Huw for modelling.
