What do Atari Teenage Riot and Blut Aus Nord have in common? Uh, hard to tell, but Sailors With Wax Wings and Pyramids mastermind R. Loren knows the connection and would probably wax scholastically — existential attributes reinforced by repetition — about it. Turns out when R. Loren isn’t busy with bridging shoegaze/post-punk and black/doom metal, or picking and dropping off his daughter (see his Day in the Life of… Part I here), he’s break beating and corpse paint wearing like he’s downtown Olso in White Moth. Actually, he’s from Northeast Texas, but the dude jettisons quality genre-smashing combos without fail. Not that geographic location has anything to do with musical perspective or output, but I digress.

Enjoy Decibel’s exclusive premiere of White Moth’s “Smiles Warm Red Light” video.

    I don’t know man. Is it “metal” , as such? I guess that shouldn’t necessarily be the denominator ( that’s the name of my own “metal” cassette project, btw), but this stuff just doesn’t resonate with the “we stand apart” soul of metal, as I understand it. It’s like art school drop-out music; they couldn’t deal with Cannibal Corpse, but could dig Burzum cause it was like and eco-warriors’ MBV, and also sort of ironic. Or “post-ironic”.
    End of rant.
