FIVE COPIES OF FUTILITY’S SECOND ALBUM THE VIEW FROM HERE
Futility will launch their second full-length album, The View From Here, at The Basement on Saturday June 9 with support from Myraeth (Sydney), Katabasis (Sydney) and Tranquil Deception.
The album is being released by Tactical Solutions Records, a Canberra label belonging to Dan Nahum. He established the label ‘to deliver intelligent and obscure underground music to discerning listeners’ (or so its motto goes). It's a labour of love for Dan and Futility leapt at the chance to have him on board.
Futility guitarist Kurt Neist has a ‘project studio’ (spare bedroom) where he does recording for bands (Boonhorse, Law of the Tongue, Bleakwood, Greed & Rapacity etc. – a lot of Canberra metal bands) and the album was recorded there over a 12 month period.
It’s a fiercely local project for a fiercely local band. As they write: “We find the metal scene in Canberra to be small but dedicated and passionate. While it's great to play to a full house, the best local shows have a small bunch of guys going absolutely nuts and getting involved in the music. This is infinitely preferable to playing to a larger crowd standing around with their arms crossed and steadfastly refusing to have a good time because the music doesn't meet some imaginary 'hipness' criteria.”
So here’s the product of that grounded, straightforward ethos and 12 months of work: The View From Here. Courtesy of the guys in the band we have five copies to give away. To win one all you have to do is email
allan@bmamag.com with the three adjectives the band has chosen to describe their music.
