One of them was on Ginger’s Mutation album, enough said?!
Originally formed by two frustrated drummers, Godzilla Black released their eponymous debut in 2010. Catching the attention of Ginger Wildheart, frontman John Cormack, was invited to contribute vocals to Ginger’s Mutation project alongside members of Napalm Death, Cardiacs and The Fall, which was later released on Mike Patton’s Ipecac Records.
2013 saw the release of the band’s second album “The Great Terror” on Triple Jump Records. The album featured contributions from drumming legend and Godzilla Black fan Dale Crover (Melvins and one time Nirvana sticksman) and Berlin based vocalist Suki Osman.
Summer 2014 saw a change in personnel within the band as drummer Matt Reid, (formerly of Leeds band Hawk Eyes) and bassist Dan Frazer joined to appear on upcoming album ‘Press The Flesh’. Recorded by Dan and mixed by the band, the album will be released on 1st April via Quisling Records. The video for ‘The other other white meat’ is the first taste of what to expect from the album. The band state:
John Cormack comments; ‘This is probably the most straight up rock record that we will ever make. It took us until our third album but we finally made a record that we can go out and play live with just four people – it’s almost like we’re a real band! Don’t worry though, there’s still a bit of messing about with synths and overdubs so it’s still a Godzilla Black record.’
Godzilla Black on ‘Press The Flesh’ are:
John Cormack – Vox/Guitar/Synths
Dan Frazer – Bass/Guitar/Production
Alex Nicholl – Saxophone/Guitar
Matt Reid – Drums
When not fronting Godzilla Black, John Cormack can also be found playing drums for Leeds band Hawk Eyes.
