About Pickaxe To The Forehead
«Pickaxe To The Forehead» is a grindcore/pornogrind (sometimes stated as bone remover cemetery pop) duo from Saldus, Latvia, consisting of two ex-coursemates of local vocational school Edgars (vocals, lyrics) and Rihards (guitar, bass line programming, drum track programming). The story of «Pickaxe To The Forehead» started at the beginning of hot summer month July in 2010. At that time both band members considered to set up a project for the grindcore/goregrind band called «Web Developers on Xanax». It was planned to include in the songs such nerdy issues like web development problems, annoying customers, shitty computer hardware (in fact both «supposed band’s» members that time were actually working as web developers) etc. Eventually the lack of decent equipment, lack of sound mastering skills and dissatisfying budget led to the suspension of the project. In the summer of 2011 guitarist Rihards started pornogrind solo project with a name «Anna'n'Ass», but that didn't last too long due to poor quality of the sound and therefore lack of interest. The idea for the band returned at the end of March in 2013 when the guitarist Rihards was finally able to record much better quality material for testing purposes. At the same time it was decided to place the nerdy issues aside and come up with completely different ideas. In January 2014 two tracks were finally released ― a demo track «The Yolocorpse Disposal Party» and the single «Buried Under Toilet Seat» under the name «Pickaxe To The Forehead». The quality of the sound was improved almost to the studio level in summer 2014 when vocalist Edgars bought Lexicon Alpha USB audio interface while he was working his ass off in the UK. Later that year Edgars found a way how to master and add more power to the pre-programmed drum sounds. In April 2015 there was released a single «Drowned in Human Stool» consisting of three tracks ― «Drowned in Human Stool», «Buried Under Toilet Seat» and «Mouth Diarrhea». On May 26, 2016 Rihards left the duo. This is not supposed to be taken seriously. If you do, we recommend you to find some kind of mental treatment. Technical data ― Guitar: Drop A or drop B tuning, played through VSTs, mostly NI Guitar Rig 5; Drums: Programmed on Toontrack ezDrummer with various add-ons; Bass: various VSTi plugins, sometimes a real bass guitar is recorded; Sound mastered on: FL Studio; Vocals recorded with: Chord CCU1 USB mic. Hail to the king, baby.
