about
Full digital album available at deepelmdigital.com/album/paperking
An isolated pandemic recording session in a small wooded cabin has unleashed "Paperking", the glorious, guitar-drenched album by Swedish-based post-hardcore / screamo / skramz outfit WLOTS. Against a backdrop of snarling pain, awareness and gut-wrenching emotion, "Paperking" offers a unique take on this genre's roots with a sound that harkens back to the early 2000’s while retaining a firm foothold in the band's dark and dreamy modern world. Delivering on the promise shown on their debut "Sempre Piu" with a fresh collection of 13 killer tracks crafted with sincerity, unflinching fury and stellar production, this incredible follow-up is a must-listen for anyone who welcomes genuine, legitimate, true emotion.
"The album is a collection of sad musings about life lived in contempt of others, authoritative figures in particular, and trying to let go of that anger. 'Paperking' is written from the perspective of the oppressor...someone whose claim to power is without warrant and unable to withstand challenge. We want the listener to despise this person as much as we do but at the same time recognize their humanity," says bassist Alexander Reinthal.
"Paperking" was recorded by WLOTS in Granna, mixed by Taylor Barrow and mastered by Ulf Blomberg at HoboRec in Lund. Taylor also provided additional keys and programming. Album artwork by Tom Malek.

VISIT TO A GRAVE
by ...AND ITS NAME WAS EPYONsupported by 5 fans who also own “Paperking”
俺を困惑させるアニメインフルエンスドScreamo達の1つ、...AND ITS NAME WAS EPYONの2019年作品。エヴァでもAKIRAでもlainでもなくガンダム。もういい加減にしてください。しかし真面目に論じるぞ。新機動戦記ガンダムWの日本での放映は1995年であったが、USでは2000年に始まっており、USで最初に放送されたガンダムシリーズ作品だという。そしてこのタイミングがRadioheadが『Kid A』を発表し、アメリカ国内ではCity Of Caterpillar等の新しい世代のScreamoが確立しつつある時期でもある。ファンダムがオタク臭強い初期ガンダムの流れとも異なり、女性ファンにも支持される2000年代以降のガンダム文脈を背負うScreamoは日本でどう受け止めるべきか俺にはわからない。
