Phil Anselmolta uusi projekti nimeltään En Minor – vaikuttajina mm. The Cure, U2, The Sisters Of Mercy

Legendaarisen Panteran, Downin sekä Superjoint Ritualin vokalistina tunnetuksi tullut Phil Anselmo on ehtinyt puuhastella monien eri projektien parissa. Anselmon luotsaamalta black metal -yhtye Scourilta ilmestyy ”Red” -nimeä kantava EP 3.11.2017. Lisäksi mies kertoi hiljattain The Jimmy Cabbs 5150 -haastattelussa olevansa osa uutta En Minor -nimistä yhtyettä, joka on työstänyt albumiaan nyt muutaman vuoden. Anselmo kertoo haastattelussa:

“I have a record coming out that’s been finished for two years almost now, of course—just like every other fucking record. It’s with a band called En Minor. And I guess it would be my, ‘Hello, great dark eighties of Sisters Of Mercy, of The Cure ‘Seventeen Seconds‘ record and ‘Faith‘ album.’ Early The Cure. Early U2. Nick Cave and the fucking Bad Seeds or The Birthday Party. David Bowie… I take all these influences and then somehow we came out with results.

“It is what it is. I’ll let the people decide at the end of the day. And we’ll see. But, once again, I’m not shootin’ for radio time here; I’m just trying to broaden my horizons, write some harkening songs. But I think they have their own life, honestly. It’s retro only to a certain degree, I think, within me, because I know where it’s coming from. But I guess when a listener hears it these days, most people react… I hear the word ‘cinematic’ a lot, and I hear, ‘This is the best record you’ve done in thirty years,’ or some shit like that, something like that.”
