Single Day line-up for Northern Invasion just announced! Mutoid Man will be taking the stage Sunday, May 13. Tickets are on sale now @ northerninvasion.com/tickets
The Mutoid Man drummer chooses his favourite hardcore albums of all time.
Ben Koller is a legend of heavy music. Not only is he the drummer for seminal noisemakers Converge, but he’s also responsible for All Pigs Must Die, Killer Be Killed and Mutoid Man, the latter of which are releasing their new album War Moans on June 2.
As you’d expect from a Ben Koller project, it’s hard-hitting, erratic and dripping with old school hardcore influences from Boston, New York and beyond. But which hardcore records does he think think belong at the top of the pile? Well, we caught up with the man himself to find out…
Marty Friedman played lead guitar on Mutoid Man’s song “War Moans” from the album of the same name, and Friedman has decided to reprise his effort live at The Fever in Tokyo, Japan. Friedman stays on stage with the band, and they also perform a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain,” which Mutoid Man recently performed with Baroness’ frontman live on Two Minutes To Late Night.
