Drawing influence from the musical influences of their youth (the likes of Slipknot, Korn and Linkin Park), Tallah fuse the razor-sharp precision of these acts with the raw edges of modern hardcore music displayed by current sensations Code Orange, Vein, Candy and Fire From The Gods. Having followed Justin’s popular YouTube channel for some time - which boasts perhaps the most popular scream tutorial at approximately 3m views, “How to Scream (10 Different Techniques)” - Max approached Justin to join a new project with guitarist Derrick Scheider and bassist Andrew Cooper, both of whom Max had formed previous relationships with on the Philadelphia music scene. The resulting explosion of chaos, controversy and metal innovation birthed the band’s first EP, ‘No One Should Read This’, which was recorded at Spin Studios (GOJIRA, LAMB OF GOD) in 2018. Following its release, Max received the Modern Drummer Award for “Best Up and Coming Drummer 2019” and the band performed at Boomtown Festival in the same year. Tallah’s forthcoming album ‘Matriphagy’ expands upon the concept outlined in ‘No One Should Read This’, armed with a disturbingly graphic tale that is to be taken both literally and metaphorically. Set to a pleasurably harrowing backdrop of brutally heavy musicianship, ‘Matriphagy’ is an unapologetic love-letter to chaos, and the sickening twist of the macabre.

She’s like a tripwire, so I can’t step swift Wish I could sit this out because I know I’m gonna regret this How far do I get before you whiff up my scent, b*****? No one should read this No one should ever know how tight it tugs It’s cutting deeper through the muscle, toward the other side ‘Cause she can’t stand to be alone There’s no one left to take the pressure Got me all by myself ‘cause she’s my placenta She’s my placenta I don’t believe in you anymore Belly-up the lies that I tell myself I don’t believe in you anymore Ma’, I’ma come help you cut the cord—cut the cord Cut the fucking cord Cut the fucking c-cord I’ve become bitter I’m not prepared for this Why can’t she push me out? Reason’s truly left her I’m not prepared for this Why can’t she push me out? No one should read this No one should ever know how tight it tugs It’s cutting deeper through the muscle, toward the other side ‘Cause she can’t stand to be alone There’s no one left to take the pressure Got me all by myself ‘cause she’s my placenta #Tallah #Placenta #Matriphagy
