THE BEAST

Matriphagy is a concept album about how an overprotective mother pushes her son to the edge of insanity through psychological & physical abuse. Having spent two decades trapped inside a glorified prison, and after some failed rescue/escape attempts, the son, in a state of heavy delirium does the unforgivable to free himself from his mother's wicked hold.

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.

I’m Armageddon’s son Hold your resentment while I bust this out She’ requesting my submission, and we all know how this one ends I’m proud to have been given a chance to entertain you -Lest I’m enslaved to the pain of my confidence I was in it only to help you out Lie in the danger or save my life? I envision a world where my choices are mine -Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain I could drown in my confidence It don’t take much—just a pinch of resistance I’m open to suggestions on how I should get it done Don’t overreact This is how it goes: Ima’ break through the linoleum -Hope she doesn’t hear a sound Hold your resentment while I dig me out to define my new existence, And my boy knows the outcome That little prick likes to parry my thoughts You know why? ‘Cause he’s a coward and a hypocrite! I shot two bullets in the wall, Just stand between the eyes of God, to let him see, Let him weep at the construct he cast aside And I’m over it ‘cause I been’ feeling so confident! I was in it only to help you out Lie in the danger or save my life? I envision a world where my choices are mine -Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain I could drown in my confidence Lobifu, can you clarify it? O’ Lobifu! Just let me prove that it was you, Lobifu! When she comes, we will surrender to her, Lobifu ‘Cause we been’ part of the problem Just let me prove it was you, Lobifu I was in it only to help you out Lie in the danger or save my life? She’s my crutch! I’m in need of her system I’m marginally obsessed with the way I present myself I overreact ‘cause that’s how I roll! You can see I am hysterical Oops! I’m Armageddon’s son Ugh, my agenda is to bust me out! She’ requesting my submission, and we all know how this one ends Got one foot in the door to entertainment -Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain Never one and the same—overconfidence #Tallah #Overconfidence #Matriphagy
