Maggot Heart whet primal appetites on new album HUNGER. Berlin’s Rapid Eye Records,
together with Finland’s Svart Records, deliver Maggot Heart’s third knock-out blow of
innovative Post-Punk.
Maggot Heart, crossover rock band based in Berlin, channels emotional alchemy through
music. Consisting of guitarist and singer Linnéa Olsson, bassist Olivia Airey and drummer
Uno Bruniusson, Maggot Heart refuse to be categorized. Originally from Sweden, Olsson
formed Maggot Heart as a solo project in 2016, after carving a name for herself in bands like
The Oath, Beastmilk/Grave Pleasures. From detonating their initial underground break-out
City Girls EP, Maggot Heart had the underground by the throat, palpitating the grape-vine.
With two critically acclaimed albums under their belt, the 2017 debut Dusk To Dusk to 2020’s
Mercy Machine, Maggot Heart are not here to coast, they’re here to make waves. Musically
compared to such diverse acts as Patti Smith, Sonic Youth, The Stooges, Killing Joke and
Voivod, playing live with Earthless in the US, High on Fire and Amyl & The Sniffers in the EU
along with several invitations to tread the hallowed stages of Roadburn Festival, Maggot
Heart have been foaming-at-the-mouth road dogs. Now on their third album HUNGER,
recorded in Berlin and mixed by the acclaimed American producer and engineer Ben
Greenberg (Metz, Portrayal Of Guilt), Maggot Heart’s game is about to change.
If Dusk to Dusk was the mind, and Mercy Machine the body, then HUNGER is the spirit. Whip-
tight choruses, guided by a grunge-aged sensibility, where Punk and Noise Rock grime are
layered beneath Swedish 70’s proto-metallic ooze, lurch you back for more. HUNGER goes
for the gut but with panache, boldly exploring the dichotomy of desire and desperation
through powerful refrains and a brave sense of rhythm. Songs like "This Shadow" and
"Archer" with abrasive pop hooks and Bowie-esque Jazz brass, showcase Maggot Heart's
ability to blend simplicity with deft musical awareness. Bassist Olivia Airey and drummer Uno
Bruniusson (whose former work includes the enigmatic In Solitude) are musicians at the very
peak of their powers, and the backbone of Maggot Heart. As Olsson says it best when she
states:
“A band is a family, a pact in blood, a strange and unique and incredible relationship. I think
playing music together with someone is probably the most intimate you can get outside of
romance. All that sweat, the trust you have to have in one another, the exchange of energy”.
HUNGER is the album where Maggot Heart’s finesse of their own fervor finds them standing
on their own feral hind legs. Existing on a diet of her own determination, Olsson knows well
what hunger means for the survivor. Olsson isn’t hungry, she embodies HUNGER. The album
cover, a vulnerable portrait of strength.
No other band out there sounds like Maggot Heart. On HUNGER their bones are exposed, a
hole where the rib used to be, the void staring back. Sink your teeth into HUNGER. Starvation
has never sounded this vital.
