Support: DJ Isa Brisa ✨?✨?✨?✨? LORD SPIKEHEART [Nairobi] Metalliska beats slamrar fram ur en trummaskin; uppspeedade men svängiga som en postapokalyptisk mardrömssamba. Avgrundsdjupa basfigurer får marken att skaka, medan en elgitarr ylar ikapp med vild growlsång. I rasande fart slungas lyssnaren mot det oundvikliga slutet: ett crescendo av kulspruteliknande bastrumslag. Välkommen till Lord Spikeheart, även känd som Martin Kanja: kronprins av Kenyas underjordiska metalscen. Många av beståndsdelarna i hans solodebut The Adept känns igen från Duma – den avantgardistiska laptopmetalduon han startade med parhästen Sam Karagu, och som spelade på Clandestino 2021. Men som Lord Spikeheart rör han sig också in i outforskade korsbefruktningar: som i Emblem Blem, ett spår där skriksången byts ut mot rap; eller i samarbeten med Scotch Rolex, Brodinski och Fatboi Sharif. Albumet är en hyllning till hans gammelmormor Muthoni wa Kirima, fältmarskalk i Mau Mau-upproret mot de brittiska kolonialherrarna på 1950-talet, en kamp som bidrog till att vända opinionen och banade väg för Kenyas självständighet. Texterna – på engelska, swahili och kikuyu – knyter ihop den tidens frihetskamp med dagens skuldfälla-diplomati och exploatering av naturresurser. Tunga teman, men hos Lord Spikeheart finns samtidigt en högoktanig livsglädje och humor, som manifesteras inte minst i musikens lek med kontrasterande ljudvärldar och stilblandningar. The Guardian, BBC, The Quietus och Pitchfork: alla har de hyllat The Adept, släppt genom Lord Spikehearts egen label Haekalu Records – det första skivbolaget i Afrika exklusivt dedikerat åt de mörkaste musikgenrerna. Med bolaget – som liksom Spikeheart själv är baserat i Ugandas huvudstad Kampala – vill han hjälpa andra afrikanska artister att nå ut till all världens metalheads. LORD SPIKEHEART [Nairobi] Metallic beats clatter out of a drum machine; sped up but groovy like some kind of post-apocalyptic nightmare samba. Abyssal bass lines make the ground shake, while an electric guitar wails along with wild growl vocals. At breakneck speed, the listener is hurled towards the inevitable end: a crescendo of machine-gun-like bass drum beats. Welcome to Lord Spikeheart, also known as Martin Kanja: crown prince of Kenya's underground metal scene. Many of the elements of his solo debut, The Adept, are familiar from Duma – the avant-garde laptop metal duo he started with guitarist/producer Sam Karagu, who performed at Clandestino 2021. But as Lord Spikeheart, he also ventures into unexplored cross-pollinations: as in Emblem Blem, a track where screaming vocals are replaced by rap; or in collaborations with Scotch Rolex, Brodinski and Fatboi Sharif. The album is a tribute to his great-grandmother Muthoni wa Kirima, who was a marshal in the Mau Mau uprising against the British colonial rulers in the 1950s, a struggle that helped turn public opinion and paved the way for Kenya's independence. The lyrics – in English, Swahili and Kikuyu – link that fight with today's debt diplomacy and exploitation of natural resources. Heavy themes, but Lord Spikeheart also has a high-octane humour and zest for life, manifested not least in the playfulness of the music, which cheekily mixes aural universes and style signifiers. The Guardian, BBC, The Quietus and Pitchfork have all praised The Adept, released through Lord Spikeheart's own label Haekalu Records – the first in Africa to be exclusively dedicated to the darkest music genres. Spikeheart – currently based in Uganda – intends to use his record label to help other African artists reach the ears of metalheads around the world. ✨?✨?✨?✨?✨?✨?✨?
