    Kali Corvette LP (Green vinyl)

    Lead singer, multi-instrumentalist, compulsive creator, and unrepentant volume addict Timo Ellis (Yoko Ono, Cibo Matto, Sean Lennon, Joan As Police Woman, Spacehog) formed NETHERLANDS in 2010 in NYC. The band has since shared stages with Napalm Death, Melt Banana, Mutoid Man, Yob, Retox, Black Flag, Eyehategod, Flipper, Martin Rev, The Death Set, Moon Tooth, and Witch Mountain, among many others. Now with drummer David Keith (Rainbow), the band continues to reject restraint in favor of maximum impact: shredding chops, soaring vocals, and maddening hooks. Netherlands crushes decades’ worth of bombast into psychotropic nuggets of evil sludge-rock bliss, with nods to the dirtbag rituals of 70’s acid rock and punk, the grandeur of 80’s arena rock, and the guttural intensity of 00’s posthardcore.

    KALI CORVETTE is Netherlands’ 6th full LP, and features all the hallmarks of Ellis’ work; blistering guitar heroics, primal drumming, and searing caterwauls. However KALI CORVETTE veers bracingly into the realm of electro-noise-punk, ratcheting up the intensity into a uniquely weaponized form of rock that reaches towards high art. The record features guest performances by Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), Michael Kubacki (Car Bomb), Tim Dahl (Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, Child Abuse), Daisy Press (Steve Reich) and Suzanne Von Aichinger (The Suzannes.) KALI CORVETTE is another chapter in the book of a band that’s consistently released heavy music on its own terms and with its own undeniable personality. There’s a reason contemporary heavy luminaries like Joe Duplantier of Gojira and Bill Kelliher of Mastodon count themselves amongst Netherlands’ biggest fans, and KALI COREVETTE’s 7 tracks effortlessly demonstrate NETHrock’s potency once again.

lyrics

...question

(can contemporary art and music actually have any subversive impact....within our ultra
mediated, and hyper commodified pop culture?)

I’m not so sure.

or does the resistance unwittingly fragment and pacify itself, self-medicated and massively
surveilled....and end up fatally subsumed within a disembodied, and fake online world?

this song is about how a terrifyingly large number of Americans still lack a rigorous
understanding of our own history....let alone about our current role, and our impact on the rest of
the world!

...as entitled, exceptionalist, white supremacist, shock doctrine capitalist, imperialist, homicidal, occupying marauders...and state sponsors of terror!

with 1000+ military bases and black sites around the world, it’s classical late-stage empire...except this time...we’re taking all of organized human life, and the entire fucking BIOSPHERE down with us!

Rome burns.
fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, Rome burns.

death to America
twilight of great Satan
end of the exception
the truth will out in the end

shining city on the hill
comes crumbling to the ground
how could we ever believe
that we would ever live it down? (we won’t!)

imperial cult of death
yet still proclaims claims providence
impose our virtues by force
enshrine the permanent war!

I don’t wanna know, cuz I already know. I don’t wanna look, and I ain’t gonna stop. I don’t wanna! I don’t wanna!

Rome burns.
fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, Rome burns.

I’m so fucking sick of being fed the myth of our innate decency, and “ingenuity” and “pioneering spirit”...which glares in obscene contrast to our retrograde, cold blooded, and grotesquely violent national character.

bipartisan neo-cons,
fascistic pseudo-Christians,
bloodsucking corporations,
free market devolution.

the triumph of spectacle
splinters the population
explodes the cult of the self
distracted, docile and numb!

death to “America”
not to Americans!
a karmic debt must be paid,
hope dies, then action begins!

I don’t wanna know, cuz I already know. I don’t wanna look, and I ain’t gonna stop. I don’t
wanna! I don’t wanna!

Rome burns.
Rome burns.
fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, Rome burns.

at the 11th hour,
we’ll put our heads together!
dramatically underestimate the threat,
panic,
then scramble for our VR headsets,
and brace for impact.

America is dead!
long live America!

when hope dies, action begins.
long live America!

about

NETHERLANDS Brooklyn, New York

formed by Timo Ellis in 2010, NETHERLANDS magic lies in the contrasts it sets up: falsetto vocals, odd time signatures, and haunting hooks transform their monstrous power into weirdly delicious and dynamic songs. The overall effect is not unlike that of Swans and Dio playing simultaneously, atop an actual mountain of MDMA. ... more
