Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 26: Chris & Stony of Party Cannon (Fife, Scotland)

Lingua Brutallica

In this episode, we unpack an approach to lyric-writing that’s totally different from that featured previously on the podcast by talking to Chris and Stony of party slam project, Party Cannon. Unlike other bands we’ve spoken to in the past, Party Cannon does not publish any of their lyrics, and in most cases, doesn’t even write them down. In our interview, Stony and Chris take us through their creative process of developing a mood board of lyrical content that they draw on to record lyrics, continuously shaping their content throughout the recording process. The resulting product combines light-hearted parody, embodied in their infamous logo, and classic death metal gore, delivered through vocal stylings that frequently blur the boundaries between recognisable words and animal noises. And so, this episode allows us to ask an essential question – what is the role of language in lyrics that may not have a fixed form?
