A couple of months ago DeClunk had the pleasure of experiencing Maria Iskariot at The Cluny, along with Tropical Fuck Storm. Both bands were ace, energy, intensity and a raw delivery. Anyway, here is the latest offering from Maria Iskariot. Maria Iskariot is Helena Cazaerck (vocals and guitar), Loeke Vanhoutteghem (guitar), Sybe Versluys (drums), and Amanda Barbosa (bass).
Translating to “Liar” in English, the track seethes with raging energy, as front-woman Helena Cazaerck spits the lyrics “He feeds the people sugared lies / Knows too well how to disguise”. A live video of the track already drew attention to the band online, leading to Tropical Fuck Storm inviting them on their UK and Scandinavian tour late last year. Now, as the band put the finishing touches to their debut album, they unleash the studio version of the track and accompanying video.
The band comment: “Leugenaar is an absolution, a pelvis under the chin of a drooling monster waiting to be freed from a rotten tooth. Anyone expecting further explanation can go to hell.”
There is some dates below, we hope the band gets back to the UK this year. We will be there, you should too!
