Beer, filth, getting lost, cancelled gigs and lost Interview notes
So I think it’s time to introduce myself properly; I'm Alex and as most of you all should know I'm the new bassist- what a time I’ve had already and its only been a few months! Already I feel at home with you guys the fans and Sa-Da-Ko.
Well two weeks ago I played my first bunch of gigs with Sa-Da-Ko the first one being the Ship and Giggles in Preston a place I've never played before. It was a great little venue and straight away I felt like a king, free beer and food took my mind off this being my first gig and also my first time back being on stage in a long while.
It was awesome, the crowd were really responsive and everything went to plan my Sa-Da-Ko cherry was popped (Something else had already been popped but what happens behind closed doors at AkU HQ stays behind closed doors) but the only thing I struggled with a little was these bloody shirts and ties! Fuck man they're warm to play in and I don't need to tell you if you've been to one of our shows then you will know its full on pedal to the metal we don’t walk around like wounded ducks on the stage, (I may just start taking my bass, shirt and tie to the sauna at the gym throw a few beers in there too just to condition myself and this, my lovely filthlickers, is what it feels like in them suits on stage!) anyhow met some good people there great banter caught up with our good friend Vicky and also a rather strange interview with a guy who lost his interview notes (yes I have nothing to do with this please be careful where you leave them).

Right since the first gig we have had one cancelled after turning up for it (suppose shit happens) and the other two were top gigs too. One in Wigan where I caught up with some friends I haven't seen in a long time, the set went down well and so did the beer! The only thing that that went down faster than a lead balloon was me misinforming Jim about a babies yed floating…. Silence...
The other one was in St Helens for Deathwave Promotions which let me tell you was a very long day, not only was I hungover but I was still feeling the gig from the night before, to be honest tho once you get on that stage whatever physical or mental state you're in goes straight out the window and pure filthy adrenaline kicks in.
I've had a blast so far and the journey has only just begun! It’s been great hearing peoples feedback after our sets and saying that I fit right in, my only concern is nobody in this band knows how to get to and from my house and they get lost everytime we go home! (from Manchester to Liverpool to Skelmersdale I can't wait to get out there and meet more of you at our shows and have a few beers with you all!!!
Until then stay filthy,
Alex

lead up to the AWAKENINGS release. pt 3: What processes did you go through to record the album?
Whats happening Filthbitches? Hope your all doing well! Since our last blog, the tour has kicked off nicely, with our newest member Alex on bass guitar, firmly in the thick of it with his Sa-Da-Ko baptism of metal on full tilt with 4 gigs in a week- he's defo one of the family now and we are more than happy to have him!! Look out for a quick blog from him on wednesday, where he talks about his experiences joining us dick heads on the road! We are all looking forward to smashing more and more venues in the near future, so keep ya eyes peeled for when we are near you!
Gonna outline the processes we went through this time round, in part cock shitting 3 of how the titty fucking christ on a bike we wrote such a fanny tingling nipple popping ball sack emptying bastard of an awesome album.... or, in other words, some techy shit about gear we used etc; hope you enjoy!
Gregzilla was first up, recording drums using a set of AKG drum mics and 2 overhead condensers on a custom Pearl kit, comprising of kick drum, vinnie paul signature series snare, floor tom, 3 rack mounted toms and more cymbals than you could shake a stick at, which he did incidentally, and he hit them too- which was a good start for a drummer lemme tell you! anyway, I digress... The drums were multi mixed using a mixture of live and triggered sounds to keep the kit sounding clear and natural. We opted for a tighter capture on the overheads compared to other records to create a claustrophobic feel and to accentuate that feeling of having the band right there in your face! The full 12 tracks were finished up in true Gregzilla superhuman smash style over one weekend!!
Simo and Jay were next up on guitar duty, with Simo opting for a Peavy 6505 head with a cab his dad used to own which he loves for clarity and a dirty as fook bottom end. For recording, a mixture of his live sound, an Ibanez custom with EMG85s into a BOSS GT8 multifx for distortion and other bits crossed with a separate sound taken from a Digidesign 11 rack unit. Jay used a Marshall JCM900 head through the same cab, but with his Schecter Omen with passive pickups into a GT3 for distortion and fx, and doubled it up using the same Digidesign 11 rack unit. The cabs were all miked up using a Shure SM57 and all quadruple tracked using the different set ups for a wider sonic feel. Quickly, I just wanna give a big shout out to Jay Dean who has sadly decided to call it a day with us after this album due to work and family commitments, he remains a great friend to the band and what a face melting legacy he left writing some big ass riffs for this album- cheers man!!
Bass wise, an Ibanez running straight into an Ashdown Superfly head was used. The signal was split using D.I. and a cab miked up using a D1100 kick drum mic. Once the signal hits pro tools, The D.I. signal was distorted using Sans Amp which brings out the highs while the kick mic handles the high pressure and captures the lows. Overall it took about 2 weeks to get all the guitars and bass down.
Jim went sick on the vocals using a handheld SM58 while Simo was on clean vox duty in the control room using a standing SE2000a condenser mic with pop shield taking about a week in total to record all vocals.
After all that was recorded, and between Simo and Greg many a long hour sat in the studio cutting down audio clips, it was ready to be sent off to be mixed and mastered by Legendary UK metal producer, Dave Chang. Dave took about 3 weeks in total passing tracks back an forth with us to create a polished album that we are proud to say is ours. Everything sits in its own space sonically, and sounds so big its unreal! Big thanks to him, he did a great fucking job!!!
So thats it- Awakenings... sorted, hope you enjoyed reading it- not long to wait now till the album is upon you filth lickers.... not long!
Stay classy!

Awakenings was created first as a concept, with practices revolving around writing songs, gathering riffs, beats, vocal hooks, breakdowns etc. This took a good few months all together, before we felt we had enough quality tracks to put on an album. The album was recorded at the home of Sa-Da-Ko "AkU studios" on a Mac running Pro Tools 7.4 with a fuck off massive mixing desk- so you know it must be good!

lead up to the AWAKENINGS release. pt 2: What's with the name; what you all about?
Hello again! we are back with another exciting installment of Sa-Da-Ko motherfuckin facts for ya!
As we explained in the first post, on the lead up to our first full length album release we are doing a little series of blogs for you to get into our mindset, and hopefully understand us a bit better, know why we do what we do, what drives us etc, 1. to (hopefully) get you excited about the release, and 2. so when it comes out you gotta bit of background to it, and appreciate it a bit more...
So first up, the name. We for some reason, have a LOT of trouble with our name. Other bands get it wrong, fans of the genre get it wrong, venues get it wrong, promoters, reviewers, you name it... all get it wrong. Its not like we picked a really obtuse hard to pronounce name either, and its split up for you too- could we make it any easier... sheeesh!!! lolz!! Back when Sa-Da-Ko was a home studio project, Simo decided upon the name using The Ring as inspiration. The Ring is a 1998 Japanese horror film by Hideo Nakata. There was an American remake more recently but that was balls, Sa-Da-Ko fact there bitches, anyway, the film centres around a cursed videotape, which brings death to all who watch it. A great psychic called Shizuko Yamamura commits suicide, passing her abilities to her daughter, Sadako Yamamura, who psionically made the videotape- and the assumption is that Sadako is dead and it was her vengeful spirit that killed the teenagers. Go watch the film if you wanna know more Filthlickers! Exploring the origin of the name, brings another interesting fact to light, Sadako is a Japanese name used for females. The same name can be written with a variety of Kanji, and the meanings of the name differ accordingly. So basically it means different things to different people, something which we try to do as a band, steering away from traditional "metal" names and deciding on something with a variety of meanings- meaning you decide what you want us to be to you!!
So now you see, thats the name taken care of, were not a number puzzle or any other combination of 6 letters, heres a list of some we have genuinely been called, either on the net, posters and programmes, and the worst being a Tshirt, although annoying, it has become a bit of a running joke between us and our fans, leading us to jokingly refer to ourselves as "Skidadle" lets hope this clears up the confusion, and people stop being fucktards ;)
You get the picture...
So thats the name, what's in a name hey... Its the music that does the talking surely? In the Awakenings album, we cover a lot of different elements, which we naturally do as a band. We all have different tastes of music, and try and fit elements of all we like into our songs. Obviously a common love of metal as a whole binds us together, but all the different sub-genres too, and different styles. So musically you've got elements of Classic metal, Hardcore, Djent, Thrash, Math, Death, Nu etc, which is probably one of the reasons we do peoples head in, cos we try an stick a bit of everything we like in there! Vocally we cover subjects from apocalyptic visions, political frustrations, Folklore and cultural mythos, to my own misanthropic views of the world and other such dark subject matter- tackled from an almost hip hop style of rhythm at times. But essentially we are about the groove- getting your head bangin an the pit erupting is what we essentially set out to achieve. We make music that, we hope, makes you wanna go sick; that empowers you and makes you feel good! Music that puts a big fucking smile on your face, makes you raise ya glass in satisfaction, then turn to your mate next to you, put ya screw face on and nod appreciatively...
You can take it as deep as you want to do- If you wanna learn every riff, beat and lyric, finding the true meaning of the songs- cool thats awesome, you gotta dig deeper for that shit, but if you are just a casual listener thats cool too. We aren't about writing songs so complicated, extreme or so impenetrable that no one knows what to do when we hit the stage, nor are we basic and boring, we just do what we came to do, and we have fun- That seems to be missing from the scene in general at times. Sometimes people lose sight of why they got into metal in the first place, and are so bogged down with tryin to label things and deem them "metal" enough for appreciation- So shut up, stop being a judgemental prick, crack open a beer an listen to some metal, LOUD!!
Right, I'm off to eat bacon, and perhaps an egg, cos I'm edgy like that.... Be back in a couple weeks where we will look at the actual album closer, and the processes we went through to develop it.
Check out the website for where to catch us live- back on it BIG TIME, we got loads of gigs comin up over the next few months, so I expect to see some familiar faces there yo!!
Take it sleazy filthlickers- catch ya soon!

lead up to the AWAKENINGS release. pt 1: Why the fuck do we wear suits?
Whats happening filthlickers?
With the imminent release of our first full length album "Awakenings" due out at the end of may, with preview tracks available NOW on Soundcloud, we thought it would be a good opportunity to start a series of blogs, outlining what we do, why we do it and what the fuck we are all about, so when this album finally fuckin drops, youve gotta bit more of an insight into the band behind it.
We are starting off with an easy one- "why the fuck do we wear suits?" That is a question we get a lot because, obviously, we wear suits! A lot of people just dismiss it as a gimmick of sorts, we have had numerous comments on the subject, good, bad and indifferent, and I suppose it is a kind of gimmick, it sets us apart from the rest and allows us to be easily identified amongst our peers, but the reasoning behind it is a lot deeper than that.
Back when SaDaKo was just an idea, we knew we were different from a lot of what was going around in the metal scene, we still are. Being pretty fuckin obsessed with music ourselves, and going to shit loads of gigs etc, we had noticed that the first judgement came from before the band you were watching even started playing. not meaning to be judgemental and make assumptions based on image, it is a natural thing we as humans do subconsciously Picture the scene- a band walks on, all wearing jeans and band t.shirts, the bassist has a Slayer shirt, vocalist a lamb of god, lead guitarist wearing a bring me the horizon- you get the picture. You can hear murmurs, some of approval, some dislike at the bands on the shirts, and some written them off as a big load of puffs already- before anyone has heard them play a fuckin note! Lets face it, we have all been there as witnesses to the pricks, more commonly known as metal chavs- or just plain bitches! Fuck the scene! So already people have made a judgement, so after the first couple of songs, people make a second judgement- "Yeah the vocals are a bit lamb of god ish, but that riffs well from BMTH" straight away, with no challenge, people know your influences and can hear them shine through your music. So long story short, that is part of the reason we wear the black suits- When we step up onto a stage, we look like a unit, play as a unit, and hand your fuckin ass to you on a plate like a unit. We all have widely different eclectic music tastes which all go in the melting pot and is churned out as our sound. People struggle to categorize us, we don't fit in, we ain't part of any scene, and never will be. We accept that some people wont like us, we accept that people will be put off with our image or whatever, there's no magic to stamp out pre-conceptions, but we really couldn't give a fuck- but people always remember us after they've seen us, so we must be doin somethin right!
In summary, we just rock out, we wear suits to try and stop people judging us or catogorising us before they've heard us. Also we like ice cream.
Stay tuned filths- we got more of this sweary bollocks to come!!!

Sa-da-kO - Headbangers Balls Liverpool!!!!!
There's a lot of ups and downs of being in a band but every so often you get the opportunity to do some great things. The lads from Reign of Fury have decided to use their power for good by highlighting teenage cancer and raising as much cash as possible at the same time.
Not content with just doing the one funding raising event, they have chosen 11 major cities to do 11 events in. we think this is absolutely brilliant idea and not only that we have been asked to be part of it.
Headbangers balls already features great bands such as: Reign of Fury, Xentrix, Beholder, I am I, Bull Riff Stampede, Bludvera, Cambion, Fury Born and so much more.
You can catch Sa-da-kO at the Liverpool Showcase 16th August. and make sure you like the guys page over on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/headbangersballsUK.
Handbangers Ball's mission: 11 major UK city venues | the very best unsigned bands | some extra special guests.
2013 marks the 5th anniversary of Reign of Fury vocalist Bison Steed's recovery from testicular cancer. In recognition of those who saved him, those who have suffered like him, and those who can avoid the same ordeal, we're organising a UK tour in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust to raise funds and more importantly awareness of testicular cancer
LET'S SHOW CANCER WHO'S GOT THE BIGGEST BALLS. Coming Soon 2013

FILTH LICKER (AKANAME) - Taken from Awakening 26/5/13
My lips lick filth, taste pain,
I am your nightmare
I am the embodiment
Of everything you fear
The loss of innocence
A silent predator
(Free Me)
I am the great unwashed
I am the class divide
I am the 99%
I am all you despise
When I rear my ugly head,
you will know fear,
And your hearts filled full of dread-
You will cower in your own piss
I am the filth licker Akaname
Rage made me, I thrive on filth you see
I am all you hate
The exception to the rule
The square peg In the round hole
(Free Me)
I am the evil eye
I am the social conscience
I am pure Hate
I am your subconscious
I am everything you want to be- but deny
I can say I am truly free- and not lie
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Else this fist will rise up against you
I am the filth licker
Akaname (You made me what I am today)
I am the filth licker
(Pushed down so far I became)
Akaname

Sa-da-ko announce new line up.
Sa-da-kO - Project 2013 22/2/13
As you may have gathered from my last post we have had a few line up issues of late, with the departure of our original members Rob Morris & Jay Deano we have had the hard task of replacing a bass player and guitarist.
After our reach out via facebook we were amazed by the response and we are now happy to say we have found guys that are able to fit these massive shoes and shirts and ties.
So without further ado I would like to formally welcome Carl Emsley and Alex Burnell as new members to the Sa-da-ko fold. not only have the guys been able to learn the material in record time we believe that these guys will be able to add a little something extra to the crew.

We are currently working away at perfecting the set and and ensuring that 2013 is going to be a land mark year for the band, building a tour for this year and we have already secured some decent festival slots.
On a side note I would like to thank again everyone who has supported the band so far and every musicina who came and jammed with us during our search, we had chance to meet some of the finest muso's and some new friends along the way.

Sa-da-kO - Announce Album Release Date & 2 Day Launch Party
12/02/13 - Words unspoken...2 day bender on the horizon.
Right, let
me start by saying that we've had a lot on the last few months and although it
may appear that we have been away from the outside there has been a lot of
panicking within the ranks,
Firstly it’s
no secret we've had a few line up problems and with the departure of our bass
player Bobbie and guitar player Deano we have been forced to evaluate things
and talk about the future of the band.
Bobbie has
had lot of problems regarding his wrist and it was really effecting his playing
and Deano’s family/work life commitments have grown significantly this year to the
point where he has been unable to juggle everything. This has meant that both lads have decided to call it a day.
It’s all
very amicable and there are no hard feelings at all in fact it quite the opposite, we have become very good friends over the years and will still continue to do so however having to make decisions
and watching our friends make hard life decisions has been one of the most
difficult things we have had to go through as band.
I don’t want
to dwell too much but both lads know that they always will be part of Sa-da-kO
and its growth and that they will always be in the heart of it..
Right no
more gaying about.......... (sniff I’m not crying I’m cutting onions!)
So, We have a
new line up, this will be unveiled shortly but more importantly “Awakenings”
is finished and we are currently working on getting it out and about to
reviewers, press and industry type folks.
We have set
the date for release, and are having one hell of a party to celebrate, in fact
we are putting on a 2 day festival in Southport on the 25th-26th of May to mark the occasion and why
the hell not?
- It’s by the sea
- It has a fair
- It has takeaways everywhere
- Tons of B&B’s
- Weird drunken types everywhere
- It’s practically a festival site already, just add metal!
Heres the
line up teaser poster I announced yesterday
There’s
loads more to add so keep posted by joining the event on facebook and I will try my best to keep up
to date on things.
Right
should have more news soon, until then see yaz later

Dave Chang Working with Sa-da-kO on New Album
Ok, So our search for a new bass player continues!!!
Just to let you know we have several people trying out
at the moment so I’m sure we will be back on the road in no time.
In the meantime, I have a titbit of information
regarding our forthcoming release awakenings; we were in the throes of having a
studio master the entire album but unfortunately after a bit of a wait this was
dropped due to work heavy work commitments at the studio.
There is good news though as we are now working with
one my favorite UK producers Dave Chang, Dave has worked with loads of top UK
and international acts including Orange Goblin, Stamping ground and
Earthtone9.
We initially contacted Dave in hope of having him
master “awakenings” but he offered to mix and master the entire record for us.
After a few playbacks of early mixes we have to say
that we are thrilled to bits by the results that Dave had been throwing all over
our ear sphincters and we are literally weeks away from receiving the finished
product. its almost time to "wake the fuck up!"
To find out more about Dave, check up to date with his
other projects or just to contact him for help with your project check his
website at www.davechang.co.uk
That’s all for now but I will keep you informed of how
it’s all going as soon as I can,
All the Steve x
