Since 1994
Mothercare have devoted themselves in achieving an aggressive, violent and cathartic
sound. Since earlier works, the band chooses to record and produce its music
independently. After 2 demotapes, Mothercare put out 2 self-produced mini CDs:
In A Hole (4 tracks, 1997) and Fusoku
no Kigen (5 tracks, 1999). The latter became "Demo of the
month" on the British magazine "The Mix". In 2000 Fusoku no Kigen
won the "Demowar" competition on the italian mag Psycho!: the band
is voted by the audience, among over than 100 acts. In
2003 "Breathing Instruction"' production
started and again the work was completely produced by Mirkos Bunkker
Prod. (guitar). The record is published by Urlo Music and distributed
in Italy by Emi Italy.Breathing Instructions is Mothercare's first
full-lenght (11 tracks) and includes several special guests, as Mark
"Barney" Greenway from grind-core prime movers Napalm
Death. As a result of the bands devotion to its music the record
have reached 1600 copies sold in the sole Italy. Breathing
Instructions marks Mothercare's stylistic ripeness, merging different
metal expressions into a distinctive sound, which the band names pain-core metal:
music originated from grief, frustration, from a persistent and overwhelming
sense of uneasiness. Mothercare's live shows feature deep psychic alteration,
frantic search of meanings, strong emotional interaction with the audience.The
band have been official support act of 2003 italian tour of Napalm Death.
The bands latest
release is even more sharp and sick with a deep thrash-death influence, its
titled Traumaturgic and guests Mieszko
Talarczyk from Nasum (who has died tragically
in the 2004 far easts tsunami) and Davide Tiso,
Ephel Duaths leader, one of the most interesting
European bands because of their unique jazz-metal style. The philosophy behind
Mothercare's latest record is about the welfare of a traumatic experience...Like
their music indeed.
