After going through one of the darkest periods of their musical career,
Swollen Members are back and sounding more revitalized than ever. The
Vancouver based hip-hop trio has somehow managed to persevere through
drug addiction, label collapses, and legal troubles to create their 2009
release "Armed To The Teeth". While writing the album was necessary to
empty the skeletons that have been piling up in the group’s closet, the album was a departure from Swollen Members trademark sound.
“Armed to the Teeth is a dope record, but looking back now some of the
lyrical content glorifies negativity a little too much for my liking,"
commented Madchild. "Along with Dilated Peoples and Hieroglyphics, we
come from an era of hip-hop that was a raw and pure art form and just a
lot more fun! So when we started the creative process for this record
our goal was to record something that feels right and that's exactly
what happened.”
With Mad Child now free from his addiction to
pain killers and having exorcised all his demons, he has returned to
Swollen Members with a vengeance to record their seventh studio album
“Dagger Mouth”. From the powerful production of Rob The Viking to the
dark poetic abstract expressionism of Madchild and Prevail, “Dagger
Mouth” is a return to the classic Swollen Members sound by harnessing
the group’s savage and chaotic energy into one focused and commanding
effort.
"We really learned a lot from Madchild’s journey through
addiction, and Swollen managed to keep it together during a tumultuous
time that would have broken most groups up," added Prevail. "With this
record we banded together for the strength of our brotherhood and
re-discovered the core elements of what the Swollen Members sound is."
Over the course of their decade long career, Swollen Members has
managed to develop some of the most electrifying hip-hop chemistry. From
the release of their debut album “Balance” in 1999, Swollen Members
captivated the underground hip-hop world with live shows that took the
raw explosive energy of rock music and powered it with the group’s jaw
dropping lyrical abilities. The group’s universal appeal caught the
attention of both underground and mainstream audiences and while earning
accolades, as well as Juno Awards (the Canadian version of a Grammy),
and Video awards.
Swollen Members had developed such a
powerful fanbase they were touring the world opening for everyone from
Black Eyed Peas to Tech N9ne and collaborating with the likes of Nelly
Furtado, Everlast, and Chali 2na (Jurassic 5).
“The past few years
have taught me a lot about myself and my music,” closes Mad Child.
“Swollen Members’ success has taken us around the world and while I’m
thankful for all we’ve accomplished, but I’ve learned that everything is
secondary to making good music.”
