With storming sets at Download, Reading &amp; Leeds and Hevy Fest under their belts, and an impact left on bigger venues after playing main support on Enter Shikari\u2019s Mindsweep tour, the Kent quintet had a formidable reputation as masters of powerhouse grooves and immense choruses to match. Then out of nowhere it all came to a halt, and we were left with nothing but silence.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThe five of us never really thought that there was gonna be any sort of breaks in this band, because we all love each other dearly like family and we always enjoyed the music,\u201d<\/i> <b>FTR\u2019s<\/b> powder keg frontman Lee Tobin states. <i>\u201cWe just got to a certain point where we realised \u2018we\u2019ve done a lot\u2019, and there were a few things that we just wanted to get more involved in on the outside of the band like family lives and things like that which sometimes do take a bit more precedent.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cBut I think we\u2019d come to a point where we were trying to write new material and it was feeling a little stale and we couldn\u2019t pull things together, and it just felt like the right time to have a bit of a break. Everyone went away for a little while and I think it did us all a world of good.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"FEED THE RHINO - Heedless (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zn4Q565s_zE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Released this month, their fourth full-length record <i>\u2018The Silence\u2019<\/i> was created after a lengthy period of time away from music, which allowed each member time for self-reflection and personal development that living in each other\u2019s pockets for months on end doesn\u2019t allow one to do. <i>\u201cWe barely picked a phone to each other and it\u2019s really odd for us because we\u2019re like mega close,\u201d<\/i> Lee explains. <i>\u201cIt made me personally realise my love for the band. That was never in doubt, that was never in question, we all love <b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> so much, it\u2019s what we created, but for me it was knowing how much you miss something when it\u2019s not there.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully for Lee, his bandmates, James Colley (guitar), Sam Colley (guitar), Chris Kybert (drums) and Oz Craggs (bass) also missed <b>FTR<\/b>. Though marriages and childbirth brought mass changes to the lives of members, they realised it was time to record new music.<i>\u201cAfter we picked up the phone again and said \u2018let\u2019s start writing,\u2019 and everyone said, \u2018yeah, this is the right time\u2019, we started coming up with ideas and instantly, the buzz was back! It was right there, the songs just sounded amazing, it was just the right time.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Writing a follow up to match the riff juggernaut displayed on 2014\u2019s <i>\u2018The Sorrow and the Sound\u2019<\/i> was never going to be a simple task, but with enough time away, the band returned with a grander vision for their songwriting already realised. <i>\u201cThe songwriting on this album was fucking easy, it just fell together,\u201d<\/i> Lee admits. <i>\u201cI\u2019ve said it before, and it\u2019s kind of a repetitive phrase, but every album we\u2019re trying to write a better album than the last. But if you look back over the albums, the thing that really stands out on this album is the choruses are slightly more ambitious, they\u2019re a bit cleaner than what we\u2019ve done before.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cI mean, some people are gonna fucking hate it, let\u2019s face it, that\u2019s just the truth of it. But as a band, if we didn\u2019t try and push our boundaries and wrote the same album over and over again, that would be fucking boring.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"FEED THE RHINO - Losing Ground (Album Track)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3_N4-guSDrc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Prior to the album\u2019s release, the release of single <i>\u2018Losing Ground\u2019<\/i> demonstrated this boundary pushing <b>FTR<\/b> aimed for on <i>\u2018The Silence.\u2019<\/i> Thriving on Lee\u2019s clean vocal delivery, it\u2019s strength comes in it\u2019s display of tired fragility from a figure associated for running about stages and screaming in punter\u2019s faces. <i>\u201cPeople have already said \u2018Wow \u2018Losing Ground\u2019, that\u2019s such a crazy song to put on one of your albums,\u201d<\/i> Lee says before offering his rebuttal. <i>\u201cIt\u2019s not really because if you look over the last three albums, we\u2019ve had interlude songs that sound like that, and we had \u2018Tides\u2019 and \u2018Empty Mirrors\u2019, but this song, we didn\u2019t wanna write an interlude, we wanted to write a track that we thought was worthy to put on an album. And again, it was easy to write because it just felt naturally good to write.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the aggressive punk rhythms that <b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> built their original sound on are to be found in spades on <i>\u2018The Silence\u2019<\/i> as well, and Lee points to <i>\u2018Nerve of a Sinister Killer\u2019<\/i> being a source of that natural <b>FTR<\/b> energy. <i>\u201cThere\u2019s always gonna be riff based songs which are bouncy, that are kind of jumpy,\u201d<\/i> he says. <i>\u201cAnd I think songs like \u2018Nerve of a Sinister Killer\u2019 are quite natural songs for us to write. If you look at \u2018Give Up\u2019 on the last album, it\u2019s kinda similar, but \u2018Nerve of a Sinister Killer has a little more bite, it\u2019s a little more aggressive.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cI think it\u2019s one of the best tracks, it\u2019s like a slap-in-the-face from start to finish, and you\u2019re always gonna find that on a <b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> album.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>From the high-octane bounce of <i>\u2018Nerve of a Sinister Killer\u2019<\/i> to the epic soundscaping that punctuates the chorus of <i>\u2018Fences\u2019<\/i>, <i>\u2018The Silence\u2019<\/i> is an album that embraces the diversity that writing heavy songs with a punk and metal influence allows any songwriter. What ties these song\u2019s together is Lee\u2019s razor-sharp vocal delivery and lyrical outpouring of pure disdain, often taken from a self-inflicted point of view. <i>\u201cI try to steer clear of things that are truly opinionated. At the end of the day, I\u2019m not a politician, so I\u2019m not going to try and write anything too politically strung, so 95 per cent of the album, is definitely personal to me, it\u2019s definitely personal feelings that I am expressing,\u201d<\/i> Lee explains.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cBut I definitely feel like with everything I write, it always feels like I\u2019m getting something off my chest because that\u2019s your arsenal isn\u2019t it? That\u2019s your ammunition. As a lyricist and a vocalist in a band, you have to have something to write about otherwise you\u2019re just writing bollocks.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Of the many issues Lee felt it was important to write about, one standout topic is his scathing critique of the music scene and industry the band found themselves trapped in on closing track <i>\u2018Featherweight.\u2019<\/i> With refrains of <i>\u201dthis scene is featherweight\u201d<\/i> and concerns about \u2018being played\u2019, it\u2019s a slab of brutality that comes from a place of total frustration. <i>\u201c\u2018Featherweight\u2019 was written and released around the time that we parted ways with music, so you can kind of see the end of the tether in that song can\u2019t you?\u201d<\/i>, Lee states. <i>\u201cAt the end of the day, you put so much of your heart and your soul into something, the you see it get bastardised, taken advantage of and taken for granted.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cIt\u2019s always going to happen, and I\u2019m never going to mention any names, I mean people work very very hard in the music industry if you\u2019re in a band,\u201d<\/i> Lee elaborates. <i>\u201cBut I think sometimes the way bands present themselves and the way the music industry acts, it can be jarring. And when you\u2019re in something for a long time, you start to see a lot of true colours, a lot of different things coming out in people, a lot of reasons why people do things for certain reasons.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"FEED THE RHINO - Featherweight (Official 360 Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jZGwAz2TOxI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While <i>\u2018Featherweight\u2019<\/i> aims it\u2019s disappointment and frustration at a collapsing music scene that <b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> chose to leave behind, Lee embraces the wealth of original talent flowing through the veins of the industry today. <i>\u201cThe music industry is so fucking huge, and has been for years and years and years, and it\u2019s always gonna shift and bend, and be manipulated in some way. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so great to see people being so original,\u201d<\/i> Lee says. <i>\u201cLook at someone like Jamie Lenman, that dude\u2019s just inspiring because he\u2019s a fucking genius, I told a journalist the other day that I think he\u2019s the Beethoven of the music industry. He\u2019s wild and he\u2019s brilliant and his ideas are refreshing and inspiring as well because he\u2019s authentic. It\u2019s so great to see that sparkle of light amongst the fog.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThere are a lot of great bands out there that do really great things, and there are bands that have been around for a long time doing really great things. My favourite heavy band at the moment is Architects, and what they\u2019re doing and what they\u2019ve done as a band and the music they\u2019re writing is just brilliant, and from what I know, they\u2019re a really nice bunch of dudes who work hard. It\u2019s really good to see that right now, it\u2019s refreshing.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Alongside similarly refreshing artists Bad Sign, Haggard Cat and Cove, <b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> are set to begin a full-length UK tour, before playing a number of shows in Spain and Festival sets including HammerFest on Prestatyn, Wales and a spot on the main stage at the revered Hellfest in Clisson, France. The tour will be the lengthiest headline tour <b>FTR<\/b> have embarked on since 2015 and Lee looks forward to returning to the chaos of it. <i>\u201cThe way to look at it is, we\u2019ve got an opportunity to go out and have some fun,\u201d<\/i> he says. <i>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a challenge, I know we\u2019re playing for a good 20 minutes longer than we usually play when we headline, so that\u2019s going to be a bigger challenge because we want to fit more songs into the set.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cSo there is going to be a good bit of preparation, we\u2019re going to have to all be there for each other and to just enjoy it, and put no pressure on each other.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>With a number of shows confirmed for later in 2018, <b>FTR<\/b> are coming back stronger and more determined than they were before they took their first break, and with a new collection of their strongest and most ambitious songs to date on <i>\u2018The Silence\u2019<\/i>, their truest potential is about to be realised by bigger audiences, whether they knew about them first time round or not. As Lee Tobin considers the amount of shows he has in the pipeline, he realises now that break time is over and band time is now. <i>\u201cThis is just the beginning now, we\u2019ve got a lot more to come so we\u2019re gonna take our time to enjoy it.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWe\u2019re in this for the long run. <b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> ain\u2019t going nowhere.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2018The Silence\u2019<\/i> by <b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> is out now on <b>Century Media Records.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Feed the Rhino<\/b> links: Website|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/feedtherhino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/feedtherhino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Andy Davidson (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndyrfDavidson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@AndyrfDavidson<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIf we didn\u2019t try and push our boundaries and wrote the same album over and over again, that would be fucking boring\u201d Throughout 2015, Feed the Rhino were poised to become metal\u2019s most important and influential band.
