The Barbarians Of California Share Crushing New Track ‘Vanilla Latte’
The Barbarians of California are back once again with another huge hardcore hit that showcases their knack for blending heaviness and humour wonderfully.
Titled ‘Vanilla Latte’, it sits perfectly at the intersection of ferocity and fun that the band have such a great handle on. Bludgeoning riffs, rallying drums and calloused howls aplenty, with added tongue-in-cheek references and musings on modern living, it’s the sort of sensational heaviness that is impossible not to lose all inhibitions to.
Quite simply, you’re going to love it.
Guitarist Eric Stenman had this to say about it:
“For ‘Vanilla Latte’, we dip back into our thrashy side with the usual dose of sarcasm and irreverence. The music video for this one has to be my favourite yet. It was shot entirely during our time on the ShipRocked cruise… so much fun!”
The video really is loads of fun, and you can check it out below.
The track comes hot on the heels of the sensational ‘Bomb To A Knife Fight’, which sounds like this:
The band will be hitting the road for a string of shows with Converge and Poison The Well later this year. Those dates look like this:

09 – AUSTIN Stubb’s Outdoors

Album Review: Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy – Fugue Gnawed from the Scabbed God Cerebrum
Album Review: Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy – Fugue Gnawed from the Scabbed God Cerebrum
Reviewed by Patrick O’Reilly
A complex and bizarre name reflects the complex and bizarre nature of this band. Mixing Slam, Brutal Death Metal, hints of prog metal and other influences makes for a heady brew of extreme music.
Opener ‘Conquering Divinity’ bursts out of the blocks like a bullet leaving an exit wound after leaving a trail of carnage and ruin. Deep guttural vocals fight for attention with machine gun blast beats and razor-sharp guitar riffage, not quite an original combination, but one played and written very professionally. Track teo does not really deviate from this format but by track three we are entering the realms of the weird and wonderful.
‘Severing what makes me human’ fits into its 2 minute 41 second runtime a myriad of angular obtuse riffs, atonal and unapologetic.
If you think this is the direction the album is headed in then you are wrong, as track four ‘Apotheotic Apotemnophilia’ plays like if a grunge band realise they are playing the wrong genre and decide to become a slam band IN THE MIDDLE OF A SONG!
This eclectic approach never lets up for the whole of the album, with so many familiar yet alien sounds emerging, riffs that sound like they were written by a thrash band, or slow dirgey sections that come straight from doom metal’s playbook.
Does this approach work? Incredibly, yes! The album stays fresh and interesting; there is always something you draw your attention to and keep you listening. Combine this with the band’s art and lyrical efforts and it makes for a crazy, heady mixture of the heavy and the ridiculous, but at least it’s never boring!
