Seven Minutes of Nausea (German: Seven minutes nausea , abbreviated 7MON in various spellings) is a Noisecore project, which was founded in 1985 in Australia and has since the 1990s its base in Germany. The project is characterized by the work as a duo, with the setup for performances being supplemented by live musicians.

history

The Seven Minutes of Nausea project was founded in 1985 by Mick Hollows and his brother "Scut" in Australia as a rock'n'roll band. The band name component "Nausea" goes back to the novel Der Ekel (French: La nausée ) by Jean-Paul Sartre ; the part of the name "Seven Minutes" has no meaning. In the first year of its existence there was a change in style to significantly faster music, whereby it was tested how fast and short individual "songs" could be. A first demo cassette called Harry Dean Suicide , which was made in 1985, was still somewhere between hardcore and grindcore with partly song-like structures . The first regular release was an EP with 13 minutes playing time and 342 tracks, which was released on the German label TNT & Records, with whose owner Matthias Weigand Mick Hollows stayed in contact.

In January 1990, Hollows and Scut separated because the former made an extensive trip to Europe and eventually settled there. In Europe he continued Seven Minutes of Nausea with changing musicians. He lived for a while in Koblenz near Weigand, then for ten years in London and since 2005 again in Koblenz. Since then, Hollows and Weigand have formed the core of the band.

Seven Minutes of Nausea played at the Obscene Extreme Festival in 2015 and at the Noisefest in Ljubljana in 2012 and 2014 . At Obscene Extreme they headlined the Noisecore Night .

Bassist Weigand runs the record label Ecocentric, on which, in addition to Seven Minutes of Nausea, they also publish thematically similar bands such as Cause for Effect , Japanese Combat Radio Play , NunSlaughter or Sore Throat . Weigand plays with the former guitarist Achim Friedrich in the industrial band End of Silence, of which Hollows was a temporary member.

style

Seven Minutes of Nausea move musically between the genres of noise and grindcore . In the media, the term “Noisecore” or “Noisegrind” is occasionally used for such music; What is meant is that she dissolves existing song structures in Grindcore and aims exclusively at speed and chaos in the context of classic Grindcore instruments. The most prominent representative of this genre was the American band Anal Cunt , whose members Seth Putnam and Fred Ordonez temporarily played in Seven Minutes of Nausea. In order to be able to broadcast their music on stage, Seven Minutes of Nausea temporarily use two drummers at the same time. For the most part, the band's lyrics deal with politics and take a clearly left-wing position, although the text portfolio has been increasingly supplemented with personal experiences over the years. The former drummer and lyricist Scut cites the Dutch hardcore band Lärm and the French band Rapt as the musical influences of the band in the early days of their existence.

The Trust magazine moved if the short title maturities comparison with grindcore bands like Napalm Death or the Electro Hippies . The online magazine Vampster described the music of Seven Minutes of Nausea in the context of the review of a split album with Sist En 343 and TN666 as "incoherent noise". The magazine Metal.de judged the band that it was certainly "cult", but had "always not only reached the limit of bad taste, but far exceeded it". On Last.fm , the band's songs are referred to as "ultra-short noise explosions". In the announcements of the organizers for Obscene Extreme 2015, the band was described as the most representative band of the Noisecore era and as "pioneers of the genre". The band itself describes their music as "noise, as fast and accurate as possible" and cites Finnish and Swedish hardcore bands from the 1980s as influences.
