[ SCREENING ] BLOOD, SWEAT AND VINYL: DIY IN THE 21ST CENTURY :

Blood, Sweat & Vinyl provides a keen glimpse into crucial corners of the modern music universe where corporate concerns are disregarded and the artists are given (and receive) the respect they deserve.”
- J. Bennett, Decibel Magazine

It’s a goldmine of exclusive footage for fans, but it’s also a compelling piece for curious onlookers… It’ll make you proud to listen to this music.”
- Etan Rosenbloom, www.metalsucks.net

This captivating documentary is the product of five years of obsessive filming of live concert footage, exclusive interviews, and historic documentation focusing on three fiercely independent music labels and their bands.

Featuring Neurosis, ISIS, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Pelican, Oxbow, Evangelista, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, Cave In, and many others whose music and art found ideal homes in the artist-run record labels of Hydra Head, Neurot, and Constellation.

These labels combine hard-to-define, heavy music with a visual aesthetic that has enraptured worldwide fans, without the need for radio or corporate media outlets. They uphold the legacy of treating music as an art form, not as a product.

This film is an answer to those who question where the spirit of punk rock is today.

Over 20 bands and visual artists.
3 record labels.
1 philosophy.

[ SCREENING ] BLOOD, SWEAT AND VINYL: DIY IN THE 21ST CENTURY (VOSTFR) :

“Blood, Sweat & Vinyl nous offre un aperçu passionné sur les aspects importants de la musique moderne où les intérêts corporatifs sont volontairement délaissés et où les artistes reçoivent (et donnent) le respect qu’ils méritent. »
- J. Bennett, Decibel Magazine

“Une mine d’or pour les fans, et une pièce convaincante pour les curieux… Vous en sortirez fiers d’écouter cette musique. » - Etan Rosenbloom, Metalsuck.net
It’s a goldmine of exclusive footage for fans, but it’s also a compelling piece for curious onlookers… It’ll make you proud to listen to this music.”
- Etan Rosenbloom, www.metalsucks.net

Ce reportage captivant est le fruit de cinq années de travail acharné, de captations lives, d’interviews exclusives et d’archives vidéos centré sur trois labels attachés à leur indépendance ainsi que sur les groupes qu’ils produisent.

Le reportage met en scène Neurosis, ISIS, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Pelican, Oxbow, Evangelista, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, Cave In et plein d’autres groupes dont la musique et l’art ont su trouver leur place au sein de ces labels dirigés par des artistes, à savoir Hydra Head, Neurot, et Constellation.

Ces labels conjuguant une musique Heavy difficile à définir à un travail visuel recherché ont su ravir de nombreux fans à travers la planète, et ce sans avoir recours aux radios et médias traditionnels de grande envergure. Ils chérissent et font perdurer l’idée de considérer la musique comme une forme d’art et non comme un produit. Ce film constitue une réponse pour tous ceux qui se demandent où est passé l’esprit du Punk Rock.

Plus de 20 groupes et artistes visuels.
