Suzzallo’s Loud Grief on The Quiet Year
Manage episode 483846851 series 2522568
Seattle-based musician Rocky Votolato has formed a new band called Suzzallo, who put out their debut album The Quiet Year earlier this year on Thirty Something Records. Through loud guitars and cathartic screaming, Suzzallo offers an outlet to help him grieve the loss of his child, Kienan, who died in a car accident in 2021.
“Without a way to express this pain, it probably would have killed me,” Votolato says in the interview. “Being able to turn it into this rock band and all this noise, light, pain, carnage, and everything that’s coming out in the record, I’m really happy that some of the light made it into the lyrics, too. I tried not to just focus on the darkness of the tragedy.”
