“There are things, actually, that I didn’t know myself because we’ve never really had a conversation about it. “I like the way chopped together aspects about how Nick and I work together,” he says during a chat about the film. He’d been fucking around with that thing for hours.'”Įllis likes the humor of it all, too. He said ‘I was just hitting the piano like that to try and get his attention. “There’s this piece they did for Blonde - Warren singing into a vocoder and Nick playing this strident piano - when I said to Nick how unusual the two things were. “It’s also interesting how their actual relationship finds its way into the music,” Dominik continues. A raised eyebrow at the wrong moment could kill something before it’s fully come into being. “And the way they move forward through that uncertainty, it’s a very fragile space they like to occupy, and it has to be negotiated carefully. “The most fascinating thing about how Nick and Warren is how quickly they work and yet how often they are in a space where they can’t tell whether what they are doing is ‘good’ or not,” Dominik says. It’s a lighthearted look at the creation of weighty music. It shows the ceramic devils Cave has been making, as well as Ellis’ cluttered laptop screen, which contains what looks like thousands of musical snippets to pick from. In addition to moving renditions of songs from Ghosteen and Carnage, the film has many revealing and sometimes funny moments reflecting Cave and Ellis’ artistry both together and apart. “There’s a fearlessness about dealing with the unknown, both in life and creatively, a willingness to place themselves in situations where they’re vulnerable and a belief in the strength of that.” “Nick and Warren are both the same and completely different at the same time,” Dominik says, via email, about the difference between this film and One More Time. Dominik, who has commissioned Cave and Ellis to score many of his films, including the upcoming Marilyn Monroe–themed Blonde, decided to show the mask-wearing crew at work on This Much I Know to Be True as the cameras spun around the musicians. Where that film was a personal look at Cave’s grief following the death of his son Arthur, the new one looks broadly at the artists’ reaction to what Ellis calls a “global trauma,” as they find their footing during Covid. The movie, This Much I Know to Be True - which is available to stream via MUBI starting today - is a spiritual sequel to 2016’s One More Time With Feeling, Dominik’s documentary about the making of the Bad Seeds’ Skeleton Tree album. In between it all, he also found himself in front of filmmaker Andrew Dominik’s cameras as the director captured Cave and Ellis’ songwriting process alongside performances of songs from Ghosteen and Carnage for a new film. 9 through Epitaph Records and pre-order your copy here.Black Sabbath on the Making of 'Vol. Look for the album to be released on Sept. Watch the video for "The Greatest Fear" below and view the Darker Still artwork and complete track listing further down the page. What you hear on Darker Still is the final fulfillment of our ability to learn and grow catching up with the imagination that we have always had." Speaking about the album on the whole, he adds, "When Parkway originally started out, we all were trying to push ourselves to do more than we possibly could.
It's heavy, it's epic and when it stomps it leaves an impact." Musically, we wanted to create a song that did this concept justice.
"The goal was to create a song that saw death not as something that separates, but something that connects us all on our paths. "The greatest fear, the one we all share this song is about the unifying force we all must face -death," says vocalist Winston McCall. It's irresistibly catchy and should easily be a live highlight once Parkway Drive head back out on tour. It's a bold step for the veteran metalcore group, but one that brilliantly showcases their ability to evolve.
