Background information about 'Forgeries Vol.1, 1972-1984'

What happens when a band strips away pretense and embraces pure musical honesty? 16 delivers the answer with "Forgeries Vol.1, 1972-1984", their 11th full-length that abandons originality for something far more primal: the raw urge to steal what you love and transform it through sheer devotion. This isn't your typical covers album - it's a sonic possession ritual where each track becomes a document of obsession, influence absorbed and re-expressed without permission.

From Scorpions' "Can't Get Enough" to Black Flag's "Beat My Head Against The Wall", 16 treats these classics not as mimicry but as revelation. Each song crawls out bruised and changed, filtered through distortion, fatigue, and lived experience. The band has always believed that great covers aren't replications but translations - acts of tribute filtered through their own collective darkness. With artwork by the legendary Marald completing this ritualistic offering, "Forgeries Vol.1, 1972-1984" stands as both thank you note and theft, proving that all music worth a damn is borrowed, broken, and passed between friends.

For fans of:
Black Sabbath, Sleep, Electric Wizard, Monolord, Windhand, YOB, Bongripper, Conan
