Background information about 'FORGERIES VOL.1, 1972-1984'

What a wild ride 16 have crafted with "Forgeries Vol.1, 1972-1984" – their 11th full-length that throws originality out the window and embraces the raw honesty of musical theft! This isn't your typical covers album; it's a sonic possession ritual where the band channels their deepest influences through their signature distortion-heavy lens. From Scorpions' "Can't Get Enough" to Black Flag's brutal "Beat My Head Against The Wall", each track becomes a revelation rather than mere mimicry.

The magic happens when 16 transforms these classics into something entirely their own – bruised, weathered, and filtered through decades of lived experience. Whether they're tackling Blue Öyster Cult's "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" or giving the Bee Gees' "Tragedy" a crushing makeover, every song screams with the urgency that first dragged them into loud rooms and bad ideas. The artwork by Marald perfectly captures this ritualistic approach – iconic, unsettling, and completely unafraid. This is tribute as translation, influence absorbed and re-expressed without permission, proving that all music worth a damn is borrowed, broken, and passed on between friends.

For fans of:
Sleep, Electric Wizard, Monolord, YOB, Bongripper
