History

Formation and No One Should Read This (2017–2020)

Tallah was formed in Pennsylvania in 2017 by drummer Max Portnoy (son of Dream Theater's drummer Mike Portnoy), Next to None lead guitarist Derrick Schneider, rhythm guitarist Nick Malfara, [1] and bassist Andrew Cooper. [2] They also added second rhythm guitarist AJ Wisniewski in late 2017, while looking for a vocalist to front the band. Portnoy knew of future singer Justin Bonitz through Bonitz's YouTube channels, Hungry Lights, [3] [4] and through Bonitz winning a competition created by Jared Dines. [2] Bonitz joined the band on January 1, 2018. [2] At the end of 2017, the band had already recorded instrumental demos for their EP No One Should Read This and within six days Bonitz had written lyrics and self-recorded vocals for each track. [2] Their first live performance was on January 7, 2018. [5]

After playing their first few shows as a six-piece, Malfara left Tallah in March 2018. One month later, the band announced their first tour, titled "The Ontology Tour", to begin in May. [6] While on tour, the band released a music video for their first single, "Placenta." [7] [8] In June 2018, Wisniewski left the band, and they picked up Eric Novroski as their new rhythm guitarist.

[15] [16] A security guard told him to get down, leading to Bonitz punching and kicking the guard. [15] [16] Bonitz claims he did not know the person was a security guard and that they violently grabbed him first while he was still hanging from an I-beam. [15] [16] He was subsequently arrested before being released on bail. [15] [16]

Artistry

Style and influences

Tallah's has been referred to as a nu metalcore or "nu-core" band and more specifically as nu metal, metalcore, alternative metal, and rap metal. The band's music also contains elements of deathcore, death metal, hardcore, extreme metal, mathcore, electronic, and industrial. [note 1] John D. Buchanan of AllMusic described Tallah as a "nu-core" quartet...[that brings] back the spirit of early-2000s nu-metal with gnarly riffs, whipcrack drums, electronic textures, and tortured vocals." [2] AllMusic also noted influences from "contemporary hardcore". [2] According to Next Mosh, "[Tallah's music includes]...screaming vocals [mixed] with melodic choruses and driving bass guitar with deep and dirty tones, syncing up effortlessly with the thunderous bellow of drums and the screeching ping of the snare." [76] Phillip Trapp of Revolver described their second album, The Generation of Danger, as "a ferocious fusion of early Slipknot intensity — spitfire vocals and grooves that dig deep...and modern hardcore savagery à la Vein.fm and Knocked Loose." [67]

Vocalist Justin Bonitz cites Slipknot, Linkin Park, Korn, System of a Down, Code Orange, Fire from the Gods, and Knocked Loose as his influences. [65] Drummer Max Portnoy cites Joey Jordison and Chris Adler as his influences. [77]

Songwriting and lyrical themes

The band's vocalist, Justin Bonitz, writes the lyrics and tends to focus on themes and writing concept albums. [5] The band's debut album, Matriphagy , is about a "man who is trapped in a house, under the thumb of his mother, and begins to lose his mind and touch insanity as he scrambles to escape. The album touches on oppression, society’s social engineering, nature vs. nurture, metaphysics, and all kinds of psychological themes." [5] Their second album, The Generation of Danger , follows a mad scientist who works on behalf of a large corporation. He becomes increasingly frustrated due to his inventions being credited to the company rather than himself, eventually leading him to force the company to take part in "the greatest experiment the world of science has ever seen". [78] The story of their third album, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment, takes place on an alien planet and centers on a nurse "Ana" and an assassin "Sheelah"—a group of beings tasks Ana and Sheelah with performing tasks meant to test their morals and values. The themes include morality, personal beliefs, and determining how to fit within a society. [56]
