About Us
Located in Australia but never in the same room.
Fatmas is Iron T and and Sloppywallet.
They have recorded all their songs in the modern way of using personal digital audio work stations and sending the projects and files back and forth until they are satisfied.
Sloppywallet does all the production, using the skills that he has aquired over years of teaching himself the art and science of audio egineering. He has scoured the net for the elusive secrets of sound but on this journey has discovered the truth that most of his tonal breakthroughs and understandings have come in the form of epiphany type realisations long after the actual information was received. We are very happy with the resulting quality that our songs have under his adept treatment.
Avalanche
Three epic metal songs from the mystery of Sloppywallets torment. These are emotionally charged with a power that spreads to the listener and draws them into the struggle. The songs continue as classics of the genre, full of anger and yearning that remains unresolved. We invite you to join with us in confronting the avalanche.
Emerging Out of the Dark
This two track EP comprises offerings that are the creative product of Ion_T's song writing process. The first song which lends its name to the release is a consideration of the psychology of consciousness. It examines the conditions that are necessary for the continuation of awareness beyond the current identification of the physical body and its temporal identity. It expresses this possibility with a confidence and certainty that was born of a personal out-of-body experience.
The second tune Forgotten Song narrates an encounter that Iron_T had with a ceremonial magician. The two formed a mentor student bond where the magician challenged the then currently held views of the song writer. After taking some points of insight from the relationship Iron_T dissolved the bond over moral difference. The impact of this meeting resulted in this poignant rock ballad.
Darkcone of the Earth
The first two songs of this release were heavily influenced by the sound of British 90's Doom Bands Anathema and Paradise Lost. The songs themselves were actually written in the 1990's. Darkcone is exactly as it was conceived then but Doom has had the spice of collaboration added to it during the recording for this 2019 release, almost 30 years after its creation. The third song Infidelity is also from that earlier era but like a lot of the tunes from Sloppywallet's repertoire the lyrics were not fully completed and so had to be finished for this EP. Those first three songs have a genuine 90's vibe because they are from that cool musical time.
Here's Some Esoteric $h%#!
Music can bring your inner world of feeling, thoughts and desire to life. The lyrics can give these impulses form and populate that world with characters who seem to have an independent autonomy of their own. If re-affirmed through continued engagement with the vehicle of their manifestation, these characters can stay with you for years. These entities desire that more people engage with the songs and strengthen the medium of their being in the hope that they can one day escape the confines of their origin to become "A real boy.”
