Cape Fear, North Carolina is a town whose name lives in infamy thanks to the 1962 psychological thriller and its 1991 remake. But another reason that the town has notoriety is because it’s the hometown to sludge/doom metal band Sourvein, which is fronted by vocalist/guitarist T Roy, a man who has fought tooth and nail to bring his music across the world. As a result, he’s been able to recently release Sourvein’s new album Aquatic Occult unto the masses.
To help celebrate the release of Aquatic Occult, we got Roy to share with us his thoughts on both the original and the remake of Cape Fear:
Well, I love both, I really do… Robert Mitchum is a bad ass, especially for his time. He is the pinnacle. I love the jazz club scene, with all of its attitude. Gregory Peck and Telly Savalas were great as well. Such an amazing film. It is simply a classic.
The remake is also great because Robert De Niro takes the character of Max Cady to a whole new level by pushing the limits. He scares everyone and is the guy you don’t want to mess with. His performance alone makes this version one of my all-time favorite movies and it’s on the Cape Fear river which is where I grew up.
Aquatic Occult features guest appearances from longtime supporter Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), Dave Capps (All Tore Up), Mike Dean (Corrosion of Conformity), and many more. You can pick up your copy of via Metal Blade Records.
