Fuzz is currently gearing up for the premiere of the band’s Levitation Sessions webcast, and has offered fans a preview with “The 7th Terror”. The stream, set for April 24th at 8 p.m. ET, will mark the first live performance of any kind by the Ty Segall-led stoner metal outfit in five years.
The opening track to the band’s 2015 sophomore album II, “The 7th Terror” is an immediate dose of high-octane metal. In comparison to some of the more downtempo sludge-rock leanings of the Fuzz catalogue, the track is not so much an anomaly as it is representative of the band’s versatile range. Even the song itself exists as a microcosm of the group’s abilities as Ty Segall, guitarist Charles Moothart, and bassist Chad Ubdovich toggle through a variety of moods and rhythms.
In addition to serving as Fuzz’s first show in five years, the Levitation Sessions will also mark the band’s first public appearance together since the release of 2020’s III.
“There was an intense sense of anxiety between the three of us. ‘Playing a show’ was a totally foreign concept at this point, but there was also some kind of primal instinct of how to come together as a band in real time,” Fuzz said in a statement. “This is the first time we had played songs from III in the context of a set, and we found new footing on some of the old songs. This lead us down avenues we hadn’t seen in rehearsal. To find ourselves in the space right in between ‘lost’ and ‘found’ (aka live) was both alarming and electrifying after having been away from it for so long.”
