Band Of The Week - ThE PhysicistS

Introducing this week's Band of the week - ThE PhysicistS (and, yes, that is the correct was to type it).  All members of the group are Finnish and all members are former scientists who decided to turn in their lab coats for leather jackets and form a metal band.  Think: Rob Zombie-ish, NIN meets Megadeth and makes the keyboards a bit more badass.   However you put it (I'm think "alt metal"), these guys are pretty great.

Just last week on the 14th, ThE PhysicistS released a new song titled “Wayne Newton Hulabaloo”.  From what I could gather up on their website, this is the band's first song since they released an EP in 2008 titled The Old Religion.  Check out the video below:

Pretty kickass, eh?   Below is some of their older stuff.   Tell me that "Oppenheimer" doesn't remind you of Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction".   I dare ya.

The band's hilarious and clever bio can be read in full after the jump.......  (I'd put it here but it's longer than an organic polymer chain molecule.    Wacka Wacka Wacka!!)

"Time Event
t=0 The universe starts to expand
10exp-44 s The universe can be described on mathematical terms.
10-12 100 60000 BC The first human comes to exist.
500 BC 100 BC 1600 1900 < 2000 AC Quantum mechanics destroys determinism in science. Cosmology becomes a science. String theories and standard model of particle physics arise. Black Sabbath invents heavy metal.
2004 AC The first loops for the Physicists are created
2006 AC The Physicists consists of 3 hardcore scientists :MC Omega 0 ( ESA Space research, guitar, vocals, loops ), Gravitinus XVI ( Feynman models, guitar ), Eerosmith ( Maritime logistics, drums ) The Physicists perform their first gig on Uusi ylioppilastalo. Result is chaos; flying debris and police.
2007 AC The Physicists plays the dirtiest bars in Helsinki and shittiest movie festivals on the globe. The first CD; Welcome to the dark room is published. The feedback is controversial, ranging from glorious applause to total denial to the very existence of such noise.
2008 AC The Physicists rises up to play bigger Rockclubs in Helsinki. The band gets radio- and press time. The second CD: The old religion is published. The raging minds and artistical views of MC Omega Zero and Gravitinus XVI clash together hard, resulting in the Gravitinus leaving the band. A bass player F.P. Meridian (Dimensional geological analysis) joins in.
2009 AC A deeply troubled astronomer, David, joins in to handle rhythm guitar. Not concerned with metal, David Brings in tones of punk and Hawaian slides. Among doing gigs, the Physicists reserves studiotime to record their first full lenght album: Introduction to chaos theory.
2010 The recording takes a lot longer than expected, in a fact the whole year. And then some. To understand this completely you must remember that ThE Physicists are both alcoholists and perfectionists. The endless mixing and mastering rumble gets on everybodys nerves, not to mention wallets and finally leads to David quitting the band. During the last months of the year, The Physicists at last finds a producer with enough insight, vision and excitement concerning the project to finally mix and produce the album. Him being no other than the infamous Hiili Hiilesmaa, man behind HIM and Apocalyptica to name just a few. Around the same time a record company, Inverse/Firebox records takes contact. They are fucked up enough to take Da laboratory under their label!! Crraazzyy.
2011 ThE PhysicistS plays major Helsinki venues; Bar Loose, On The Rocks, Nosturi and Bäkkäri. The record "Observation" is released 10.08. Some of the reviews here:

2012 Eerosmith is old. There´s no arguing that. Like centuries old, propably older than time itself. In full understanding he now moves on to the Blues-league; the guys playing at the corner of the bar with a whiskey in one hand and a whore in another. Goodbye Eerosmith!! Without you the world would be a better place with no burden called ThE PhysicistS to carry around!! Eerosmith´s chair is taken on by Bill Rubin of which we will present an in-depth interview with very soon. In cosmological timescale!! Like never!! Meanwhile the Physicists finally get their first video released. This highly controversial beyond PG-visual stream of lunacy is greeted with panic and bewilderment all over the globe. Check it out yourself. Go to youtube now!! Hurry!! The band continues to widen their gig-horizon, them negotiating gigs over the Finnish border as we speak. As MC Omega Zeros delirium deepens he decides to registrate Elektrik Products.He is now an official gig-promoter!! And did I mention an evil string theorist!! 500 BC 100 BC 1600 1900 < 2000 AC Quantum mechanics destroys determinism in science. Cosmology becomes a science.
