help Liars - Drum's Not Dead FAQ
Who are Drum and Mount Heart Attack in Drum's Not Dead?
They are opposing conceptual forces used across the album rather than conventional characters. Drum represents creative confidence and momentum, while Mount Heart Attack embodies fear, doubt, and inhibition.
What was included on the DVD packaged with Drum's Not Dead?
The release included three separate visual treatments covering the entire album. Angus Andrew, filmmaker Markus Wambsganss, and artist Julian Gross each created a full set of accompanying videos.
Why was Drum's Not Dead recorded in Berlin?
Liars recorded much of the album at Planet Roc, an East Berlin studio built around a former broadcasting facility. The room's acoustics helped shape the record's echoing percussion and unusually physical sound.
How does Drum's Not Dead differ from They Were Wrong, So We Drowned?
The 2006 album remains experimental but focuses more tightly on layered drums, repetition, and the conflict between Drum and Mount Heart Attack. Its predecessor used witchcraft imagery and deliberately abrasive noise as its organizing ideas.
