Valio Mierda is currently working in our new guitarist Lance Julander (aka) Big Tex Thriller... We are now a 4-man band and the shit sounds fat. We will be recording a full length L.P. which should be ready for release by late spring. Check out the shows page for up-coming dates.
A special thanx to Bastard Squad and The New Ancient Astronauts for hooking us up with our first few shows!!!

Valio Mierda has been a bunch of lazy cunts and have not tracked one damn thing for our supposed up coming release. Yo Val pass me that bowl..... that may explain our lack of work ethic. We have been hitting the scene and rockin the shit out of Denver's favorite venues. Catch us at The Lions Lair June 11th or The Blue Bird July 3rd........

Well, it finally happened. Valio Mierda stepped into the studio to record their 1st full length LP. So far 11 songs have been tracked with 3 more on the way. The band will be taking our time on the project but, we hope to have it completed by the end of August. We are laying low while we work on this project but, you can catch us Friday, July 30th at Cheers in Arvada Co. Thanx!! to everyone for the support, it's been a great start for us this year.

Valio Mierda is putting the finishing touches on the new record. We hope to have it finalized by late Sept. You can take a sneak listen to the ruffs from our most recent sessions. Evil Bitch, Killed By Death (by Moterhead) , Road Rage and War Machine are posted.....
Westword's Moovers and Shakers 2005
Backbeat scribes weigh in on their favorite new releases from the past year.
Valiomierda (Five Core Records). Although their disc clocks in at under half an hour, Valiomierda's Lance Julander, Igor Panasewicz, Bart McCrorey and Val Landrum manage to squeeze a helluva lot into that span. Their debut is jammed with vicious riffing, relentless beats, menacing vocals and lyrics presented in English, Portuguese and Spanish. But this band rocks in any language. -- Roberts

Valiomierda
Valiomierda has its priorities in order. Yes, the band delivers lyrics in Spanish and Portuguese as well as in English, but trilingualism is less important to cohorts Lance Julander, Val Landrum, Bart McCrorey and Igor Panasewicz than is rocking listeners to within an inch of their lives. Thanks to originals such as "Crucificados Pelo Sistema" (not to mention a crushing cover of Motorhead's "Killed by Death"), Valiomierda is lethal in any language.

Man, it's been a while since I have done a review. Don't get me wrong, I am always on the lookout for shit to turn y'all on to, but the new releases were looking really bad. I'm talking Gwen Stefani and Taylor Hicks bad. And my mailbox wasn't exactly overflowing with promos either, so life was basically sucking. Then, as if from on high, J.ed drops an email saying "I got some stuff for you to review, gimme your address". Dude's got some impeccable timing.
Of the three discs that showed up in my mailbox, Valiomierda was by far my favorite. Their self titled release is a mish mash of metal and punk subgenres, and in 1989 this release would have fit firmly into the "crossover" movement that was in full effect. What bands do you think of when I say crossover? Do you think of bands like DRI and SOD? Okay, well take those bands, add dashes of Sepultura, Napalm Death, and maybe just a touch of Brujeria and you have a really good idea of what you will be getting into with Valiomierda. The lyrics aren't exactly what you would call cerebral, but they can sing 'em in three languages so I guess it's all good. Valiomierda apparently doesn't believe in wasting time either, as the whole disc clocks in at a tidy 25 minutes. Perfect for the ADD crowd.
If you are looking for a new thrashy type band to add to your collection, Valiomierda would be worth the investment. There's only one thing that bothers me about this band, and that's the name. I can't for the life of me figure out what Valiomierda means. I mean the second part is easy enough, since mierda means shit. I can't translate "valio" to save my life, so I am gonna make a judgement call and say that "valio" is Portuguese for "whale". "Whale shit", I am sure that's it. I mean, what could possibly be more hardcore than whale shit? Fuck yeah, whale shit...
