Fallait prévenir que l’opulence ne durerait pas, on se serait baffrés à en gerber. Mendie des quignons et rampe pour les miettes. Ravale tes bas-instincts, planque ta misère. Tout est vain. Deviens ce que tu es, hais ce que tu deviens. Une bête de plus parmi les autres. C’est que les néons ne seront jamais assez blafards pour voiler l’écume.
"You should have warned us that the opulence would not last, we would have pigged ourselves until we puke. Beg for crusts and crawl for crumbs. Swallow your low instincts, stash your misery. Everything is vain. Become what you are, hate what you become. Another beast among the others. It’s that neons will never be pale enough to veil the froth."
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
The stygian duo explore themes of gender dysphoria and oppressive institutions through sludgy doom with a pitch-black underbelly. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2021
The UK four-piece summon the ghosts of metal past to create an unsparing album that's unmistakably contemporary. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 30, 2022
"Curse These Metal Hands" parlays the UK bands' chemistry into a record which—for all its tinnitus-inducing ferocity and elegiac arrangements—practically drips with transcendent joy. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 19, 2019
A veritable masterpiece in dissonance and aural disorientation. The angular, contorted pseudo-riffs truly beckon of Deathspell Omega (a comparison that I make with no other band), but this particular warped cacophony is otherwise inimitable. Sugammadex
