The moment you press play on this French trio’s debut, you’re greeted with an intense flurry of discordant, howling noise. If you suspect an attempt to get your attention early before settling into something more manageable, think again. Cleaver deal in that sound and intense delivery that early 00s hardcore/ grindcore mashup artists like Burnt By The Sun excelled in. The band themselves cite that era as an influence, namechecking Poison The Well and Botch, but those bands did deploy the odd passage of melody. With the exception of the opening of Inner Voice and the middle of Thudding Stares, there are no such concessions here. This is an impressively visceral opening statement.
