They should fix their Spotify then cuz it scrobbles incorrectly due to the space



I know I'm nitpicky but, it's gonna cause listens bought from bandcamp and listens from Spotify to be counted separately making the band look half as popular as they really are at least on Last.fm

Yeah I reported the space to the label.when the single came out but it hasn't been fixed yet.

"Theoretically, the inverse could work too (i.e. writing even more compressed, breakneck songs"

Yeah I feel this tbh - atm my ~issue(?) is that almost every track is full of moments where I'm like "WOAH there, bring that back, I want more of that" and it ends up a lil wall-to-wall; can see how a little extra focus could send it harder and faster ;]

Yeah that's basically the approach, a flash of cool riffs that never get repeated, it's just the way Miki likes to come up with songs. We have a lot of new material, very cool stuff, I'm coming up with the drum beats this time, instead of learning what the last drummer did, so it's been fun.

I guess we'll hit the studio soonish, there has been talks about doing smth short, like a three track EP, but we'll see.

I find the vocals extremely grating. Is there a settling in period?

That's not very punk rock of you

"Is there a settling in period? "

No, I'm afraid. Well, maybe. I don't know.

Depends on how accustomed you are to rough/unorthodox punk/experimental vocals. If you're not, it could take a long time to "set in", or it might never click.

For this style, these vocals are pretty normal to my ears (on the scale of weirdness, that is; in terms of performance quality, they're quite impressive).

Exposure breeds familiarity. So yes, there is settling in period. It is for the the style as a whole though, not just this album. Ten years ago I couldn't stand the "harsh" vocals of black metal. If there are elements of this style of music that keep you coming back, you'll adapt over time.

I might lower this to a 3.5 tbh, it's good, but I wish the songs were more distinctive



HOMMAGE is amazing though

We can still be friends Ars

Unfortunately I think this is gonna be the album that finally forces me to admit that, no matter how much I want it to be, this particular style of noise rock is just not really my thing. Plenty of impressive moments here though, especially in the drumming!

What style is that? Aggressive? Japanese? Fast?

like focused primarily on weird note-y riffs and tempo shifts and sort of just throwing as much craziness at the listener as possible. idk call me basic but I think I'm kinda ride-or-die for heavy, midtempo albinicore as far as noise rock goes

Not crazy at all Komp, this branches towards hardcore punk than Albini's mid-tempo noise rock, it's funny though cause the bass player is a big fan of Albini, Touch and Go records, etc.

Interesting, I can definitely hear it somewhat in spots, and yeah the hardcore punk leanings come through a lot too! I think it's similarly just not quite the raw, straightforward hardcore I tend to go for. Sort of a combination of 2 good genres, just borrowing stuff from each one that I personally don't connect with as deeply
