Détresse - Pessimismes (Vinyl LP)

Facts Born from a transcontinental collision between Austria and Québec, this trio delivers its debut with Pessimismes, and it is exactly as crushing, bleak, and honest as the title suggests. This is not black metal with flowery post-rock touches or ambient escapism. It is sharp, emotionally raw, and utterly incurable. The riffs cut deep, the drums never let up, and the vocals come from somewhere that sounds like it hasn't seen daylight in years. The lyrics shift between French and German. Pessimismes does not try to be beautiful. It is six tracks of pure catharsis, forged from anguish, with some acoustic instruments by Azrael Trailovic for added atmosphere and artwork by Noircevr that matches the tone perfectly. Vinyl LP.
