Dis gepas dat Plebeian Grandstand se nuwe album my aan TDW voorgestel het, want dis ook die eerste raakpunt wat ek op Nether hoor. Sigil werp daardie dissonante “post-blackened hardcore” kaleidoskoop oor melangoliese landskappe van die beskawing se laaste asem. Dit maak pyn- en plesiertrekke in my nether regions wat my in muladhara se afgrondsrit sal hou tot dit doodloop. ‘n Klankbaan om jou laaste desperate dae mee weg te wallow. Moderniteit sal sorg vir die redes vir opgee. --LD XUL//EXCELSI
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
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
