It doesn't
take a whole lot of effort to guess that June will be kicking off to a great
start this year for us Parisians. Indeed, June the first is most definitely a
date you're going to want to mark on your calendars and get ready for, because
independent record label Deathwish Inc will be blessing us with a show lining
up a show with 4 bands, 4 reasons not to miss this event under any
circumstances.
The boldly
named Young and in the Way will be
kicking things off with their terrorizing concoction of dirty, energetic Crust
punk drenched with loud, abrasive black metal. Their latest full-length
release, titled When life comes to death,
pulls no punches, as evidenced by the bold album art displaying a clenched fist
wielding an army knife.
Chicago-based
act Harm's way will be there to
follow things off with their blunt, bone-crushing set of hardcore punk
delivered with the sonic ferocity of an old-school Swedish death metal act.
Don't expect any more respite from these pissed-off gentlemen, as their latest
release with Deathwish Inc. titled Rust
clearly shows that they have no intention of toning down their sound nor their
message.
Speaking of
which, if you're a fan of Swedish buzzsaw guitar tones, hardcore/grindcore act Trap Them should most likely be a well-established
band for your musical repertoire. The band started out in 2001 and has quickly
earned itself a rock solid reputation in the hardcore punk scene, blowing us
away with one crushing release after the other. Amongst the bands' intense
sound one can find influences from Crust punk, D-beat, Hardcore, Swedish death
metal and Grindcore all clenched together and ready to be delivered straight to
your face. It's dark, it's blood-pumping and it's incredibly effective: what more
could you possibly ask for?
Up on top
of the roster of bands for the evening is a band whom I doubt really needs much
of an introduction. You'll have trouble finding a hardcore show without at
least one fan bearing the mark of frontman Jacob Bannons' iconic band art.
Simply put, Converge are one of the
most innovative and influential bands in the hardcore scene today, with their
sound having served as a blueprint for an entire generation of hardcore-derived
bands. 25 years into their career however, the Massachusetts-born quartet
remain a driving force for the scene with their untamable, chaotic and
groundbreaking sound delivered with an untarnished sense of honesty and passion.
From their debut album to their now classic Jane Doe and up to their latest
full length effort All we Love we leave
behind, Converge have yet to let their loyal fans down. Reinstating their
place as one of hardcore’s most intense live acts with every performance given,
Converge shows come nothing short of an unmissable event for fans of hardcore
punk and forward-thinking loud rock acts.
If you're
anything like some of my friends who were unfortunate enough to miss out on
Converge's sold-out show last year, I recommend not taking too long before
grabbing your tickets. Better safe than sorry, trust me on this one.
