It's a gloomy, atmospheric hardcore album with significant metalcore and sludge influences. Reminds me a lot of our local heroes Erdve.
Eerie compositions and dissonant riffs (especially on the interlude-like title track) that seem to come out of Silent Hill rather than this world are mixed with some mid-tempo beats and almost inhuman like vocals. As a vocalist I am not sure how exactly this effect is achieved, but it sounds unique for sure.
The guitars in the mix sound very heavy and it resonates well with the overall atmosphere, but it can be a bit too much if you like to re-play the same album few times at one take and I don't mean it as a bad thing.
If you miss soaking in autumn rain and seek for something fresh, but charged with strong, sulky emotions - definitely give it a spin. Not much happiness to be found on this one.
It's streaming on Spotify and you can buy physical at https://pilori.bandcamp.com/album/nos-morts
