Proudhon is back with a new EP.
The band’s Death/Grind basis is still here, but Thomas Hagmann (drums/vocals) and Antoine Hillion (guitar), who asked Till Batoz for some lyrics, are ready for some experiments.
As a reminder, I am only talking about music here, not about Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s ideology. The band draws inspiration from the philosopher, but without agreeing to all of his statements. Now we can focus on the seven songs composed with Noise/Noisecore/Minecore influences, combined with artworks from KLMT.
The band immediately pours upon us a seizing aggressivity, picking into raw violence, saturated rage and effectiveness, without forgetting some anarchist statements samples, to add rhythm to the EP. Some songs are really short, like N.L.F. or Ironie Joyeuse, staying into the Grindcore aesthetic, but the songs’ length gets extended with MØLØTØV, Kotidien or Barricade, a song on which we can hear a sentence our president said last year during a discourse. Believe me, it’s explosive.
In less than ten minutes, Proudhon developed its universe. More industrial, more disturbing, but still very effective, K.U.N.S.T. shows us musical violence from every universe perfectly melt together, beyond musical boundaries.
