Years ago I tried to focus different days on different themes. It started with noise punk on Mondays because....if you're gonna have a shit week then why not kick it off with some shit, right? I'm not dogmatic about it, but when my ears start to cringe from a distortion laden sonic assault I often think "This would be good for a Monday," and that's exactly what happened with PARÖTID. No guitar in sight, this Malaysian duo create a layer of midrange with the wash of cymbals so you can focus on the menacing rumble - it fukkn works. Obligatory reverbed vocals and in depth songs that move far beyond dis-formulaic hardcore or simple blown out crust, ending with the 5+ minute earnest dirge "Tamat" (a particularly bold move). Everything here just....works. Now go have a shit week.
