This one will be tough to describe so I will try to use few words (but more words than I spent on the glorious TOURIST tape a couple of days ago). SUCCUBUS are clearly drawing from classic goth and dark wave but SUCCUBUS are just as clearly rooted in punk sounds so the result is....different. They hit like retro dark wave but they also beg to be filed alongside RAKTA and UNA BÉSTIA INCONTROLABLE and they sound like fukkn punks, particularly on "Judas." Only three songs on 2020's Coherence - soaring and determined. They are still active and still pushing boundaries...

This is some brilliant shit. Its so rare that punks do something actually new under the sun, but the use of autotune(?) or whatever on the singers voice is genuinely new and fascinating. Makes it sound way cooler than typical reverb from the 1,000th punk band this year, but also makes her voice blend in with the guitar riffs at certain points. Like i can't tell where her voice stops and the guitar starts. I've only ever heard a creative vocal effect like that before on a split by, Chispas maybe? Wild and cool. Thanks as always.
