"Donkey Punch est mort, vive Lodges!" Or, how the demise of one band instantly leads to the foundation of another, as so often happens. Paris-based Lodges are thus very recent but they wasted no time in coming up with their debut, «Walking On Hands And Knees", a fitting description of something we all seem to doing quite a lot lately. These french sound pretty pissed off about it, like a heavier and nastier Trash Talk mixed with Cursed and a hint of Converge. While that new Trap Them is still in the blender, this is more than enough to keep you going.
Another recent band hailing from the beautiful French capital, Deliverance are in stark contrast with, say, the Champs Elysées on a lovely and warm autumn Sunday afternoon. They attack the post-metal behemoth from a black metal standpoint, not shunning the ocasional tremolo picked section but definitely more concerned with riffs and the building of oppressive, dark atmospheres. Tales of doomsday are nothing new to write home about, but Deliverance do it quite well from the get go while displaying future potential.
Close your eyes and try to replay that thick, sludgy, downtuned, blissful tone of Eyehategod. Got it? Now you know pretty much how Cowards will blast out of your speakers, even though Paris is their hometown, courtesy of their new EP «Hoarder». But don't let that sound like they are copycats, as they only use that particular trait of NOLA's masters to wrap their hardcore-infused, menacing brand of sludge with a crust attitude. In fact, one quick look at their latest EP's cover tells you pretty much what you need to know. Except for the excellent 16 Horsepower cover at the end. Didn't see that one coming, now did you?
