Thunder rolls afar, unremitting rain, awaited gloomy deliverance gets under your skin. Sudden storm of unleashed instruments then quietness, absolute serenity.  At the gates of hell or heaven depending on the listener’s philosophy.  Cleverly mixing some kind of modern & ambient Black-Metal with Post-Hardcore tones, DÉLUGE does what has to be done whether you want it or not.

Brussels-based MONT-DORÉ is a Belgian collective gathered around a manifesto, as they describe it, concerning violence and peace in the act of climbing sensibilities.    Their first EP Escalades offered a vicious blend of screamo and DIY hardcore, and saw them hit stages together with the likes of ’68, Birds In Row, Year Of No Light, Celeste, ZZZ’s, Raketkanon, This Will Destroy You and Death Engine.    Mont-Doré returned with FRACTURES, an album with a more refined sound, yet still dangling over the edges of emergency. Far from being placated, FRACTURES the sound of a band violently confronting its inner-self, cranking out a visceral sonic amalgam somewhere between screamo, post-rock and post-hardcore. 

Yurodivy : Eccentric figure who is outside conventional society. His madness is ambiguous, and can be real or simulated. He is able to say truths which others cannot, as a figure not subject to earthly control or judgment. Everybody can be somebody’s fool.
