(Terre Ferme) 2025.
CD/LP/digital
Post metal/electronic/alter/indie rock/industrial – FRANCE
Some time ago, I had the opportunity to write about the previous, third release of this French group, stationed in Paris. At the end of October, last 2025, they released their fourth album in a row called „Architecture du Vertige,“ which included 7 songs.
I must admit that this band has brought me positive vibes about their way of thinking and their overall musical approach, which is quite complex, prone to experimentation, and original enough to potentially intrigue the attention of the listening audience. The approach to songs, as well as the way of making music, is experimental, relying mostly on post-metal traces, where electronic influences with additions of other stylistic details create a complete crossover.
Mood changes, atmospheric shifts, from screamo vocalizing to softened, but no less dark and depressive turns, are often present in their music. However, the freedom in exploring conceptual directions is fascinating in their case, showing that at no moment do they settle for „average“ solutions. It seems that they continue in the expected direction, and this album represents an additional step forward in mapping out their artistic ideas, as well as in their overall performance progression.
Pre izvesnog vremena imao sam priliku da pišem o prethodnom, trećem albumu ovog Francuskog sastava, stacioniranog u Parizu.
Krajem oktobra, prošle 2025-e objavili su svoj četvrti po redu album naziva „Architecture du Vertige, na kojem se našlo 7 pesama.
Moram priznati da mi je ovaj sastav uneo pozitivne vibracije o svom načinu razmišljanja i generalno muzičkoj postavci, koja je prilično složena, sklona eksperimentisanju i dovoljno originalna da bi mogla da zaintrigrira pažnju slušalačke populacije. Pristup pesmama, kao i načinu muziciranja je eksperimentalan, oslonjen najviše na post metal tragove, gde elektronski uplivi sa dodacima i drugih stilskih detalja daju jedan potpuni crossover.
Promene raspoloženja, atmosferičnosti, od screamo vokaliziranja do ublaženih, ali ništa manje mračnih i depresivnijih iskoraka, često su prisutni u njihovoj muzici. Ali, sloboda u istraživanju idejnih smernica je u njihovom slučaju fascinantna, što pokazuje da se nijednog trenutka ne zadovoljavaju „prosečnim“ rešenjima. Čini se da nastavljaju u očekivanom smeru, i ovaj album predstavlja dodatni korak napred u trasiranju autorskih ideja, kao i generalno izvođačke progresije.
