PERFUME RIVER – CONCRETE WINTER CS by curtainfire
Perfumer River returns yet again with a tape release through Curtain Fire titled Concrete Winter. This five minute long hail of noise disorientation is the band’s second release of lofi hardcore d-beat noise much in the same vein as their last release, No Wind.
The tape starts of with the intro song “Raise the White Flag,” sounds of planes flying by screaming at high pitch and the vocalist’s reverberating overdriven yells pounding through like mortar fire. Making it through the opener, the next song “My Only Master” kicks in with the buzziest of guitar riffs. Ferociously the vocals attack, the words are almost unintelligible besides the fact that there are only two lines of lyrics repeated constantly over the fuzzy guitar, straight forward hardcore drums and droning bass that pound the message into your ears.
The next two songs “Suffering Bastard” and “P.O.W.” follow one right after another in the same noisy hardcore fashion. The closer “Never Free” begins with drums and guitar pounding in a pissed off riff and then the vocals jump in yelling “this is not real/this is a farce” in echoing anger. A dizzying downward spiral of guitars and bass kick in for the “chorus” as the singer belts out “I want to be free/I know i’m not.”
Perfumer River’s Concrete Winter is five minutes in a war torn fallout zone of consciousness and leaves you wanting more. Perfume River’s “Concrete Winter” can be picked from Curtain Fire.
