Bosse-De-Nage - All Fours


I'm going to slap the next hipster, post-hardcore band that calls itself black metal.  That being said, Bosse-De-Nage have built themselves a fine album of particularly ferocious post-hardcore.  As apparent from the album cover, All Fours is not interested in engaging the BM tropes they claim to share a genre space with.  But enough with the superficial.  The sound here is lush and emotionally potent.  Those DRUMS!  Clearly the highlight throughout the album, this is one of the most live mixtures of the energetic, technical, and fast kit work I have ever heard.  The gritty production adds to the frenetic qualities while disparing, jangly guitars, rumbly bass, and tortured vocals come together forming a Voltron of sorrow.  It's only 7 CAD on bandcamp.
