Cowards - Hoarder

French band Cowards play a mix of raw sounding hardcore

and sludge with a feral crust attitude.

This is brutal stuff with no guitar leads or solos, just crushing

riffs played with wild abandon - overlaid with vicious, hate

filled vocals. The dark, claustrophobic production suits the

songs perfectly.

Heavier and slower than "Shooting Blanks & Pills" from 2012,

these tracks suffocate with the weight of despair and fury.

There is a chaotic edge that threatens to collapse into a wall

of noise but the strong arrangements manage to pull things

back from the edge.

Ending with a fantastic cover of "Blessed Persistence" by 16 

Horsepower, this EP shows Cowards at their best and proving

themselves to be an unstoppable force of nature.

Released on 15th September from Throatruiner Records
