Comrade

ROUTINE DEATH may sound like a grim name for a band, but don't let the dark moniker fool you, these guys are serving up some killer tunes on their latest album, Comrade. This dynamic duo from somewhere in the spooky woods of Belgium has crafted a collection of tracks that are equal parts catchy and creepy. From the moment the fuzzed-out guitars kick in on opening track "Parallel Universes," you know you're in for a wild ride. The vocals are haunting, the beats are hypnotic, and the overall vibe is like if The Cure went on a bender with Crystal Castles. Tracks like "Spectral," with its pulsating synths and eerie whispers, will make you feel like you're at a goth rave in a graveyard. And "Synchronism" is a true standout, with its infectious chorus and twisted lyrics that will have you questioning reality. ROUTINE DEATH have truly nailed the balance between dark and danceable on Comrade. It's the kind of album that you'll want to blast at full volume while driving through the foggy moors on a moonlit night. So dim the lights, crank up the volume, and let ROUTINE DEATH lead you on a sonic journey unlike any other. These guys are definitely ones to watch in the underground music scene.
