RAC / Oi!

CHAUVES POURRIS was a French skinhead band that was active from 1986 to 1993 and shone during this time alongside other combos from the country of the Gauls such as Legion 88, Bunker 84, Brutal Combat and Evil Skins. In 1992, their last album, the LP “Vaterland”, was released on Herbert Egoldt’s Brühl label Rock-O-Rama Records. This work also relied on the tried and tested mix of powerful Oi!/Punk and socially critical themes, with the title conveying a strong political undertone. “Fatherland” reflected the increasing frustration and social tensions of the time when the songs on this record were created.

Christian Cosentino’s highly acclaimed second album is finally available on vinyl. Melodic and symphonic black metal with a heavy load of progressive elements, taking it another step further than his previous ‘Lawn’ album. Better yet, this new album builds further on the foundations made on ‘Lawn’ with a ton of layers, clean and shrieking vocals and a session drummer that goes up to 300 bpm. Impressive, to say the least.

The songs on this album have, up til this point, only been available on the long sold out extended CD versions of “The Devil´s Songs” that were put out by Dark Dungeon Music and Cold Meat Industry, respectively. The song “The Devil Must Kill” has only ever been available on the Cold Meat Industry compilation CD “Absolute Supper”.

These songs were all recorded not too long after the initial 5 songs (Part 1: Dance of The Dead) that originally appeared on the 10″ EP “The Devil´s Songs” in 1997. By their very nature, these songs are a lot more experimental, and rely heavily on atmospherics, with the exception of “The Devil Must Kill”, which was recorded a bit later, on it´s own, and is a bit of a return to the original “The Devil´s Songs” sounds, albeit the only song with sung vocals Cintecele Diavolui ever did.

Impervious to any form of classification, Circle of Ouroborus generate an amalgamation of styles that is utterly their own creation.
Riffs are emotive while burrowing deep within the recesses of the mind, imparting themselves into the subconscious.
The vocals sit in a purgatory of tortured spoken singing, heavy with reverberation echoing across the instrumentation.
Each track effortlessly drifts into indiscriminate soundscapes with curiosities hidden throughout, providing the listener a different experience upon each visit. Another stellar entry into their ever evolving discography that should not be missed.

Their 2023 latest album on LP.

With “Lumi Vaientaa Kysymykse” we can see still some elements of recent CoO albums, with a lot of soothing, shoegazing melodies passing through, however the pace is rather toned down into a more dragging and Doomy pace, often reminiscing with Katatonia, both in tempo as melody wise, and with an approach more akin to records like “Kuuhun Kahlittu” and some part which are particularly metallic and acrid, such as the beginning of the second track, almost closer to Atvar’s work under Kêres. The Post-Punk basslines however are still always there creating their own shamanistic, hypnotic sound, as well as the feverish experimentalism characteristc of 70s and 80s Psych and Folk rock and adjacent much present in the keyboards and daring, outsider guitarwork, particularly in “Lankeemus”.
