French band Comity has kept a relatively low profile in the US despite releasing some of the most challenging and ultimately rewarding chaotic metal/hardcore material in the last decade. As with both their previous LP’s, The Journey Is Over Now is dense and layered, taking several listens to fully digest and appreciate. Split into four [...]

Review: 8.3/10 Comity is a band that took me by surprise. When I received their latest EP The Journey Is Over Now, I noticed that the four tracks are insanely long (clocking in between eight and eleven minutes). My first expectations was that it will be a long and droning hardcore EP with rare moments [...]

Extreme metal and hardcore punk have seen several shotgun weddings and messy divorces over the years. The results – seen in offspring subgenres like mathcore and blackened hardcore and everything in between – run the gamut of quality, but the one thing they all have in common is the absolute exhaustion felt while listening. And [...]

Od ekstremnosti nose/math/grindecore rocka i metala do eksperimentalija i akustičnih ambijenata ovaj četveročlani suludi francuski bend unatoč naslovu albuma kroz poantu daje naslutiti da njihovo ‘putovanje tek počinje’… Francuski kvartet iz Pariza osnovan je 1996., a danas radi u postavi Nicolas Brilliant (bubnjevi, prateći vokal), Yann Daniel (gitara, saksofon, prateći vokal), Francois Prigent (gitara, lap [...]

I francesi Comity s’inseriscono nel mondo musicale suonando una mistura che fonde rock, math e sludge/core, la musica è violenta, gode di aperture atmosferiche ampie e di profonde scanalature che insieme allo scream roco e acido alimentano il primo full-lenght intitolato « The Journey Is Over Now ». Cinquanta minuti suddivisi in quattro sezioni denominate semplicemente con [...]

To review Comity and their new album The Journey is Over Now is going to be a serious of statements that once you listen to it will prove to be incorrect or contradict each other.  The band is a paradox wrapped in an enigma that sparks a hedonistic violence that is hard to look away [...]

Wstyd przyznać, ale paryski kwartet, mimo 16 lat działalności, był mi dotychczas nieznany. Dopiero najnowsze dzieło zwróciło moją uwagę na ten zespół, bo goście faktycznie mają coś ciekawego do powiedzenia i elegancko wpisują się we współczesne, ekstremalnie eklektyczne czasy. Najnowsze dzieło zespołu to tylko cztery kawałki, za to ich długości imponują – od skromnych ośmiu [...]

The band labels themselves as extreme rock, but Comity actually play a mix of progressive hardcore and experimental metal. While The Journey Is Over Now is only four tracks, it’s over fifty minutes in length. The first track, “Part I”, is over eleven minutes. Starting off with some distant yelling and building up, the song [...]

This is a hell of a noisy and contorted release, but a quite brilliant, terrifying and hypnotizing one. And once again, Throatruiner Records give away the digital version for free, “name your price” and download/eventually buy the album or use the direct link from Mediafire – everything is there on the label’s Bandcamp page. We [...]
