### – Nasilno LP (PDV Records)

Nasilno” is a debut full-length album by ###, a Croatian instrumental quartet that demands your utmost attention if you’re into post-rock and noise rock sound. The group introduced itself with “Tamo To Ne Mogu, Ovde To Ne Želim” and “Negativ, Cvijeće,” two exceptional singles, vividly showcasing what ### is all about. Soundwise, these folks explore the fundamentals of post-rock, but they also incorporate many properties from noise rock, post-hardcore, punk rock, experimental rock, and art rock. These experimentations with many different but complementary genres resulted in a colossal wall of raw, abrasive, fuzzy, but equally melodic, harmonious, ethereal sound. Their sound is versatile, and eclectic, but unified at the same time.

These experienced musicians fully stacked their compositions with more than enough mindblowing instrumentations, so you’ll not feel like you need vocals at all. Every segment of each song comes with immensely distorted themes, leads, melodies, and harmonies, backed up with profoundly heavy chord progressions and riffs. The extremely powerful basslines are entirely drenched in a generous serving of fuzz distortion, offering another layer of abrasiveness over the top. However, the excellent sound quality that meets all the trends in modern production works to the advantage of these instrumentations, so you’ll hear even the tiniest nuances, articulations, maneuvers, and movements delivered by the band. Of course, this material wouldn’t sound complete without outstanding drumming performance, which provides groove and keeps the remainder of the band in line with robust, dynamic, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics. Even with so many layers of distorted orchestrations, ### sounds entirely polished from scratch to finish.

“Nasilno” embraces everything you dearly love about post-rock, noise rock, post-hardcore, experimental, and art rock music. ### fully stacked these songs with many catchy themes that immediately grab and hold your attention until the end. Another detail that makes “Nasilno” such a marvelous album is their songwriting, composing, arranging, recording, and producing techniques. Every track comes with a perfect structure that carries so many sonic delicacies and surprises, making this material even more detailed and ear-appealing. You should check out “Nasilno” as soon as possible because it’s one of the best instrumental albums you’ve heard in a while. As soon as you press play, you’ll notice that ### consists of clever, talented, experienced musicians who know what they’re doing. The album comes on standard black vinyl housed in a high-quality vinyl jacket decorated with black abstract artwork on a neon pink background. The cover art is equally effective, just like their sound. Head to PDV Records for more information about ordering. Don’t miss it!
