Barren have released "Blades", the second single from Verderf, and it is about the worst reading of our species available.
"Blades envisions a world where war is not an anomaly, but humanity's purest instinct," said Matías Dupont, who plays guitar and sings. "Driven by an insatiable hunger for power, mankind leaves only an endless wasteland of violence in its wake."
What carries it is what the trio call chainsaw grind: HM-2 guitar filth, blastbeats that do not let up, and riffing broken open by mid tempo sections and sudden turns. They formed in Flanders in 2017 and have put out demos, EPs, splits and the album I in 2022.
