Duft has released a video for “Instant Gratification“, first single taken from the debut album “Altar Of Instant Gratification” to be released on May 17th by Scarlet Records.
The Icelandic underground heavy new sensation provides an unrelenting sonic assault that ensures headbanging from the first riff to the last; the titletrack of the album describes the aggressive alienation one feels when surrounded by people who are too busy in childish pursuits of instant gratifications and avoiding pain to embrace the fact that the world is a nasty hardcore place.
Recorded and engineered by Leifur Örn Kaldal and Þorsteinn Gunnar Friðriksson (Une Misère) at Veldið Studio;
drums recorded by Benjamin Bent Árnason (Une Misère);
darkly illustrated by David Demeret & Heresie Studio (Imperium Dekadenz);
FFO: Code Orange, Jesus Piece, Zulu, End, Slipknot, God Forbid, Cancer Bats;
“Altar Of Instant Gratification” will be released in the following formats:
– jewel case CD
– vinyl LP
– digital
“Altar Of Instant Gratification” showcases relentless musicianship amidst the calculated chaos of crushing metallic riffs, frantic tempos, punishing breakdowns and the lyrical rage of hardcore punk.
The main theme of the Reykjavik’s band is the ever present feeling that Planet Earth is falling to pieces: most people are too busy in childish pursuits of instant gratifications and avoiding pain to embrace the fact that the world has become a bleak hardcore place!
To strive in it, you must be willing to show courage, think critically for yourself and don’t buy into dogmatic truths – hold yourself accountable and stay true.
This ain’t no record for fainted hearts, indeed.
