Kollapse AR

With titles alluding to the life cycle of an insect, AR ("Scars" for non-Scandinavians) deals with the human psyche in its most base forms. The album is meant to be a bruising and challenging encounter with the ugly, shameful, and disappointing parts of the human experience. It confronts the listener head-on with all the noise, desperate and threatening screams, and brutality this three-piece can deliver.

We purposefully recorded these songs to be abrasive and angular to force the listener to feel the sweaty anxiety and sonic grime. Using the album as a way of dealing with personal issues, both past and present, it is an amalgamation of experiences lived and experiences common on the road.

Mining similar sonic territory as KEN MODE, SUMAC, SWANS, UNSANE and BLACK SHEEP WALL, but maintaining a distinctly Scandinavian identity, AR will scratch a certain aching itch whilst giving comfort to the lost and lonely
