поступь are a four-piece from Saratov in Russia and play a dark, intense, and violent form of screamo not unlike Lucidity, Cady, and June Paik. It's fast, technical, and moody, making the experience that much more immersive. On their debut EP 'лица' they weave between crushing moments and softer subterranean sections, with a perfect example being opener "(не) любовь". Next is "кем ты стал?" which is a dancier version of the band that still comes in bathed in vitriol (and panic chords). My personal fave is "правда" which is an absolute beast and incorporates the biggest of the band's breakdowns amidst a flurry of panic chords and wicked stop/starts. I love the opening of the song as well, as the tremello guitar builds on itself using slight alterations placed with unique timing - it's kind of Aspergers light.
Sometimes I randomly come across something in my music folder that has snuck in there and has been hiding ever since. I recently uncovered one of these in my 2025 folder (yeah it was mid-2026 by this time) and it fucking floored me. I then checked out the band again for this review to see they have published a new two-song banger in 2026. Fuck yes.

The 2026 EP 'юдоль' is just two songs and although they go hard, they don't quite reach the level of the aforementioned banger "правда". The first track "опухоль (feat. ГРИН)" sees the band moving slightly more into the hardcore direction, but once the 45-second mark hits the breakdown everything falls into place and I get it. Awesome track. The second track "всё пройдёт" begins like a post-hardcore track with some nice guitar and screamed vocals before delving directly back into German-sounding emo-violence. Fuck to the yes.
Very stoked to hear what comes next from this band!
