     I only came across this band recently and definitely wish I was aware of them back when they were releasing because A) this shit rules and B) I can't find me that first EP anywhere. I'm sure many readers know/love Daitro and by extension Yarostan, Aleska, Massa Nera, and Amanda Woodward, so you'll be stoked on France's ERRATA. The band's mixture of post-rock, post-hardcore, screamo and dare I say doom was a concoction I don't think I've heard a proper replication of (although Sed Non Satiata is a very close comparison), meaning that they really hit something special with their 8-song, 2013 LP 'L'autre Hemisphere'.

     Opener "Tour D'abandon" sets the tone immediately with a torrential downpour of commanding, heavy riffs and screams reminiscent of Daitro. This track is perhaps a tad misleading as the postier elements lay in wait for the second track "Entracte" which also happens to be triple the length. "Narcisse Est Mort" and "Le Sang Des Silènes" will hit the Amanda Woodward itch in any listener with searing vocals, mammoth instrumentals, and instrospective moments. Speaking of introspective, the 9:23 "Dernière Escale Avant Naufrage" spends a lot of time in the post-rock realm before picking up speed in the latter half. "Empreintes" is vaguely reminiscent of the opener but smoothed out a bit, and closer "L’éperdu Des Astres" is the lengthiest of the more screamo-driven tracks but packs a serious whallop, tying it for the strongest song on the album with tracks one and three.

     If anyone digs up that cdrEP of 'Modus Operandi' please let me know or post it in the comments 💗
