My friend Artemy from Lucidity/Smile To The Wind fame recently sent me this album and it made my fucking jaw drop...just like today's USA election results. Said results have put my mental state into disarray and the only remedy I can think of right now is listening to something as livid as I am. Enter HOARI. Their debut EP consists of six absolutely devastating chaotic hardcore tracks that'll have you smacking your own head on the table over and over again, thus hopefully knocking out the memory of Trump becoming a U.S. dictator (at least for a few seconds).
The songs mildly resemble stuff heard in Euglena as they share at least one member, which means the songs are fast, chaotic, change direction quickly, and straight up fucking slay. Opener "26.17.1.4.1" isn't the best track to get acquainted with the band as it serves as an eerie instrumental introduction to the chaos that ensues upon starting "Обретение". This second track wastes no time in letting you know that they ain't fucking around, with wild, frantic, and unrestrained instrumentals paired with dual screaming from some of sickest vocalists around. "Гвозди Гнева" is 1:19 of unhinged, blackened, chaotic hardcore that rushes violently into "В Объятиях Бездны", another banger but with more instrumental fuckery and flourishes of the obtuse, with a final 30 seconds that will bring your mom to tears. "Единое Целое" deserved it's very own music video (embedded below) and gives me a "Fault and Fracture" by Converge kinda vibe. Closer "Церемония" is by far the lengthiest track (seven minutes and change, almost four minutes longer than any other song) and dips into the darkest aspects of the band, stretching the crushing nightmare out to last all night.

I don't know if they have physicals or more material coming, but I am foaming at the mouth over here.
