A couple of weeks after the official of its two new efforts : a studio album called 'Voir' and a live recordings 'Live @ Ebullition' both released through Hummus Records, Swiss post-hardcore/heavy-post-rock/metal collective Darius just shared a brand new music video for the track "Cacassoulet" hosted by the Wherepostrockdweels YouTube Channel.
In addition to this news, 'Voir' et 'Live @ Ebullition' are still available on full-streaming + FREE DOWNLOAD on Bandcamp or CD, LP & Digital through Hummus Recs.
Following the releases of «Grain» and «Clôture», Darius' third opus «Voir» lives up to their reputation. After heading to Laval (FR) to meet with young producer Amaury Sauvé (Birds in Row), the five Fribourgers came back with a massive record whose overview is worthy of a CinemaScope western.
Their twenty-two guitar strings compose a surprising orchestral landscape that masterfully oscillates between abstract noise rock and instrumental post-rock. Their playing has refined although it hasn’t soothed; Darius’ formula stays the same. Being poles apart from effects, manners and make-up, these five lads play for thesake of passion, honor and camaraderie.
A beautiful live band to be taken in the face, with open arms, calm breath and abattling heart. [L. Jucker // Hummus Records]
Three guitars - what do they use them for ? Crushing sonic waves of instrumental grandeur. Darius manage orchestral songs without pompousness. Raw riffs. Simple and repetitive chords you wanna play with too much excitation. Riffs that hurt your wristand cover your guitar with blood. Riffs that once layered form an atypical, choral and fairly violent heavy instrumental rock. Like a big cake, made of real and healthy ingredients, nutritive, fat as fuck and surprisingly digest.
They’re obviously a live and down-earth band. No wonder then if they sound on record like they are in real-life: warm and frank, loud and fun.
