German band Coma Seashore enthrall with a classy, impassioned rock sound all through their new EP, Ardour/Bliss. The discharge represents the third and remaining installment from their Scapegoat Revisited EP sequence, which celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of their debut album, The Scapegoat’s Agony, launched in 1995. The band notes this new EP’s title as “an allusion to the play “Ready for Godot” by Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett and factors in direction of the – for probably the most half – painful and excruciating emotional odyssey of the unnamed antihero.”
“Ardour” opens the EP with compelling intrigue. Hazy guitar strums and spoken-word ruminations on ardour construct with creakily fulfilling momentum, arising into the “the place is my ardour?” resonance as string-laden pulsations emanate alongside. A wailing electrical guitar outpouring follows, audibly feeling like a shedding of palpable emotion as one laments a waning sense of well-being. “Bliss” follows with equally fascinating immersion, traversing from grungy guitar jangles into an erupting array of guitar distortion; “you’ll be blissful whenever you don’t need to assume,” angst-y vocals exude, conveying the story of an antihero beholden to foreboding apocalyptic visions.
Elsewhere, “Nothing Proper” showcases the band’s hard-rocking vigor, attaining a punk-friendly nostalgia in its ardent vocals and ceaseless bouts of distortion. “The Last Door” concludes the EP, persevering with the prior monitor’s heavy rock attraction and growling vocal aggression. “Ardour” and “Bliss” compel of their emotive, dynamic rock soundscapes, whereas the EP finishes with three tracks attaining an infectiously punk/hard-rock intertwining. The result’s a gripping, enthusiastically memorable success of an EP from Coma Seashore.
