After playing a bunch of Lille, France’s dark hardcore actย BARQUE have joined us here on IDIOTEQ to give you their newest dense, almost exhausting tune calledย “Path Of The Hierophant”, a proper teaser for their upcoming EPย “Coffin Cutters”, to be released via severalย labels on 12″ vinyl, CD and tape on September 12th.ย Recorded by Nicolas Tarridec at BBK studio, and mixed/mastered byย Role at Die Tonmeisterei, the EP certainly does notย harkens back to when the hardcore genreย was still wet with afterbirth, but it’s a perfect example of where it has gone in the last couple of years. “Path Of The Hierophant”ย is a good indication of what the full record will sound like, so I strongly urge you to take a deep dive into this adventurous sonic assault.
“Coffin Cutters” EP will be officially outย on September 12th via French labelย Eastrain Records,ย IFB (US),ย Dingleberry records and distribution (Germany),ย 59SRSย (Russia),ย Rakkerpak Records (Denmark),ย Mosh Potatoes (Belgiium),ย Rubaiyat Records (UK),ย Rip Roaring Shit Storm Records (UK) and Italian labels Icore Produzioni,ย Cheap Talks,ย Insonnia Lunare Records andย Longrail Records.
The band commented:
“This track deals with what people expect of others,ย they want people to think alike, to follow the same path. It’s not reallyย about politics it’s more about human behaviours and relationships.”
Catch the band live at the record release showย ย in their hometown Lille on September 10th withย VETO and KYREST.
