TENAZ - "Demo 2024"
From the cold, isolating depths of Montreal winter, TENAZ released a refreshing blast of dark anarcho-punk onto the scene. From the gloomy stomp of "Pelear Por Pelear" to the melodic riffs and vocal delivery of "No Entro", this six song demo packs a punch. No over the top distortion or effects on the guitar or bass gives every instrument a bit or room to breathe, and makes the combination of melodic singing, shouting and occasional haunting back up vocals even more opportunities for boot stomping and head bopping. The track "Normal?" almost breaks into a spoken word moment at the tail end of the song, just enough of a nod to the classics in this genre without overstaying its welcome. Expect catchy riffs, poignant vocal delivery and stalwart but never too busy drumming.
