(Hardcore / Noise) What a demolition! Sometimes less is more – as learnt from the example of Park+Riot from Leipzig. Samuel and Micha play guitar and drums, and that’s enough to kick up a riot. Somehow they are reminiscent of mid-90s ChaosCore, with a crazy dash of post-rock and the necessary little melodies that make the songs stick in your head. Despite all this, the songs are extremely dense and coherent and don’t seem pieced together or heterogeneous. What unites the songs is definitely a sense of rhythm and melody, which somehow brings even the most disjointed song back on track and almost makes it sound like pop moments. In “The End”, for example, spoken word parts meet black metal bludgeoning attacks, in “Clouds” driving Swedish core parts meet post-metallic atmospheric strumming, only to pick up speed again with great vigour and finally end in a hefty neckbreaker mosh – great! Here, three bands are united in one, and one of them has something to say on top of that. When the whole place is roaring along to the chorus of “Long Run”, the last person knows that they are part of something really important.
