PRAGMATICA Ep Reviewed on THIS NOISE IS OURS Blog

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:18:06 +0100

The following words come from the english hardcore punk blog THIS NOISE IS OURS.

Rise After Defeat are a Hardcore band from Cagliari, Italy. They are part of the Strikedown Records roster, which subsequently is run by lead singer Carlo Articolo. Pragmatica is their second EP, which was released back in April last year as a limited CD EP and digital download. It followed their EP from the previous year, Maieutica, which was released as a 7”. They’ve been hitting stages across Europe pretty much none stop over the last couple of years, including playing alongside Step On Memories, who I featured on here a good while back.

Pragmatica is hard and heavy. Emptiness has that raging US hardcore feel to it, but it also has a great punk edge too. The riffs are metallic, kind of like the riffs on Gallows first album yet the vocals are screamed with true venom. The songs are quick and Rise After Defeat don’t mess about with long playing times, with no song being over three minutes. The sinister melody put forth by the guitars makes it a hugely listenable EP. Hold Fast is a great example of that melody too. It shows that bands can create new or different strains of hardcore if they try!

The production on the EP is good too. It doesn’t sound too polished yet it doesn’t sound muddy either. The volume helps bring a new edge to the songs and stops it all from sounding watered down. Confession follows very much the same formula as the two previous songs and then Unknown hits you with ringing feedback and more edgy guitar playing. This is probably my standout track on Pragmatica. EP closer Stillborns has a sound closer to screamo but is filled with deep growling vocals. It switches pace mid-way through with the drums very much calling the shots.

It’s a raucous and brilliant end to the EP, where Rise After Defeat highlight their will to experiment and progress. This is a darkly brilliant EP!

Now there’s no excuse for you to ignore this EP

Pragmatica Ep (recensione su Fire Alive)

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:36:09 +0200

Rise After Defeat “Pragmatica” (2012 -Strikedown Records-)

“Pragmatica” (Aprile 2012, Strikedown Records) è l’ultimo ep uscito in casa Rise After Defeat, band hardcore, sludge, punk e metal di Cagliari. Hardcore e non solo, nelle sue sfumature ed influenze più svariate, “Pragmatica” suona già dai primi secondi abbastanza oscuro e tagliente con tonalità delle chitarre molto ricercate. La timbrica vocale, bassa ma non troppo con un growling molto particolare simile a Converge e Integrity, rende il tutto estremamente originale e accompagnata da velature crust e mathcore diventa una formula vincente. E’ l’hardcore o è il metal che si espande? E’ proprio questo il punto: i Rise After Defeat sembrano avere trovato un loro trademark in una cornice di disperazione e ruvidità che li rende unici ed irripetibili. Il sound è carico, corrosivo e per essere apprezzato va considerato nella sua interezza globale, non per ogni singolo pezzo, soltanto così scoverete la maestosità stilistica dei Rise After Defeat. L’ascoltatore è invaso da un muro sonoro molto complesso di stili differenti infetti di frenetica schizofrenia, tempi dispari e riffs pesanti come macigni: tutto è inserito proprio lì dove deve stare, esattamente al proprio posto. Rabbia, velocità, potenza e determinazione sono i punti cardine di “Pragmatica”: se siete amanti di Converge, Isis, Integrity, Neurosis, e Dillinger Escape Plan questo è il prossimo disco da avere. Territori incontaminati a metà fra metal e hardcore, senza limiti temporali e territoriali. Complimenti, ottimo lavoro!

Vote: 10/10
