So claims their official website. And they’re not kidding. They’re not the most loquacious band out there, indeed barely speaking a word until the end of their concert in Zurich when they thanked the audience rather profusely for turning up, but instead they played with fierce concentration and ferocious intensity, pausing between songs only to change guitars and catch their breath for a few seconds. It was noisy, it was brutal, it was exhausting – and it was excellent.
