Knut - Knut

Review by Angela McPherson

Knut's self-titled album, Knut, is a powerful and intense offering from the Swiss metal band. The album features nine tracks that showcase the band's signature blend of sludge, hardcore, and noise rock. From the opening track, "Calamity," the listener is plunged into a world of crushing riffs and pounding drums, with vocalist Didier Severin's guttural screams adding an extra layer of aggression.

The album is relentless in its intensity, with tracks like "Terraformer" and "Magma" delivering a barrage of distorted guitars and pummeling rhythms. However, Knut also demonstrates a keen sense of dynamics, with quieter moments like the atmospheric "Dominator" and the haunting "The Whip" providing a welcome contrast to the album's more frenetic moments.

Knut's self-titled album is a must-listen for fans of heavy music. It's a challenging and uncompromising work that demands the listener's attention, but it's also a rewarding experience for those willing to dive in. With their unique blend of genres and their unrelenting energy, Knut has created a standout album that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
