Assassine(s) is the sound of a suffocating darkness, a relentless torrent of black metal ferocity, sludge weight, and screamo's raw urgency. It's an album that doesn't just demand your attention, it seizes it, dragging you into its bleak, atmospheric depths. The introduction of eerie female clean vocals adds a chilling, almost perverse layer to their already intense sound, making it feel both more 'messed up' and strangely captivating. This is for those who crave sonic catharsis, who find beauty in the abrasive, and who aren't afraid to confront the darker aspects of human nature. Own this if you want an album that is cohesive, consistent, and utterly uncompromising in its heavy, emotional assault.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring yet captivating introduction of female clean vocals, creating a deeply unsettling contrast against the band's signature ferocity, particularly noticeable around the mid-point of tracks featuring them.
Moments where the tremolo picking, while maintaining its black metal intensity, blossoms into unexpectedly melodic and eerie passages, offering brief, haunting beauty before descending back into dissonance.
The sheer impact of specific breakdowns, where the complex, hard-hitting drumming and Johan's realized bass lines converge into a crushing, almost suffocating wall of sound.
The sustained vocal performance throughout the album, showcasing a clear progression towards a more black metal-like shriek while retaining the raw urgency of screamo.
