Triac

Triac sounds like a controlled demolition in a small space. It is music that prioritizes impact over everything else, delivering short, violent bursts of energy that bridge the gap between the technical precision of grindcore and the swinging, muscular filth of 90s noise rock. The drums are massive and punishing, providing a foundation for bass tones that sound like rusted metal grinding against concrete.

What sets them apart is their ability to shift from blinding speed to heavy, mid-tempo grooves without losing an ounce of intensity. While many grind bands disappear into a blur of blast beats, Triac retains a sense of rhythmic 'swing' and physical weight. The dual-vocal attack adds a layer of chaotic conversation to the mix, making the songs feel like a frantic, desperate struggle.

Start with 'Always Meant to Hurt You' to hear them at their most focused and lethal. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who wants the speed of powerviolence but craves the thick, dirty production of the Baltimore underground scene.
