Greek hardcore crew Sarabante share a track from their incoming second LP, Poisonous Legacy, which shall be released on Southern Lord this summer. Hear them taking their tense, foreboding sound found to new lows, mirroring and capturing the anguish of their native country in the track “Mass Grave” at the link below.
LISTEN TO “MASS GRAVE” FROM POISONOUS LEGACY
The gripping, lamenting melodies of the guitars define the Poisonous Legacy sound, and speak volumes about Sarabante’s world view. Eloquently miserable harmonies soar then swoop downwards, constantly seeking nervous and reverberating moments to amplify and meld into their modern crust motion, involving copious amounts of righteous d-beat and clarity amongst the crunch. Few have done it so well since the advent of Tragedy and His Hero Is Gone, and Sarabante are undoubtedly creating their own approach with impressive, aggressive songwriting and attacking momentum. Their meticulous attention to mournful atmospheres is maintained across the 26 minutes, filling Poisonous Legacy with rampaging passages and brooding breakdowns, and making the record a thrilling and powerful statement from Sarabante.
Sarabante formed in Athens in late 2006, during the summer of 2011 they released their first album Remnants. The LP was released by Sara Records, the band’s own label, followed by a limited edition CD by Southern Lord Records. This was followed by an Eastern European tour and numerous local live shows, as well as 2013’s Έρμαια Των Καιρών / Under The Shadows, a 7” EP via Man in Decline Records.
Heavily influenced by oppression and trying to withstand the ongoing crisis in their home country Greece, their new music is forged in times of extreme austerity, which has without doubt blackened their focus. As a result, the music on Poisonous Legacy is darker, filthier, more sincere and more destructive than we’ve heard from them before.
