BTK, acronym of Bind Torture Kill, was born in France
in 2007, near Lyon. The band’s objective – since the very first day -
is to practice a darkened, raging, violent music. With songs screamed in
French, they uphold this constant, the texts tell of neutral crimes of
serial killers or various remarkable bloody feats. The very
varied influences that align with the hardcore/post-hardcore, the
death metal and grindcore (Converge, Ken Mode, The Dillinger
Escape Plan, Pantera, Entombed, Napalm Death...) are digested and
knowingly mixed to give the band a personal style: brutal hardcore
and death riffs, rapid tempos and complex structures, close to mathcore.
The band, which gained in maturity, conserves in violence
and in speed but still takes the time to work with more darkened atmospheres
and sounds that give the whole piece a more blackness feel. The structures of
the pieces are in general more direct and the main effort was focused on
effectiveness and intention. This album aims to be more effective and
oppressing, its objective being to bring BTK to promote its music to the
maximum and to continue to work more as they perfect their vision.
It is our pleasure to host the debut video “Abattage” from
their debut full length “"Condamné", which we reviewed here.
