With Sortie D'Affaire, Chaumont's NO VALE NADA deliver another crushing display of their uncompromising approach to hardcore. The quartet have always embraced abrasion and disorder, but this latest offering feels like a new peak in terms of sheer ferocity. Helmed by renowned producer Amaury Sauvé, known for his work with Birds In Row, Plebeian Grandstand, Lost In Kyiv, the track captures the band at their most visceral and unrestrained.
At first glance, the song appears to be a barrage of chaos, with dissonant guitar lines slashing through the mix while restless rhythms veer in unexpected directions. Beneath the turbulence lies a surprisingly memorable framework, as the band shapes the track around a compelling verse-and-chorus progression that gives its violence a sense of purpose and momentum.
Balancing volatility with immediacy, Sortie D'Affaire stands as an assault on the senses and an undeniable post hardcore anthem, proof that NO VALE NADA can channel disorder into something rather gripping.
