KHYA#011 - ria (TR), Piet Onthel (MY), Scenes We Have Missed (TR), Bastos (RO) and Children of Boredom (DE) unite their forces in this brand new “5 – way split”! Contributing to their most recent materials, all of the songs cruise around the dynamic spectrum of the emotive hardcore sound. The split will be co-released by Longrail Records, Missed Out Records, Mevzu Records, Beach Buddies Records, Dischi Decenti, Les Disques Rabat-joie, Khya Records and Huge Major Label. Digital release date and pre-orders is on 16th November, tapes coming soon!
The Breaks opens with ria - ‘Elimizden Alamazlar’, the Turkish screamo anthem of the year containing additional vocals by Tan from Scenes We Have Missed. Piet Onthel follows with a three-song journey - accompanying the listener from a quiet state of emotions to the point where they start to express their explosive aspect. SWHM comes after with ‘The Bearers Pt II’. Written as a sequel to ‘The Bearers’ from their debut album, the past two years between two songs signify a process of maturation while sustaining the original emotive hardcore sound. Bastos’ ‘Willows’ grows from the earth afterward, resembling the tree that it takes its name from with its 9 minutes duration, changeful nature, and wandering vocals. The last song of the split by Children of Boredom, clearing the atmosphere with a less violent emo/indie sound without losing the unsettling effect of the whole split.
