Perth hardcore outfit Pincer+ release their long awaited sophomore EP, ‘Hunting God Tapes. Vol 2: Romance’, available on vinyl and out via Greyscale Records today. Almost one year on from the release of their cult classic debut EP, ‘Hunting God Tapes. Vol 1: Violence’, Pincer+ return with the next chapter. Ripe with screaming guitars, live recorded drums and potent vocals, leading singles Visions Of Angels and Closer To God welcomed listeners back into Pincer’s world of torment and prepared them for the sonic onslaught that is ‘Vol. 2: Romance’.
“Thematically, ‘Romance’ goes back to the roots of it all – the source of the damage on Violence,” tells producer, guitarist and songwriter Josh Ang. “Sonically it’s angry. It’s angry and violent and hurt and it’s thrashed around under my skin for so many years in the making, waiting to be given a mouth to be heard. Personally, Romance is healing. Mistakes I’ve made, personified into something real and tangible as a reminder never to make them again.”
The reviews so far:
“I have been sitting with this EP for a while now, coming back to it every single day to ensure that I do not miss a moment … with every listen I have fallen more in love with this release.” Wall Of Sound 10/10
“This EP poses an array of interesting ideas, tied together by forceful riffs that can rip your face off, with enough gusto to make the wait for a full-length filled with constantly replayable, levelling moments.” The Soundboard
“Hunting God Tapes Vol. 2: Romance falls firmly into the ‘good’ territory.” Boolin Tunes
“The hard-hitting, purely hostile track is as progressive as it is pummeling, reiterating the current health of heavy music.” Knotfest on Closer To God
Debut EP ‘Hunting God Tapes. Vol 1: Violence’ uncovered the intrinsic human desire to be happy, or at least acknowledged and loved. Spread across five tracks, the extended play took an in-depth view into love and loss within the scope of someone processing the end of an important relationship. Since forming last year, Pincer+ have found themselves on stages alongside heavyweight metal acts Kublai Khan (US), Stray From The Path (US), Like Moths To Flames (US), Justice For The Damned, Void Of Vision, In Hearts Wake and more. Pincer+ is Jacson Robb on vocals, Josh Ang and Jordan Burn on guitars, Ben Ferguson on bass and Jack Nelson on drums. ‘Vol 1: Violence’ was to uncover the damage. ‘Vol 2: Romance’ is to heal the wound. ‘Hunting God Tapes. Vol.2: Romance’ is out now via Greyscale Records.
