Formed in Nantes in 2013, Sinister Days has spent the last decade fusing the
raw aggression of hardcore with the bleak atmosphere of black metal. Their new
EP “Disconnect Society” takes this hybrid sound into sharper territory, fueled
by frustration with modern decay and disillusionment. The band, consisting of Guillaume Gandon on vocals, Vincent “Vince” Rob on guitar, Jered Teague on bass, and Josselin
“Joss” Viot on drums, delivers six tracks that capture the sound of a
world spinning further out of control.
Lyrically,
the EP is an open confrontation with the contemporary world. “Clouds” and “No
Care For Us” strike directly at economic exploitation and class inequality,
their anger filtered through short, heavy bursts of rhythm and shouted
defiance. “Shot” takes on male suicide and the poisonous expectations
surrounding masculinity, while “Disconnect Society” dives into digital
isolation and the loss of privacy under constant surveillance. The band uses
repetition and simple lines to drive their point home, turning into communal
chants.
What
“Disconnect Society” achieves best is consistency in purpose. Its energy
doesn’t fluctuate, its anger doesn’t waver. The band has a clear sense of what
they want to express. Disgust at modern systems, solidarity with the oppressed,
and a call to resist. The sound draws from bands like Power
Trip, Knocked Loose, and Full Of Hell, but the French context gives it a
specific edge, a voice rising from economic precarity and urban tension. “Disconnect
Society” is raw, direct and grounded in everyday struggle. It might not reach
for grandeur but it’s a short, furious statement from a band that understands
its surroundings and channels them into something harsh, political, and alive.
Score: 6.0
