Fishcat - Hardcore Vous Avez Dit Hardcore

Review by Gaurav Gangurde

Fishcat's album Hardcore Vous Avez Dit Hardcore is a thrilling ride for fans of the hardcore genre. The French band's energy and intensity never waver throughout the 12 tracks, with each song offering its own unique take on the style.

The album opens with the explosive "Rouge Sang," which sets the tone for what's to come. The guitars are heavy and punishing, the drums frenetic, and the vocals raw and aggressive. "Haineux" and "Le Retour" continue the assault, with Fishcat's musicianship and songwriting skills on full display.

But the album isn't all about brute force. "La Fin Du Monde" and "L'Évolution" showcase the band's ability to incorporate melody and atmosphere into their music, while still maintaining their hardcore edge. The latter song is a standout, with its haunting guitar line and soaring chorus.

Throughout the album, Fishcat's lyrics touch on themes of anger, frustration, and social commentary. The band's passion is palpable, and it's easy to get swept up in their energy.

Summary by Gaurav Gangurde

Hardcore Vous Avez Dit Hardcore is an impressive offering from Fishcat. Fans of hardcore music will find plenty to love here, but the album's strong songwriting and musicianship make it accessible to a wider audience as well. Highly recommended.
