Enter the Belgian hardcore scene. These guys have notably been described as a blend of the intense vocal power of Amanda Woodward and dark melodies of bands such as Mogwai, Isis, etc. Surfacing in 2004 they laid claim to hardcore when they made a, very rough, split with another Belgium band; Autumn Delay. Since then they have released three records both on vinyl and cd. One of these was a Japanese only release which is still obtainable through their MYSPACE(if your cool with paying for shipping from Japan to here hah). Next was the explosive Monologue(2008)release which, has been released on so many labels that if you can't get it its just sad(some examples:Smoke and Dust Records, Vlas Vegas Records). This album is an absolute trip in the full sense; like many other bands in their genre they use their music to create images and stories start to form and take shape. These sensations are also reflected in how they play music; visual effects and sounds. It is imagery at a beautiful dark peak. Check out monologue, I highly recommend it.
