MIRAGE

Immagini Postume (7")

Discos Enfermos - 8€

Since I heard the MIRAGE demo originally released on cassette by Roachleg Records I felt that it had something special, and that is that this band from New York/New Jersey without doing anything new has managed to make it their own. The sound is hardcore and manic but when singing in Italian by its vocalist Salvatore, it is impossible not to think of Italian bands from the 80s like Wretched... but Mirage goes further. They have been able to capture the essence of the dark hardcore bands that reigned in Italy in the early 80s like STINKY RATS or NERORGASMO, they have known how to filter their chaotic hardcore through the post-punk funnel, creating 7 songs of chaotic hardcore full of dark melodies, hypnotic rhythms and overflowing punk energy. Immagini postume is a review of 80s Italian hardcore in the 2020s; It is chaos, it is darkness, it is melody and aggressiveness. It's MIRAGE.
