SABERTOOTH "Of Shadows Yet To Come" 2020

BAAAAAM - from the first notes, this is MASSIVE, IMPRESSIVE and as EFFICIENT - as if MIKE TYSON was punching you right in the face ! If I didn't know the band was from France, I'd have thought they were from NYC, so much their influences are to be sought on bands like AGNOSTIC FRONT, MADBALL, CRO-MAGS.. I guess you now see a bit clearer about the musical direction - right ?
You get it - Short titles that alternate uppercuts, right hooks, left hooks, relentlessly, leaving no rest for the listener - that's fast pure straight ahead hardcore, with street punk influences (much more than "metal" influences) with kinda "mosh" parts here & there - you really can feel that typical HARDCORE energy and this makes you feel really alive & kicking ! These are only 4 songs, but it's enough to convince you of the band's potential, it is obvious the guys are experimented at what they do, they're no newcomers & their abilities to write catchy songs is not to be proven - rhythmicals are neck-breaking, guitar work is impressive, cool singalong parts as well and the vocal style fits the style perfectly - brutal angry voice with always a concern for melody !
Lyrically it deals with human and society's problem - nothing surprising though - but they are reflections of our everyday lives and it pushes to stay positive no matter how hard or difficult life can be !
To sum-up.. it's hard to believe this is the band's first release, so the potential is HUGE ! I just can't wait to hear more new songs, as I'm sure they'll confirm my impressions there.. If you're looking for a stunning new Hard-Core band, look no further, you got one to enjoy & support !
