    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "Parisian quintet, COWARDS, has become an unrelenting force since their inception in 2012, imposing their ruthless blend of metallic hardcore and sludge through several vinyl releases to date, and having crushed live audiences all across Europe. Having only grown stronger with every step of their brutal journey so far, the band will now unload their second album, «Rise To Infamy». These ten tracks stand up as their most cohesive work, brutally combining the heritage of Holy Terror/H8000 inspired-hardcore with devastating sludge and black metal savagery. Carrying a deep, oppressive urban coldness behind their spectacularly crushing wall of sound, the level of aggression spilled on «Rise To Infamy» is difficult to endure. Everything has been managed to inflict maximum aural damage; once again recorded by Francis Caste at Sainte Marthe Studio (Arkhon Infaustus, Eibon, Kickback) as with their previous output, the band's monstrous tones sounds colder and more massive than ever. This is nothing but a monument of down-to-earth, unvarnished violence, punishing from start to finish."

lyrics

It's All On Display Behind Tepid Glass
Break The Rules Or Bend The Knee
Void This Play, Work Around The Game
Through The Backdoor, I Won't Come Knocking

I Don't Want You To Wake Up
I Only Wish You'd Sleep
No Apocaplypse
Ironic In It's Splendor

I Only Wish You'd Slip
In Those Traps I Laid Down
For You One Last Trip
Legs Wide Sewn

No Need For You
To Open Your Eyes
I've Been Reformed In Emptiness

Iconic In It's Splendor
Behind The Veil Of Your Eyes
Look Closer, It's Me You'll See
Hidden In Plain Sight

No Apocalypse
I Only Wish You'd Sleep
Void This Play
Break The Rules Or Bend The Knee
