Humanizing through dehumanization, finding empathy through harshness – that’s what “Empathist” is all about. Piercing, compulsively gashing its own skin to be aware of this collective numbness that is affecting us all. Svffer practices self-mutilation for society’s awakening, unfurling a grotesque rendition of barbarous hardcore punk – even more volatile, more straightforward than the one we found in “Lies We Live”. Things are far from good and you can sense the desperation in Leonie Marie‘s cutting vocals. [EP]
