Band: HEISA
Who: 3 Belgian noizzy
post-punk crusaders.
Album: TROIS
Press info: HEISA embarks on a new chapter with the release of their third album.
This album showcases an evolution in their sound, keeping the bombastic drums,
droning guitars, and dynamic vocals, but pushing further into melody and experimentation.
On this new record, Heisa brings their emotions to the forefront, revealing a raw, edgy intensity in tracks like “Lazar” and “Sad Dancer,” where vulnerability and tension intertwine.
TUTV: For a chance, I’ll start with my eager ears’ final verdict. Trois is without a shadow
of a doubt the most balanced, the most arousing and the most vitalizing noise rock record I heard in a very long time. No, never a dull moment. Heisa grab you by the throat for 40 wicked minutes, and you won’t protest for one second. The cliché all killers, no fillers is so accurate here. This magnum opus will show up in multiple end-of-the-year lists.
Les trois singles (Nandor / Flowers / The Harmonist) were the harbinger for something really special. Which we experience now. Every song stands as tall as the Eiffel Tower. There’s always an enigmatic anxiousness in the air that tests your nerves and boggles your mind.
On several occasions (Flowers / After Hours / Shifting / Sad Dancer) Heisa tease you with voltaic foreplay riffs before heading towards an orgastic burst of demonic hullabaloo. Primal screams out of the darkness, schizophrenic guitars and raw and rough post-punk dynamics work together to create a hell-raising turbulence. Think Fugazi and The Jesus Lizard .
No arty farty tricks, no unnecessary overdubs, no useless volume exaggerations.
The production is flawless, and is an instrumental factor for the overall organic
resonance of this expressive exploit. I’m quite sure that the late great Steve Albini
would have loved it.
Heisa is going places. Don’t miss them.
Embrace them. Join them. Love them.
