This Charming Man Records

Samuel and Micha play guitar and drums, and that's enough to cause quite a stir. They're somehow reminiscent of mid-90s chaos core, with a crazy dose of post-rock and the necessary little melodies that make the songs stick in your head. Despite all that, the songs are incredibly dense and harmonious; they don't seem pieced together or heterogeneous.
What the songs definitely have in common is a feeling for rhythm and melody, which somehow brings even the most disjointed song back on track and almost creates pop moments. In "The End," for example, spoken word parts collide with black metal thrashing attacks; in "Clouds," driving Swedish core parts collide with post-metal atmospheric tinkling, before picking up speed again with plenty of spin and finally ending in a hearty neck-breaker mosh - great!
Three bands in one, and one of them even has something to say. When the whole crowd sings along to the chorus of “Long Run,” everyone knows that they’re taking part in something very important.
