GoH-939: Princesse Isabelle d'Évreux - Goguryeo

An eclectic work of harsh noise, shifting style in each track, starting with short HNW shot, through junk-noise eruptions to melodic synth parts densely covered with crushing audial filth. A tasty one for dedicated harshheads!

This month, I’m joining the Noisevember — a celebration of sonic exploration and creative noise.
Here, I’m collecting all my experimental sound pieces made with the 0-Coast (synth), Orca (as a sequencer), and Pure Data (for effects).

Ravage – Ravage

Ravage’s self-titled debut is an uncompromising work of art, a furious conversation that takes place at the volatile intersection of noise rock, avant-rock, and post-hardcore. Formed by three tireless composer-improvisers, Anthony Laguerre on drums, Bastien Pelenc and Mathieu Werchowski on violins, the trio has engineered a fully organic, cinematic, and feverish soundscape. This is a restless band, defined by its appetite for destruction that somehow takes exquisite care of the textures and emotional space at stake. It’s a debut that dissolves boundaries, offering a blueprint for a world open to emotion, adventure, and convulsive beauty. To even begin to understand the architecture of Ravage’s sound, a listener must start with the foundation, the exceptional drumming performance laid down by Anthony Laguerre. He is the anchor, engine, and often the primary harmonic force of the record. This is a dynamic control in the best possible way. Laguerre maintains a breathtaking level of intensity with continuous splashes over the cymbals, creating a constant, shimmering texture that feels like static electricity running beneath the surface. It’s balanced by the sharp, physical impact of powerful snare hits and deep, punchy bass drum beats that drive the music forward with primal force. His use of accentuations over hi-hats and cymbals turns the rhythm into an ever-evolving story, giving the often-abstract soundscapes a commanding, dynamic pulse. The drumming is the physical manifesto of the band, lending the music its heavy, powerful core.

But the dual violin performance elevates Ravage LP into an otherworldly soundscape. In the absence of a traditional guitar or bass, Pelenc and Werchowski shoulder the entire weight of the sonic spectrum. Their violin interplays are the source of all drama and color, delivering melody and harmony, but also the cacophony, experimentation, and sheer virtuosity. The eight strings become chameleons, capable of creating moving, almost romantic themes one moment, only to twist them into grinding, serrated edges of pure noise rock the next. They expertly steer the critical dynamic of tension and release. The violins can scream with feedback and bursts of distortion, layering on effects that make the sound feel thick and corrosive. Conversely, they can weave delicate, plaintive threads of harmony that give the chaotic whole its essential sense of delicacy. This fluid, constant bending and stretching of sound, the movement from the gun to the rose, is the defining characteristic of the album. The overall sound is a remarkable feat of studio and conceptual control. Described by the band as occasionally doom-electroacoustic or offering libertarian litanies, the music carries a textural and philosophical weight. The sound is intensely organic. You feel the friction of bow on string, the physical impact of mallet on drum skin, yet the arrangements are often cinematic, unfolding with the scope and grandeur of a fever dream score. The bursts of distortion and layers of effects are utilized strategically, acting like structural collapses that only momentarily obscure the underlying melodic and rhythmic foundations. The constant exploration of repetitions, an obstinacy that gives the music its insistent, driving quality, serves to build psychological pressure, turning a chaotic jam into a structured, powerful, and commanding piece of avant-rock. The entire work is an aggressive meditation on how creative savagery and fragility are inseparable.

Ravage delivers music designed for deconstruction and reconstruction. The album is a vital artifact for anyone interested in the fringes of heavy music, a record that takes the raw kinetic energy of noise rock and the intellectual curiosity of experimental rock and forces them into a beautiful, volatile chemical reaction. This work ethic exemplifies their belief that in the absence of a new world, art can still carve out a space open to emotion, adventure, and convulsive beauty. Ravage LP is not an easy listen, but it is an essential one, carrying a deeply rewarding dive into an utterly unique and terrifyingly brilliant sonic space. This is excellent material for all those into experimental rock music, a definitive statement from three tireless pioneers.
