Thirdface - Cafétéria ministérielle
“Ministerial Cafeteria” is the second album from Thirdface, Nashville hardcore taken to the extreme and refusing to settle for just one genre to destroy.
The band built their sound on collision, punk urgency crushed by the brutality of grindcore and noise rock's willingness to let a song fall apart on purpose, and this 2024 album on Exploding in Sound pushes that instinct further than their first full-length dared to. It's aggressive without being predictable, songs that lurch and change structure mid-attack rather than settling for one riff and staying there, making it a truly disorienting listen, in the best way a hardcore album can be.
“Meander” lives up to its title while hitting like a punch, the structure bending without ever losing momentum. “Midian” is the album’s most punishing single, tight and relentless. “Stalkwalk” leans most heavily on the noise rock side of the band’s palette, the dissonance working as hard as the riffs, and “Purify” closes the album on its wildest note, as if the album had been building toward total collapse the entire time.
Twelve titles that refuse to stand still under one label. Hardcore this truly inventive doesn't come along often.
