It's gonna be heavy, ugly, and dark when the Denver band Primitive Man visits Roskilde Festival with their notorious brutality. The band combines some of the dirtiest elements from genres like death metal and black metal with an almost trance-inducing and devastating doom sound.
Their new album, Observance, was released very appropriately on Halloween, but don't expect harmless horror effects from the band, who instead open the gates to a noisy hell that mercilessly reflects the cruel realities of life. Here, the enemy is neither ghosts nor demons, but humanity itself, which destroys the life around it with greed and cruelty.
Primitive Man, who first shook the world with their debut album Scorn in 2013, offer a glimpse into the darkest sides of humanity with a dystopian expression that has become even more grim in the current political climate in the US. It is not for nothing that Observance has been described as the band's heaviest album to date – which is saying quite something.
The band is known for collaborating with other extreme musicians, and their previous album was created in collaboration with the infernal noise explorers in Full of Hell. If you're into trance-inducing and heavy sound of the most brutal kind, Primitive Man is a must-see, and we're looking forward to one of their rare Danish concerts when they rip Roskilde Festival apart this summer.
