Europe has always produced the finest emotional hardcore that the scene has ever had. Hailing from Vienna, Pettersson are carrying on that tradition with their powerful new album, ‘Rift and Seam’. It channels the raw catharsis of many pioneering bands, and is one of the most intense albums to be released this year.
“We are Pettersson, and we make sad music,” is how the band describe themselves when asked. “This album is about the rifts that divide humankind, and the few seams trying to hold it together.“
‘Rift and Seam’ is released on November 1st via several different labels, and you can find out more about Petterson over at their Bandcamp page. The band will also be on tour through Europe next month, which you can see the dates for below.
