French post-hardcore quintet Fall Of Messiah are back with their much awaited fourthfull length album, 'Senicarne'.The bands invigorating blend of post-rock and first wave screamo is evidently stillintact following the one-two punch of opening songs 'La republique du vide' and'Contreforts', as they pair delicate, pathos evoking, melody with cascading drums andrhythmic hypnoticism a la early Pianos Become The Teeth, Heaven In Her Arms and Envy.The band's vast melting pot of influences lean into emotive atmospherics whilst neveronce losing their sharper edges. Large sections of the nine songs on offer bubble andwrithe instrumentally - showcasing a deft art of controlled chaos ('Atlantique' and'The loneliest whale in the world'), which only amplify the frantically drastic urgencyof cuts such as 'Sequoia'.Fall Of Messiah's vision of distilling the spiritual essence of early emotionalpost-harcore into beautifully expansive and emotionally ravaging mini-epics, afterfour years since their last recordings, is an unquestionable triumph.
