Returning a little over a year after their debut album ‘Nothing Beyond Everything After’, Pariso have somehow warped the space-time continuum and produced ‘Consanguinity’ - a record that shows an evolution far greater than (approximately) 365 days should allow.
Loosely based on the theme of family and relations, ‘Consanguinity’ displays highs of atmosphere, melody and thought amidst Pariso's trademark ferocity and aggression. Produced by Lewis Johns at The Ranch and rife with the flair of new-ish guitarist Alex Heffernan, this album should leave no doubts in the mind of any discerning, forward-thinking heavy music fan.
Consanguinity is available now on 12" vinyl (with an exclusive vinyl-only bonus track) and as a free download. No pre-order, no build up, no hype.
Includes unlimited streaming of Consanguinity
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
You're the chest in my mind, hidden away from me but I don't want to open it, to see what's inside. Seeing a darkness I've never seen before. I see the smoke bellow from your doors. My family hid the key, locked away so you wouldn't find me. Our wood is of the same grain, but yours has rotted away. Not knowing of what I see, blood seeps from your hinges. It almost makes me question the journey that got you here. Your wooden arms have intertwined with the floor. My family hid the key, locked away so you wouldn't find me. Our wood is of the same grain, but yours has rotted away. What secrets do you hold inside? Inside you're dark and hollow. My breath turns to steam. Your reasons are hard to swallow. The older I grew, the smaller you seemed. Selfish and callous.
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
