PLEBEIAN GRANDSTAND To Release False Highs, True Lows This Spring

One of France's most diabolical underground acts is returning at the end of April!

One of France's most diabolical underground acts is returning at the end of April!

You may have heard of France's black metal/noise group, Plebeian Grandstand, before. They released a crushing album in 2014 called Lowgazers which was one of my personal favorites from that year. The Frenchmen are originally from Toulouse and craft a strong blend of blackened, noisy dissonance and hardcore's white-hot rage. The resultant concoction takes the form of a violent and unforgiving slab of metal. If you initially missed Lowgazers, there is no need to fret, it was announced late Friday/early Saturday that Plebeian Grandstand will be returning this year with a new album.

Plebeian Grandstand - False Highs, True Lows

Their new album is called False Highs, True Lows. It will be arriving April 29th through Throatruiner Records and there is a teaser for the album included below. Stay on the lookout for this one as April draws near. I have heard this album, and please trust me when I say that this is one that should not be slept on. Plebeian Grandstand makes some great stuff. I will let a portion of the press release describe False Highs, True Lows because the words absolutely ring true about the music:

"False Highs, True Lows is PLEBEIAN GRANDSTAND’s most accomplished effort to date; with guitars ranging between dry-heaving riffs, light-speed melodies and crushing sludgier parts, a terrifying, surgically savage drum performance full of maniacal blasts beats and martial rhythms, and the most angst-ridden vocal performance since the invention of waterboarding."
