A loud and oppressive sound.
Chat Pilethe Oklahoma City-based noise-rock band, has returned to the music scene with a strong statement. His fierce new protest single, “Masks”is emerging as a visceral anthem against the policies of the ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). This track is not completely new to his fans, as he has been generating significant acclaim in his powerful live performances over the past year, establishing itself as a centerpiece of his recent repertoire and a high point in his sets.
The choice of “Masks” underlines the overtly political and uncompromising stance of Chat Pileusing their characteristic dense, dissonant and aggressive sound to channel anger and social frustration. The band, known for exploring dark and existential themes through raw lyrics and relentless musical performance, now takes its lyrical approach towards a specific goal of social and political criticism.
But the release of this single comes with an additional attraction that will delight fans both from noise-rock to classic grungesico: a fantastic and dense version of “Sifting”. This topic, originally included in bleachthe debut studio album and already a timeless classic by Nirvana (released in 1989), receives the relentless sonic treatment of Chat Pile.
