Sound of Wall, Visions of Hell: a Photo Gallery of Concrete Winds live in Berlin

After sharing some footage from Concrete Winds' concert at Wolf City Festival in Berlin on September 7th, 2024, we are thrilled to be able to publish here also some skilfully captured analogue shots by talented photographer murphyslavv - these striking photographs, with their uncompromising shades of black and their almost abrasive texture, match very well the violence of Concrete Winds' ruthless live performance and we think they make for a very accurate visual account of their live set.

The last two photos also show a couple of moments of the calm before the storm: those who have been there at their shows, waiting for the violence to begin, know very well how those minutes before it begins are absolutely loaded to the brim with impatience and raw energy ready to be unleashed, which is why we found these shots to be a perfect way to close the gallery: once the music ends, the silence is just waiting for the next sonic assault.

All photos are analogue shots by @murphyslavv - all on Kentmere 400 pushed to 3200 iso.

Concrete Winds perforate skulls with "Noise Trepanation"

The painful yet satisfactory moment of musical brutality many of us have been waiting for today has finally cum: Concrete Winds have premiered a song from their upcoming album, and it couldn't get nastier. Fittingly titled "Noise Trepanation", this merciless piece of hostility leaves its listeners no time to catch their breath, or to even realize what is going on, before taking over and inflicting demage on the ears and minds which submit themselves to the lethal sonic assault.

The band premiered the song alongside a brief interview on Invisible Orange.

"We are never actively concerned about making songs either stand out or stick in the head, mainly the objective is one of ear canal destruction, discomfort and to aggravate the listener. If this is the result however of course it is welcome. Even more if it leaves the consumer with a bitter aftertaste and claustrophobic disgust.", the band commented on the song premiered today.

Which is indeed the experience after blasting "Noise Trepanation": an excruciating, vicious musical drill forcing its way into the ears of the listeners, who have no choice other then hearing it perforating their brains in a moment of eruptive harshness.

There is no doubt, Concrete Winds are the equivalent of hammers and knives to the ears, and that is exactly what their listeners are masochistically asking for.

"Nerve Butcherer" will be out on Sepulchral Voice Records on November 26th, 2021: meanwhile, stream "Noise Trepanation" below and let it penetrate the deepest corners of your skull!
