about

"Intelligemment parsemé d’échantillonnages sonores et de divers samples, le parcours que Wolf City nous propose se veut exigeant. La multitude d’éléments dissimulés ici et là donne lieu à un immense potentiel de réécoute, Archives Of Mankind nous révèle un peu plus de ses secrets à chaque occasion. C’est à mi-chemin que nous frappons un gigantesque mur. Le titre Document 6 nous replonge au beau milieu des premiers albums de JK Flesh ou encore de Necro Deathmort. Percussions massives et guitare grinçante au rendez-vous, parions que vos voisins n’apprécieront pas trop cette décharge de son terriblement viscérale. Après avoir sorti les crocs, Benjamin continue sa synthèse chaotique d’influences en nous menant avec imprévisibilité vers la finale. Malgré son aspect globalement inaccessible, ce disque laisse tout de même sa marque sur notre peau. Que ce soit dans les moments plus doux ou dans ceux plus tourmentés, Wolf City parvient à nous surprendre et à nous démontrer l’étendue de son talent. Il s’agit d’une expérience en soi, il faut tout simplement la vivre pour comprendre."
