"Formed in 2005, Providence come from the depths of filthy Paris and play
dark and brutal hardcore, full of crushing breakdowns. Since their
beginning the band sought to innovate rather than imitate, intending to
create a combination of social/political awareness and aggression.
Feeling that hardcore had strayed from its roots and DIY ethic into
subgenres like Emo and Chaotic Metal, a good, basic, heavy sound is their aim.
Providence’s style is huge, metallic and epic, yet manages to be
efficient and straight up at the same time. A low and thick dual guitar
sound is underpinned by intense double-bass drumming, mostly switching
between mid-tempo and punishing breakdowns but occasionally breaking
into full-on bursts of hardcore speed. The hoarse-growled vocals that
complete this already potent formula are complimented by monstrous gang
backups, spitting out venom on a variety of topics including politics,
economy and the craziness of the world, yet maintaining a poetic turn of
phrase."
