In collaboration with In Famous Carousel, Paris
Attention! Special event!
Corrupted’s visit to the LUFF is miraculous!
Coming straight from Osaka, Japan, Corrupted is THE absolute reference in terms of monolithic and experimental «Sludge Doom».
The band has become legendary: consistently refusing interviews and photo shoots, the band has only been seen in Europe during a discreet tour in 2000. They mainly perform in Japan since.
Corrupted’s music is bleak, monumental and slow as a pachyderm… Extraordinary brutal riffs-drones played in a very low guitar/bass duo, as well as a drummer who maintains a brontosaurus like striking force on improbable slow tempos serve as a morbid box for a singer with an inimitable tone: guttural and abysmal at will, he declaims apocalyptic texts in Spanish (!!!). The band sometime uses long instrumental, melancholic breaks that admirably contrast with the force of their sound.
During this concert, Corrupted is accompanied by visual mediums from the deceased photographer TSURISAKI KIYOTAKA whose film retrospective is shown at the LUFF 08 (see cinema program). The experience of this concert will certainly leave a trace this evening. Their totally unparalleled music is the perfect apocalypse soundtrack.
