Alt Blk Era

Rave Immortal

Earache Records

Out on January 24

Lured straight in by the sweetest, most angelic, sultry vocals of opening track ‘Straight to Heart’, sisters Alt Blk Era have your own heart for every beat of ‘Rave Immortal’. Unafraid to explore all noises and notes while being brave and bold about the background to this release, Chaya and Nyrobi Beckett-Messam’s debut album mixes grace and grit. ‘Rave Immortal’ tells the tale of Nyrobi’s hidden disability which left her bed-ridden for years. With her devoted sister by her side and defiance in their hearts, a life changing illness evolved into a life affirming album. Turn up the volume for raging ‘Upstairs Neighbours’ – this track’ll raise a smile as well as the roof, and have you spinning in happy circles, headbanging your cares away. ‘Come Fight Me For It’ keeps the stunningly abrasive synths coming with high tempo urgency and fast in yer face vocals. Kick ass ‘Crashing Parties’ brings brilliant vocal bite with gnarly keys gnashing over a euphoric melody. Moreish, loud, manic title track ‘Rave Immortal’ has dance energy for days and inspiration to change for life. This album is outstanding. And it's only the start for Alt Blk Era.
