Bombay, India’s Pacifist have released the Five, the EP was crafted through meticulous analog craft, charged emotions, introspective thought and an unwavering commitment to hardcore’s values. Self-produced and mixed by guitarist Apurv with mastering by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Five is a statement rooted in creativity, friendship, and distinction. The band’s bombastic sound hits off the bat with opener, Running Out, a pulsating track screaming about the state of the world inching closer to doomsday. Skunk Leather provides a windy and reflective reprieve while Built To Destroy intensifies with feral riffs and lyrics addressing the violent psyche of humankind. Closer Purge, Atone bursts through lyrics of death as a frenetic display releases into a haunting instrumental. Throughout Five, Pacifist deliver a mission statement seeded in revolution.
“Five is communion. five is standing strong. Five is the fist that fights the good fight. More than a number or a milestone; a statement about sticking with the hardcore ethic, about keeping a legacy alive in a world that no longer sees it as necessary. whilst living culturally orphaned in a third world that’s set in steady decline, ‘five’ is our sermon on a scarce & fast dying approach to music with plenty of emotional heft. Born in an era of modern disconnect, the radical thing to do is embrace the ideals of our past. the slow truth, tangible feelings, reality as the perceived; not projected. the missing blocks of our human existence expressed while cutting away from sterile, clinical methods of creation in the modern day & age, five is an act of rebellion, a protest to the status quo, challenging the ongoing simulated exploitation of human ability”.
