Born in the summer of 2022, in the urban labyrinths of Vila Nova de Gaia, IDLE HAND rise like a sonic omen, molded in the friction between the crushing slowness of doom and the merciless harshness of hardcore punk. However, their approach isn't limited to sheer weight, it's a tapestry of shadows and texture, where the riffs drag the soul through arid terrain and the claustrophobic atmosphere is diluted in moments of dark reflections. There is a latent urgency in their music, a pulse that suggests something about to collapse. With musicians coming from the trenches of the national underground, their first release, an EP captured in a live session, previews the concert at SWR 25: where the raw energy promises to become as abrasive as it is ethereal.
