Sherbrooke, Québec’s Sights of War have built themselves into one of Canada’s most relentless d-beat/crust cults since their formation in 2011, and Misérable Nihiliste is their most comprehensive statement yet: twenty-three tracks in approximately thirty-two minutes of furious, blackened d-beat that draws its lineage equally from the crust punk tradition and the black/thrash underground. The band’s declaration of intent is as honest as it gets — formed to pay homage to Darkthrone, Toxic Holocaust, Midnight, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Bathory, Sodom, Inepsy, Venom, Discharge, Anti-Cimex, Tragedy, Totalitar, Anti-Sect, and Autopsy — and Misérable Nihiliste delivers on every one of those promises. From the opening barrage of Breeding Violence and Ignorant Mess through the war-metal ferocity of They Wage War, the French-language nihilism of La Haine, Le Puit de l’Hypocrisie, and the title track Misérable Nihiliste, the grinding fury of Atomic Blast Beat and Napalm Nightmare, to the closing Killing Machine — the album never pauses, never concedes, and never asks for your sympathy. Released through PRC Music, one of Québec’s most dedicated extreme underground labels. Essential for devotees of the d-beat wars.
