Present - Certitudes
SKU
Rune 107
"Notably more furious & urgent than anything on their previous albums...these avatars of an anguished, angular muse have unleashed their ultimate tour de force...this is a turbulent masterpiece." 5 stars (highest rating) - Alternative Press
After Roger Trigaux left Univers Zero, he formed Present. After a long lay-off and a gradual return to music, this was the 1998 release that led to a newly rejuvinated band and their legendary trek across the USA that same year.
Just telling you the lineup will give you an idea of how good this is:
Roger Trigaux-guitars & vocals
Réginald Trigaux-guitars and vocals
Alain Rochette-keyboards
Guy Segers-bass
Daniel Denis-drums
All perform with a lot of fire & energy, & this combines the precision & intricacy of Present's earlier sound with the heavy attack of Live. Hearing Roger, Guy & Daniel together again for the 1st time since Heresie is a genuine unexpected treat - a treat that never happened again - & adding keyboards to the dual guitar lineup helps to expand out the sound greatly. 3 tracks penned by Roger, & 1 short charmer by Alain.
