Palm - To Live Is to Die, To Die Is to Live (2018)

‘To Live Is To Die, To Die Is To Live’ - mortality simultaneously embraced, denied, and then torn to shreds in a deeply condensed and violent flurry of human darkness. Hailing from Osaka, Japan - Palm belay the gritty underground of the hypermodern metropolis they call home, having grown to become both leaders of and ambassadors for their local scene since forming in the year 2000. This latest offering is the band’s third full-length album, and ‘To Live Is To Die, To Die Is To Live’ seethes with punk attitude, southern flavour, and death metal aesthetics, while delivering a sharp focus on what they do best - savage blast beats, off-kilter transitions, and unforgiving riffs designed to damage floors and eardrums.
