““The Scapegoat’s Agony' — Coma Beach’s razor‑sharp blast of punk catharsis and existential turmoil”
When resentment becomes resistance: I Ya Toyah's Apology is a crushing industrial rock anthem that blurs the line between justified pain and dangerous entitlement — heavy riffs, hypnotic grooves, and unexpected piano elegance colliding in confrontational fury. Montreal's The City Gates' Chimera unfolds like a nocturnal landscape of brooding post-punk rhythms and shimmering shoegaze walls of sound, "caught somewhere between collapse and transcendence." Coma Beach's The Scapegoat's Agony delivers a razor-sharp blast of punk catharsis steeped in Beckett, Schopenhauer, and radical metaphysical pessimism, while their fever-dream EP Passion/Bliss closes out their "Scapegoat Revisited" triptych caught between punk abrasion and post-punk hallucination.
