about

Hailing from Brittany, historical center of France’s industrial scene and in close proximity to Belgium’s infamous rave and EBM innovations, Ekors set out to deliberately blacken and burn the sophisticated sounds emanating from Paris. With releases on Amsterdam’s harsh Leyla imprint, fellow French hardcore iconoclast Umwelt’s Flesh or Die, and JoeFarr’s User Experience, the trio undoubtedly made their name in their lonely redoubt in the timberland, and Rant & Rave is honored to host their theme EP, Forest Killers, as our fifth release.

‘Woodchip’ conjures nightmares of dead bodies run through a wood chipper rather than more pastoral scenes, its distorted kicks, bone-crushing bass and blasted-apart leads chopping air and anyone unlucky enough to stand in its way. Title track ‘Forest Killers’ is murderous, the lurching breakbeat and shrapnel percussion approaching like axe falls
ever closer until the horror score melody enters, then accelerating frantically as the killers close in. ‘Evil Sapp’ only seems subdued in comparison, its hammering techno pulse providing scant breathing room as industrial machinery fells nearby trees. Self-explanatory ‘Chainsaw Requiem’ ups the discomfort as the titular tool buzzes overhead, more Texas Chainsaw Massacre than weekend warrior woodpile work. Amidst squalling leads, ricocheting percussion, fearful blasts of noise, and pounding bass and kicks, Ekors escort us out of the haunted wood, sighs of relief and evil laughs joining in chorus.
