Ditching sequenced tracks, Greenberg opted for single takes to highlight the Frankenstein-like guitar-bass-synth hybrid that oozes throughout the recording. Meanwhile, crushing guitar thunder is punched up by Fox’s masterful drumming while Berdan’s cries from the nether feel more desperate and morose than ever.

Before they were genre-hopping through country, post-punk, noise rock, and more, they were applying that experimental nature within the more confined space of punk. Within that genre they were wildly adventurous, playing noise shows, hardcore shows, rock shows, and switching up the instrumentation as they saw fit, while always operating within a general punk ethos. Their first demo was a hand-dubbed and spray-painted run of 32 copies, half of which worked, and their first shows were at New York dives like Tommy’s Tavern, Matchless, and Don Pedro. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat hand-dubbed demo kicked off a furious run of creative output from 2008 to 2011, much of which is now collected on the new compilation, \u003cem\u003eHated\u003c\/em\u003e. The songs on Hated are pulled from a variety of sources — the debut demo tape, a split with Nomos, a 7\", a 12\" EP, and a slew of unreleased demos, outtakes, and live recordings.

There’s no victim to rescue. There’s no evil to thwart. There’s no tyranny to turnover. Instead of saving the day against his better judgment, he just walks a Sisyphean circle of existential malaise doomed to repeat yesterday’s vices without the promise of a better tomorrow. Rather than tell this story on the screen or on the page, Uniform tell it on their fourth full-length album, \u003cem\u003eShame\u003c\/em\u003e. The trio – Michael Berdan (vocals), Ben Greenberg (guitar, production), and Mike Sharp (drums) – strain struggle through an industrialized mill of grating guitars, warped electronics, war-torn percussion, and demonically catchy vocalizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Thematically, the album is like a classic hard-boiled paperback novel without a case,” says Berdan. “It focuses on the static state of an antihero as he mulls over his life in the interim between major events, just existing in the world. At the time we were making the record, I was reading books by Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, and Dashiell Hammet and strangely found myself identifying with the internal dialogues of characters like Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lead-up to this moment proved just as intriguing as any of those characters’ exploits. Born in 2013, Uniform bulldozed a path to the forefront of underground music.

Pitchfork christened it “their most unified—and most deranged—record to date,” and The Line of Best Fit crowned them “vanguards within the genre.” In addition to touring with the likes of \u003cstrong\u003eDeafheaven\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBoris\u003c\/strong\u003e, they joined forces with \u003cstrong\u003eThe Body\u003c\/strong\u003e for a pair of collaborative albums – \u003cem\u003eMental Wounds Not Healing\u003c\/em\u003e (2018) and \u003cem\u003eEverything That Dies Someday Comes Back\u003c\/em\u003e (2019) – as well as the live release, \u003cem\u003eLive at the End of the World\u003c\/em\u003e (2020).

The sophomore album Pale Swordsman follows yet expands on what Dmitry was already experimenting with in the debut Night \u0026amp; Love. Originally released on the Finnish label Livor Mortis in 2021, Pale Swordsman goes to even greater extents in building a bold and atmospheric sonic palette, and it’s now seeing a worldwide reissue via Brooklyn label Sacred Bones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eWork on the record started in spring of 2020. “I decided to give my absolute everything to the next album” said Dmitry reflecting on this period “and for the sake of better concentration, I tried to isolate myself for a couple of weeks at our family’s country house outside of the city. There I came up with half of the songs for the album (Thorns, Night Descends, In the Garden, Amid the Stars, Crystal).”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eFor the sound design of the album, Dmitry was inspired by The Stooges’ Raw Power to deliver a more soft sounding album, decisively less “metal”. Traditional black metal song structures still persist in songs like “Night Descends” and “In The Garden”. However, their rawness and fast tempos is quickly cut through by dark ambient passages in “Amor” and “Intro” and softly played desolate ballads like “Nocturne” and “Lily”. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eThe crown jewel is the album closer “Swordsman”, a track that displays a superb gothic sensibility, a poem recited over a deeply melancholic piano melody. “The Christian concept of a person ridding themselves of evil to find inner peace or to be able to leave this world safely has become the core inspiration for the song.” Dmitry explains “However, this is not the only reading possible.

The character is portrayed on the striking album cover art - a figure sitting aloof with a sword and a rose in each hand - and clearly symbolises the romantic juxtaposition of belligerence and fragile beauty that permeates the album’s sound and atmosphere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eOn this album we follow the character’s journey through haunting despair, longing and resignation.

Written and recorded in the darkest days of the pandemic, it is the sound of frustration, but one founded on resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album opens with the collaboration’s first single, “You Are the Beginning,” a ferocious thrash-inflected banger concocted by the Boris camp. From there the album continues its relentless assault with “Weaponized Grief,” a fevered mashup of Japanese D-beat and Boredoms’ deliberately mismatched sonic textures. There isn’t a moment to sift through the wreckage before the bands launch into “No,” a deliberate nod to the Japanese hardcore homage of Boris’s 2020 album \u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003eNO\u003c\/i\u003e. Respite finally comes with the glacial amplifier worship of “The Look is a Flame,” a Boris-penned song meant to evoke light and salvation over gloom and cruelty.

Similarly, “A Man From the Earth” feels less centered on catharsis and more fixated on a gritty, buried-in-the-red spin on David Bowie’s glam years. But these deviations only serve to make the album closer and second single, “Not Surprised,” all the more bleak, anguished, and harrowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_actions__container c-message__actions\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Message actions\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message__content c-message__content--feature_sonic_inputs\" data-qa=\"message_content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Sacred Bones Record Society version: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition of 150 copies,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003epressed on Red and Black galaxy vinyl.
