K L P S - News

More a re-brand.
We have decided to write our name, K L P S from this moment forward.
It's still pronounced (KOLLAPS\E).
But to separate us from the awesome danish band, Kollaps we thought this would
be the right way to go.
It's not a name change...

Phantom Centre Reviews
Bossman Shaman Lee joked about my decision to take on Phantom Centre given my well-publicized distaste of post-metal. He’s right, my feelings about the genre have always been that I tend to find it overlong, pompous and unengaging for the most part. However, KOLLAPS\E thankfully are a different kettle of fish, with tracks of a reasonable length and enough diversity to satisfy even the most cynical and jaded of music journalists such as myself.
I'm glad to say that Kollaps\e have only progressed as a band to my hearing and present a forward-thinking approach to a sound that should be familiar to fans of heavy music typically labeled as "post-metal." While I grew tired of that particular genre moniker a long time ago, I don't mind using it rather than giving you all a list of bands to compare Kollaps\e with, especially because these comparisons are often pointless.
Phantom Centre is that moment when you see yourself biting your nails in the mirror’s reflection and realise that you’re alone and without human company. Why are you so self-conscious and prone to overthinking everything? It’s good to know that KOLLAPS\E suffer from the same doubts in private. The way they finish in maximum overdrive with all instruments boiling at the end of closing track, ‘Murrain’, will remind you of your instinct for survival. You might dread tomorrow or next year, but your protective mechanisms and habits will kick in at your lowest ebb. All you can do is unleash the frustration when nobody can see you.
Crushing or spacious or both when it wants to be, Phantom Centre is a strong, pandemic-born debut that looks forward while showing both that it’s schooled in its own genre and has begun to decide which rules it wants to break.
