Atomic Friday

Convulsif is a bass (sinister), drums (diabolic), a bass clarinet (vicious) and a violin (fierce). Yes, fierce,
don't let your little sister's violin lessons trick you, classical instruments have an evil side, this band gives
proof. Convulsif is dark and surprisingly addictive. A quartet of mad experimental extremists, Convulsif
plays the perfect delirium made from doom, noise, and drone. Nightmarish, repetitive, ritualized.
Relentlessly they take possession of your cortex and brand it with their monolithic sound. The band
doesn't fit in pre-established categories with its complex, distinct and intense pieces. Why would you
want to do something else if you can listen to Convulsif and go for a little walk in the cemetery with your
axe?
