Arriving via a triangulation of Athens, Crete and London, yet existing at a psychic intersection between the ruins of crumbling infrastructure and an intimidating future dystopia Kooba Tercu have seen fit to take arms as only they see fit. Proto Tekno is their mission statement writ large - a potent and pulverizing collection of incendiary jams fueled by the modern age yet transcending it with vicious style. Equal parts groove-driven mantra, red blooded freakout and experiment onslaught, this is the sound of a fearless band raging against the dying of the light.

Proto Tekno seamlessly travels from a fuzz-bass headbanger like the opener "Benzoberry" to the mantric blowout of "Qasan" (assaulting CAN-esque dimensions equal parts caustic and cinematic) and from the sleazy swagger of "Cemento Mori" (redolent of the suave machinations of Girls Against Boys) to the polyrhythmic drive of the ceremonial centrepiece "Fair Game," while maintaining their unique full-throttle intensity and generosity of character.

There's Melvins-style groove to be had on Proto Tekno ("Kamehameha") just as much as Beta Band-style songcraft ("Puppy Pile") yet these disparate influences coalesce vividly into an invigorating and intimidatingly confident assault on the senses.
