Tsunami come as no surprise on their self-titled debut album Tsunamistuff – that is, beatdown hardcore that is as resistant to development as it is effective with tough, flaming metalcore intuitions.
Since their first demo in 2019 triggered a veritable hype in the scene, hardly anything has changed in the band from San José – why should it? Success gives Tsunami ultimately right and requires no intellectual justification.
The disillusionment that the group’s first full-length player didn’t substantially match the best scenes of their previous discography (such as those on the explosive split with Gulch) is just as limited behind the wonderfully powerful, dry and hard-hitting staging by Charles Toshio and Taylor Young as the confirmed realization that the aesthetic, stylistic and content-related horizon of the quartet remains manageable, is less shocking than through the narrow focus of competence captivates: the barely complex agenda of Tsunami has clearly drawn her fronts and articulates them with unmistakable consistency, very adept.
Along with the monotonous screams of frontman Josef Alfonso in the always same chanted rhythms, fat, extremely muscular riffs bang in the pit in aggressively fired volleys, harshly pounding and furiously hammering, stirring up an almost actionist energy. The fact that the ruthless simplicity is relatively smartly put into songs from the usual palette that are not too dull, and that the dynamics remain high without large variables, speaks for itself once more Tsunamibut is also due to a few hatchings that break up the brute formula (besides two counteracting sample intermediate parts): with a lot of imagination you can use the highlight Dirty Work the penchant for the precision of Helmet hear, and in No Heart optimistic trace elements of System of a Down and Slipknot search – or in both cases just nod off that Tsunami simply have a groove in their sound like few of their peers.
Die Gang-Vocals in 10 Toes Down and the crossover flair in Six keep the already entertaining affair compact before the new recording of Contempt of Cop up to the indicated Knocked Loose-Hysteria being unleashed, only to go with the standard followingwards Defraud quite unspectacular to release from almost 18 minutes of an album, which is primitive and chubby as functional music with a leverage effect that is probably only ideally achieved live and is also quite a lot of fighting fun.
