THE REVIEW

2011 promises strong emotions.

Beau Navire. Emoviolence. Or screamo. People still haven't decided what genre they fall into. I've never understood the difference between the two genres, by the way.

But something everyone agrees on: in this first Full Length, there are all the requirements that a release of this kind must have to be noteworthy. It is dark, it is very heavy, it is very intense, it is very dense. Few melodic flashes, a lot of genuine despair. Anger and pain. Obviously many emotions, mostly negative. The space opened to hope is truly minimal.

An attitude reminiscent of the lamented Love Lost But Not Forgotten (don't know them? punish yourself and listen to "Upon the Right, I Saw a New Misery"), not too distant even in sound, if not for Beau Navire being just a bit more melodic and clean.

Thirteen tracks, thirteen heart-wrenching drills. Enclosed in less than 25 minutes of duration.

Anything else to say? I don't think so.

"This is our chance to fly... I promised."

Beau Navire's debut album Hours delivers a powerful dose of intense, dark emotions typical of emoviolence and screamo. With 13 tracks packed into 25 minutes, it embodies heavy, dense, and raw despair. The band slightly tempers the aggression with moments of melody and clean vocals, reminiscent of Love Lost But Not Forgotten. This record stands out as a noteworthy release full of genuine anger and minimal hope.
