Jungbluth
Part Ache

Law of Lavoiser: nothing is created and nothing is destroyed, but everything transforms.

The Jungbluth are 3/4 of Alpinist, a band that quickly earned a great respect in the European DIY Hardcore scene thanks to an explosive mix of Crust, Screamo, powerful Sludge slowdowns, and sudden accelerations. They call it Dark Hardcore.

With Alpinist in the classic state of hiatus, three of them decided to continue the already begun discourse, and thus Jungbluth was born, a moniker that derives from Mark Jungbluth, a German communist and anti-fascist at the time of World War II, which says a lot about the group's attitude. 

Part Ache is a blow delivered with extreme power, a blow through which destruction becomes creation in a phase of transition. Transformation, one of the cornerstones of Chemistry.

The transformation of the hardcore dictates and beyond into something else, something new, something positive in view of the future. The image is that of a crevasse, a fissure that opens in the ice, something that might seem insignificant in the white landscape of a glacier but actually brings enormous potential for change to the landscape. The possibility that cracks will widen further must certainly be considered, even if no one knows exactly when and how much they will do it. Jungbluth hope this will happen, and the extent to which it will happen, time will tell.

Part Ache is 28 minutes of extremely personal and passionate Hardcore, furious rhythms and sudden tempo changes, traces of Noise, and even Post Rock that develop on a very solid base formed by modern Crust and traces of certain Emo Violence where intimate, suffering, and heartfelt melodic openings are not neglected.

Part Ache is an album that strongly cracks the ice layer under which lies creativity, the ability to renew oneself, and that sensitivity that allows us to grasp the nuances of black and white, going beyond established boundaries. A force that carves mountains. 

Looks like freedom. Feels like death.
