Affenpinshers is a hardcore metal power-trio characterized by violent riffs, raging screams, earth-shaking bass, and frenetic rhythms. Structuring then dismantling, insistence and explosions, a pool of molten lava open to anyone willing to throw their soul into it.
Speed, Power And Terror is the name of the 5-track EP set to be released in October 2023, including Speed Absolves Us, the first video already available online.
When the world tears itself apart and ignites, Affenpinshers resonates as a pure will to exist through the embers. The sun withers, water becomes scarce, diseases terrorize, and men deceive themselves. It is the sound of a different kind of survival, an animalistic, instinctive survival, yet still charged with a fierce love. A call to resist social decline, a critical form motivated by our humanity delivered to solitude. It is a manifestation of violence fueled by modernized hippie values. Affenpinshers has come to make the voiceless scream and pillage the oppressors.
"Affenpinshers is a cry of distress, a place of purging, a spatio-temporal outlet where bodies can emerge from crisis. In any case, we want to be there to condemn frustrations and cherish inner fulfillment."
Affenpinshers was born as a solo project founded by Jules Bouchier-Végis. It initially consisted of a collection of co-produced compositions with Nicolas Exposito (the founding guitarist of Landmvrks) without any intention of releasing it to the public. However, after several years of independent production, the desire to form a band became necessary to bring the music to life on stage through a strong artistic identity. Gil Dieu was the first to join the project, reinterpreting the drum parts of the compositions. He was followed by Thibaud Piron on bass. Jules, coming from the metal scene in Marseille, had toured for several years with Landmvrks as a guitarist before meeting Gil and Thibaud, former members of Reach The Shore, through the metalcore network in Belgium.
