For fans of: Sikth / The Dillinger Escape Plan / Protest the Hero
UK band Shriukume started to make a lot of noise in the UK scene these past couple of years, bringing to the table their own unique take on the Metalcore and Math-Metal genres. Although it was sad to see Shirukume came to an end a month or so back, out of the ashes rose Chronographs; a new band from the same members. Yeah, okay, so I know what you’re thinking, it’s just a name change right? Well yes and no I guess. The band seem willing to emphasise that it means much more than that to them. Chronographs is a new chapter for the young musicians, with new music and announcements coming soon.
For those that haven’t heard Shirukume, they finally released their debut EP earlier this year, to almost universal critical praise. The band was praised for their strong abilities in song writing and willingness to experiment, forging their own sound in the process. You can check out my review later of their EP here.

Chronographs released their first single, Dutch Courage, earlier this month; a fine example of brutal Math-Metal mayhem, but it is the latest song, Tides, released last Friday, that shows real promise for the band.
The new song, Tides, can be heard here:
