Padua, Italy based sludge/noise/post-hardcore quintet Wojtek premiere new music video for the song »Dying Breed« taken from their latest album, »Petricore«, out on September 19th, 2023 via Flames Don’t Judge, Fresh Outbreak Records, The Fucking Clinica, Dio Drone Records, Shove Records, Teschio Dischi and Violence In The Veins.

PETRICORE: a particular olfactory sensation that can be perceived when rain falls on soil that has been dry for some time. Petricore is the name of the odour one smells during and after rain that interrupts a dry period.

Following this thread, the album is a mirror image of who Wojtek are today, the result of the trenches that life has dug in the path of the five current members.

For »Petricore«, we aimed for a more precise production compared to the past, expanding our atmospheres into new territories that today are flowing much more naturally through our hands. These are six portraits of the same bear, different in speed, intentions or sub-genres.

It is a record that must be listened to from head to toe in order to enjoy it fully: perhaps a record for no one, or rather a record for all those who, now and always, insist on seeking out what high-octane music can provide.
