Asbest – »Cyanide For Breakfast« // new video

“You can feel the despair building as the guitars seethe and rake and the drums clobber. The guitars also glitter when the drums vanish, like a moment of gloomy introspection, bringing a daunting realization. And from there the music builds into a harrowing storm – the drums becoming more manic, the guitars beginning to sear in agony, the vocals cracking under the strain – and then collapses in a dismal denouement. The video is a fascinating metaphor for the song’s themes…” — No Clean Singing / Full article HERE 

The song »Cyanide For Breakfast« is taken from Asbest’s forthcoming album »Cyanide« – out May 19th, 2023 via A Tree In A Field Records and Czar Of Crickets Productions.

About Asbest:

In 2018, noise rock band Asbest appeared out of nowhere with their debut album «Driven», which received highly positive reviews internationally (Visions: 9/12, “A combination of Metz’s or Pissed Jeans’s rawness with openness for experiments like A Place To Bury Strangers, underscored by shoegaze elements”). The blog bprodukt wrote: “Never before have cold post-punk, passionate noise rock and hypnotic shoegaze been combined so naturally”.

Connected to the LGBTQIA+ movement (people discriminated against by the patriarchy due to their sexual orientation or gender identity), Asbest use their follow-up album »Cyanide« to condemn the compulsions of modern society: pressure to succeed, self-optimisation, self-exploitation. They explore the question: Is it possible to lead a truly happy existence within a diseased reality without denying oneself or the circumstances? To quote Adorno: Is there a right life in the wrong one?

Asbest lineup:
Robyn Trachsel – Vocals, Guitar
Judith Breitinger – Vocals, Bass
Jonas Häne – Drums
