"Like Atari Teenage Riot playing some Melvins", they said.
​
From the violence of hardcore punk concerts to the heaviness of sludge metal, all the way to the hallucinatory state of certain dawns spent dancing at the worst techno afterparties with a pounding bass.
​
In an opulent age where everything is consumed quickly, arottenbit blends genres using an obsolete tool, an old NINTENDO GAME BOY rescued from the trash. A children's toy, now used to awaken the nightmares of adults.
​
If punk taught us that you don't need to know how to play an instrument to make music, today we learn that you don't even need to own a musical instrument to make music!
​
From 70 to 240 bpm on a heavy and furious journey, encompassing all the influences that a metropolis can offer during its darkest nights.
