    Their artwork is also impressive, as it gives a deeper meaning to Tenue's desperate worldview sound. We are blindfolded, silenced, and alone from the truth in this society. We are blindfolded from the truth in this society, silent and lonely, unaware (or not) that we are crushing our own hidden potential, perched on a branch, twittering.

about

Tenue's latest release, Territorios, is an ambitious work full of determination to inherit and update the history of Spanish hardcore.
Galicia, Spain has a long history of punk. Ekkaia, Ictus, Madame Germen, and many other Spanish hardcore bands with emotional passion and melancholy have been born in one area of Galicia. It's already a known fact that they were extremely local mutations, but this band Tenue proves that their history continues to this day in 2021.
Tenue first appeared on the scene with a demo in 2017, and while quick-eared listeners may have already checked them out, it wasn't until their last album, Anábasis, released in 2018, that they actually gained significant recognition. The album, with its compositional beauty in the context of European Screamo and its counterpoint of violent and dirty distortion, was a huge hit and made Tenue a hot new band on the scene. At the time, however, the band's sound was more "hardcore" and less innovative and thematic than their predecessors. However, "Territorios" is an album with a completely different direction and meaning from the previous albums. It contains only one song, a 30-minute long piece, which expresses the anguish and anger of people living in the modern society, while at the same time drawing a big circle and cutting into the universal themes of humanity, love, and happiness. In the four years since the last album, the band has gone through a lot of experiences, and their sound has transformed into a sound that shows that they have developed their expression and thoughts and grown a lot.
The length of a song does not mean that it will be dramatic if it is long enough. The inevitability of the "length" is questioned. It takes time to reach the universal human truth that lies deep within the emotions of anger and sadness. It takes a long time to descend to the bottom of our consciousness, and we are convinced that this "time" is exactly what we needed. This "length" and the "thematic nature" of the work are exactly the same as Ictus' masterpiece album "Imperivm", although the direction of expression is different. It is not too much of a coincidence that the album was recorded and mastered at Kollapse Studio with Iván Ferro of Khmer/Ictus as the sound engineer. There is an inevitability to the sound, to the expression, to everything.

Inheriting the context of Spanish hardcore and neo-classical music, this album is expected to create a stir in the contemporary Emo/Screamo scene. 3LA released this album in Japan, and ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA in Germany, which has released many neo-classical bands overseas. RECORDS in Germany, which has released many neo-classical bands, ZEGEMA BEACH RECORDS in Canada, which continues to support the current Screamo, PIFIA RECORDS in Austria, CRUST OR DIE LABEL in Brazil, and THE PLAGUE OF MAN RECORDS in the US. The album will be released on June 25, 2021 on limited edition yellow vinyl with lyrics translation for the Japanese version only.

Tenueの最新作『Territorios』はスパニッシュハードコアの歴史を受け継ぎ、更新していく気概に満ち溢れた野心的な作品である。
スペイン、ガリシア州のパンクの歴史は古い。この土地に宿る文化的な風土は、独特な価値観を持ったバンドを数多く輩出することに貢献してきた。Ekkaia,Ictus,Madame Germenといったエモーショナルなパッションと哀愁を内包するスパニッシュハードコア勢の数多くがガリシア州の一区域から生まれてきた極めてローカルな突然変異であったことは既に知られている事実だが、その歴史は2021年の今日まで続いていることをこのTenueというバンドは見事に証明してくれた。
Tenueが初めてシーンに現れたのは2017年のDEMOで、耳の早いリスナーは既にチェックしていたかもしれないが、実際に大きな知名度を獲得したのは2018年リリースの前作『Anábasis』からだろう。欧州Screamoの文脈にある構成美、それと対極を成す激しく汚らしく歪ませたディストーションが響き渡るアルバムは大きな反響を得ておりTenueは一躍注目の新人バンドとしてシーンに躍り出た。しかし、当時そのサウンドはあくまでも「激情ハードコア」的であったと思うし、革新性やテーマ性といった点においては先人たちの残した名盤には及ぶほどではなかった。しかし本作「Territorios」は前作とは全く異なる方向性と意味を持つアルバムだ。収録されているのは約30分の長編曲の1曲のみ、そしてそれは現代社会に生きる人間の苦悩や怒りを表現しながら同時に、人間性とは、愛とは、幸福とは、という普遍的テーマへと大きな円を描きながら切り込んでいく。前作からの約4年、バンドが多くの経験を経て、表現、思想をより発展させ、大きく成長したことを伺わせるサウンドへと変貌した。
楽曲の長さはただ長ければドラマティックになるわけではない。その「長さ」への必然性が問われる。怒りや悲しみという感情の奥底にある、人間の普遍的な真実に到達するまでの時間が必要なのだ。長い時間をかけて意識の底へと降りていく、その「時間」がまさに、我々には必要だったのだと納得させられる。そしてこの「長さ」と作品の「テーマ性」は、表現の方向性は違えどまさにIctusの傑作アルバム『Imperivm』と同軸にあるものである。それはサウンドエンジニアにKhmer/IctusのIván Ferroを迎え、Kollapse Studioでレコーディングとマスタリングを行っていることからも決して出来すぎた偶然ではない。サウンドにも、表現にも、すべてに必然性があるのだ。

スパニッシュハードコア、ネオクラストの文脈を受け継ぎながら現代のEmo/Screamoシーンに対しても一石を投じるであろうと本作は日本からは3LAがリリース、そして海外では多くのネオクラストバンドをリリースしてきたドイツのALERTA ANTIFASCISTA RECORDS、現行Screamoをサポートし続けるカナダのZEGEMA BEACH RECORDSをはじめ、オーストリアのPIFIA RECORDS、ブラジルのCRUST OR DIE LABEL、USのTHE PLAGUE OF MAN RECORDSとの共同リリースという布陣になっており、限定Yellow Vinylで日本盤のみ歌詞翻訳付きという仕様で、2021年6月25日リリースとなります。
