Kalpa come from Athens, Greece and they have always moved within the DIY way of life, being vocal about their active stance against fascism, racism and any other discriminatory behaviour. Showcasing this, their new album A Grand Misconception, which has just come out, is a co-release with the participation of many DIY labels and/or distros from all over the world: WOOAAARGH(DE), Pandora Records(DE), RAKKERPAK RECORDS(DK), Mërda Distro(ES), Seitan Hell Bïke Punx(ES), Prejudice Me Records and Distro(UK), Falköping DIY(SE), Nothing to Harvest Records(GR), Sweetohm recordings(GR), Vault Relics(GR), Underground Union Records(GR), Body Blows Records(GR), Ομάδα Πείραμα Distro(GR) and Pattern Recognition Records(US).
Musicwise, in A Grand Misconception, Kalpa follow their 2016 debut album Dissociate with a more mature and at the same time more unrestrained piece of work, setting the boundaries of their sound even further. The foundation is a post-hardcore framework which gets enriched with math structures, noise elements and more straight hardcore rhythms; chaos and structure at the same time. This album sounds to me like a landmark of the genre for this year and one everyone must definitely check out.
A Grand Misconception is available for free streaming and download or digital purchase and the Vault Relics bandcamp is one of the places you can find it. News about its release in CD, LP or tape are due soon, so stay tuned.
