REVIEW – Norwegian noise-rock duo BARREN WOMB is back with their latest single, “Squat Walker,” a blistering preview of their upcoming album Chemical Tardigrade, set for release on February 16th, 2024, via Fucking North Pole Records/Blues For The Red Sun.
Right from the opening note, “Squat Walker” barrels forward with an unhinged energy, blending raw, punk-fueled aggression with tight, punchy rhythms. Decibel Magazine described it as “a perfect combination of Refused and Rocket From the Crypt,” and it’s easy to hear why. The track lunges between jagged riffs, frenetic drum patterns, and wild vocal outbursts, all while maintaining an infectious groove that makes it impossible to sit still.
The band’s signature ability to craft chaos into something catchy shines here—think Metz meets Turnstile with a side of KEN Mode. The track’s relentless momentum, gruff yells, and clanging dissonance drive home the fact that BARREN WOMB has only refined their knack for noisy, controlled mayhem.
If Chemical Tardigrade is anything like “Squat Walker,” fans can expect a record filled with explosive energy, unpredictability, and sheer sonic force. This single is a must-listen for anyone craving noise rock that doesn’t just hit—it crashes into you.
