Purusam – Daybreak Chronicle | 90s Album Review
from Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock · host Dig Me Out
Refused famously titled their landmark 1998 post-hardcore album The Shape of Punk to Come, a nod to the trailblazing Ornette Coleman avant garde/free jazz album The Shape of Jazz to Come released in 1959. The short-lived band Swedish band Purusam released their second and final album Daybreak Chronicles in 1997 on the Refused-connected Desperate Fight Records, though it could have been titled The Shape of Metal to Come. More than just a post-hardcore outfit, the band dabbled in Iron Maiden-style twin guitar attacks and galloping rhythms before shifting into progressive-ish mode with cello drenched interludes while balancing screaming male vocals and ethereal female vocals.
