Impressed by Lars von Trier’s The Home That Jack Constructed, the observe’s idea attracts from the movie’s chilling metaphor of The Noble Rot, a fungus that decays grapes to provide refined candy wine—a twisted analogy utilized by the movie’s protagonist to justify his crimes. COGAS repurposes this metaphor to discover the shameless nature of their very own character throughout the album’s darkish narrative, paying homage to von Trier’s masterful (and, for now, last) movie.
Musically, “The Noble Rot” is an onslaught of relentless, thunderous rhythms and shifting vocal dynamics, culminating in a finale that nods to the early 2000s period of utmost metallic—when uncooked expression and theatricality coexisted of their most feral types. The observe captures the essence of COGAS’ sound: an ideal stability of frenzied aggression, chilly ambiance, and complex construction.
