The Pitch: London quintet Calligram lays waste to the city with blackened, metallic punk fury.

What I Like: Demimonde is not only highly aggressive, but strangely melodic in a bleak and morbid kind of way.  It is also extremely concise, which allows each track to shine.  Calligram understand that the merit of an album like this stands firmly on its hooks.

What I Don't Like: Nothing, really.  No new ground broken, but it stands its own.

The Verdict: With truly furious vocals, D-beat, and a combination of noise and sinister melody, Calligram lurch forth in a way that makes we confident we will see them again in the future.  Kind of a low key Converge sound going on.

Flight's Fav's: "Red Rope," "Drowned"
