On "Bite," Traibal shoots out an uncoiled burst of energy, a stormy, brooding song that wails with the feral winds of indie-rock and the menacing intensity of dark post-punk/industrial sounds. The seven-piece band, which includes Rey (vocals), Rain (guitar), Axia (guitar), India (vocals), Bliss (bass), Amaya (drums), and Lodoss (keys/samples), makes music that's magnetic and alive.
The song, from its grinding guitars to the pulsing bassline, captures the tension between control and chaos. There's a feeling of uprising that oozes through every warped chord and echoing vocal. What stands out about the group can be traced to its delivery, which unfolds with the rapid-fire reach of lightning, urgent, emotional, and arresting.
The guitars thread the needles of textures and tones that are at once brutal yet ethereal, even while the drumming pummels down a storm. "Bite" is a reminder that strength and weakness often occupy the same space. In a music world that can usually feel overproduced, Traibal arrives with the raw electricity of a band that is willing to make noise and mean it.
