Skemer

Benevolence

Skemer is a co-operation between singer Kim Peers and guitarist Mathieu Vandekerckhove of post-metal band Amenra. Two very different worlds collide and lead to minimalist dark wave deconstructions that are equal brutal and erotic.

Recorded just a few months after meeting, a sense of urgency shines through in the tracks that build 'Benevolence'. Just like their live performances where Peers seductive vocals coalesce with Vandekerckhove's austere beats to melt into a transcendent fury.
