Kirkby Kiss's Four Color Black is a breathless, unrelenting dive into the chaotic, cathartic heart of melodic hardcore. From the opening blast of "Safety Dance," the Jersey Shore five-piece transcends genres with precision, leaping from Born Against-style fury to Orchid's emotional turbulence, then shifting effortlessly into more melodic complexityÑall in just the first few songs. The album pulls unexpected punches like the howling violin riffs by Ben Karas (SlaughterSun/Thank You Scientist) on "Come Out and Play". The band tears through 11 songs recorded at Frost Gauntlet Studio in Lyndhurst, NJ, with Karas behind the board and guest spots from Jeff "JJ" Janiak of Discharge, Andrew Moreski of Hard 2 Kill, Matthew Messina of Medicinal, JP Parsons of False Fed and more. The collaborative writing style of vocalist Natale Amato, drummer Frank Burdynski, bassist Thomas McGreevy, and guitarists Michael Ramirez and Michael Shepherd, allowed each member's voice and influences to shape the music, resulting in a sound that feels intensely intimate yet universally resonant.
