Album Notes & Community Reviews

Savage Republic emerged from the Los Angeles underground with a terrifyingly unique, intensely tribal interpretation of post-punk. Utilizing custom-built metal percussion and heavily droning, Middle Eastern-flavored guitar noise, 'Tragic Figures' constructs a deeply dark, incredibly rhythmic, and fiercely apocalyptic soundscape that bridges industrial harshness with avant-garde experimentation.
