Rock Hard 8.5/10: "Und doch stehen am Ende stets knochentrocken groovende, dunkel glitzernde Rocksongs mit Pop-Appeal, gekrönt von Love Anderssons charismatischer Stimme. … eine feine Ergänzung im Katalog dieser herausragenden Band."
Musikreviews.de 13/15: "Haben sich PORT NOIR ohne den bewussten oder unbewussten Druck befreit, bei einem quasi-Major unter Vertrag zu stehen? Fest steht jedenfalls, dass "Cuts" ihr bisher am leichtesten zugänglichstes Werk und jedem Freund von Death From Above 1979, neueren Muse oder Arctic Monkeys (mit ganz dicken Klöten) zu empfehlen ist."
Legacy 11/15: "Geblieben ist ein Eklektizismus an verwendeten Genres und musikalischen Ausdrucksmitteln und der Mut, mit Scheuklappen ausgerüsteten Menschen vor den bornierten Kopf zu treten. …PORT NOIR sind in einer Weise progressiv, wie es Muse sind. Die drei Musiker verzichten auf „Cuts“ auf musikalische Selbstbeweihräucherungen…. Handwerklich sind hier Vollprofis am Werk."
SLAM: "PORT NOIR standen und stehen für eklektische Soundwelten, die sicher nichts für jedermann sind, deren Anspruch und künstlerische Tiefe aber unbestritten ist."
Port Noir is one of those rare bands that, try as you might, are impossible to fit into a neat box. The band blends the electro/rock influences of Enter Shikari with direct pop suss of recent Royal Blood, into a sound that is both unique and refreshing.
Port Noir will release their first single 'All Class' via Despotz Records, December 3rd.
"It feels vibrantly new, it sounds reassuringly detailed and it carries an effusive punch which simply can’t be ignored." // The Progressive Aspect
"Port Noir’s New Routine sets up a particularly promising future." // Heavy Blog is Heavy
"While Port Noir draw strongly from their influences, the band’s retrospective style and use of technology to produce an entertaining listening experience means that ‘The New Routine’ is a solid album with few flaws to pick on. Rating 8/10" // Dead Press!
As we move into 2022, Sweden’s ground-breaking rock act Port Noir are primed and ready to return with their brand-new album. A release that brings together elements of their past, in both style and sound, but given a fresh impetus by the band’s approach to the song writing and recording process. Embracing the energy and passion of their live performances and capturing that in the recording process was paramount in the band’s mind. Digging deeper into the essence of the songs this time out, Port Noir chose to ditch standard studio aids such as click tracks and allow the songs the ebb and flow that their live shows embrace, creating a collection of songs that capture the beating heart of Port Noir. Slightly darker in feel but still very much Port Noir, the new album 'Cuts' bristles with energy, intensity and musical depth, ensuring it will be an album that’s impact will be felt immediately. The band released the first single 'All Class' Dec 3rd, the second single 'Sweet & Salt' will be released February 11th and will be followed up with 'Deep Waters' March 4th before the major album release March 25th. All singles will be released with music videos.
Port Noir about the third single 'Deep Waters';
"Deep Waters was the first song we wrote for 'Cuts' and it colored the whole album in a lot of ways. It has a dark and almost evil vibe to it due to the black metal inspired guitar theme throughout the song. If you like it dark, emotional and energetic with a lot of bass distortion this is for you."- Port Noir
Port Noir is one of those rare bands that, try as you might, are impossible to fit into a neat box. Mixing edgy, contemporary dark pop, R&B, and rock into a sound that is both unique and refreshing. Hailing from Sweden, the band have released three critically acclaimed albums (the brand-new album is imminent) and toured extensively, including support shows with the likes of Karnivool, Leprous, Kaiser Chiefs, In Flames, Vola, Pain of Salvation, as well as prestigious festival appearances including Eurosonic ESNS.
The band’s previous album (‘The New Routine’) saw a significant increase in listeners/streams, pushing the band’s support of over 7 million streams, as well as garnering fantastic support across the press and radio. They have been reviewed by Distorted Sound Magazine, Lounder Sound, Gaffa, Metal.de,Everything is Noise, Time For Metal, World of Metal to name a few. Like everyone else, everything came to grinding halt with Covid for the band, but, undeterred, they utilized their down time and began working on new songs and new ideas, all which culminated in some of the band’s most diverse, eclectic, and powerful new material to date. As you’ll witness when the new album arrives in 2022.
