about

Reformat return this year with new album ‘Precursed', a darker and more direct follow-up to their acclaimed debut. The music was created in an attempt to resist the pull of nihilism, resulting in a sound that reflects moments of jubilant beauty caught between creeping anger and grief.

Though fuelled by loss, Precursed also offers moments of light, providing both soundtrack and antidote to despair and abandonment. Through embracing the negative—and there’s been a lot of it—the band takes a bold step towards a more meaningful existence.

For fans of Genghis Tron, 65daysofstatic, pg.lost, and Three Trapped Tigers.

--

“A torrent of sound and energy that barely lets up... an exhilarating journey through the cities of the mind.”

- Prog

"A heavy yet melodic mix of electronics and alt-rock from Reformat doesn't skimp on the hooks or atmosphere."

- Bandcamp

"A kaleidoscopic journey into a world of colour and imagination, it’s a trip you’ll want to take time and again... an unexpected highlight of my musical year."

- Sonic Abuse

"The album strikes a, dare we say, perfect balance between happiness, sadness, anger and guilt. It manages to remain remorselessly positive in the face of the world at large, whilst calling attention to the darkness that we all have to deal with."

- Noizze

"Reformat‘s second album Precursed is a thrilling blend of experimental music inspired by their shared love of heavy metal, electronica, vintage pop and science fiction."

- God Is In The TV

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding. Darknight
