Cowards

was a Parisian band known for their bleak fusion of metallic hardcore, sludge, and blackened aggression. Formed in the early 2010s, they earned a reputation for punishing intensity and uncompromising sound on releases like 'Shooting Blanks and Pills' and 'Hoarder'. Their music embodied pure hostility, channeling despair and urban decay through crushing, cathartic noise.
