Math-core is one of those genres that - when done right - it can cut right to the bone.

The problem is, though, that so many math-core groups just fail to connect, losing themselves in pretension, and overly developed ideas.

Japanese cult heroes LITE make sure that each blow counts. Known for their explosive live shows, the band's jagged yet infectious rhythms contribute to their deeply physical feel.

Gradually gaining international recognition, LITE's new album 'Cubic' will be released this Friday (November 16th) through Topshelf Records.

With 14 years experience under their belt LITE's interplay is nigh-on telepathic, with the group navigating incredible swoops and curves with remarkable confidence.

Clash has first play - tune in now.
