Description

Let it be clear : few bands have mastered the art of communicating and releasing tension as well as Lorient, France s DEATH ENGINE. Delivered with an effortless austerity, their suffocating brand of noise rock-infused hardcore is unarguably of the most unmerciful sort. Now back to the three-piece that recorded their groundbreaking debut EP Amen (2013), the french band returns with Place Noire , their second full-length.

Recorded live then mixed in Laval by Amaury Sauvé (Birds In Row, Plebeian Grandstand, Necrodancer) and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén (Breach, Terra Tenebrosa, Crippled Black Phoenix), this record is a natural progression in the band s body of work, full of hypnotic patterns, earth-shaking breaks, menacing bass tones and guitars that swing between desperate, angst-driven riffing & feedback assaults. Then the more emotional, expressive vocal approach and the clean-cut songwriting make of Place Noire the band s most memorable work while being more abrasive than ever. Blast it at unreasonable volume and feel your body consuming itself from the inside.
