THIS IS A PRE ORDER. RELEASE DATE IS MARCH 7th. SHIPPING STARTS EARLY MARCH.
Formed in 2021, MORTUAIRE
are a death metal band hailing from Bordeaux. Comprised of musicians
from well-established bands on the national and international scene -
Year of No Light, Bombardement and The Great Old Ones among them.
After releasing a three-song demo in 2023 under the French label
WORLD EATER RECORDS, the band is now set to unveil their debut
full-length, Monde Vide.
Monde Vide comprises five songs with a total runtime of 36 minutes, fully displaying MORTUAIRE's considerable power and potential. Those quick with math will note similarly extended song-lengths here, just like on the demo, but the quintet's patient-yet-propulsive songwriting make those generous minutes just melt away; MORTUAIRE are nothing if not urgent in their intensity. Still, the world-eating and sometimes-stomping tank-grooves they construct here draw reverent influence from such iconic bands as Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Slayer and Corrupted, with their execution - "locked in yet loose," to put it pithily - really rendering MORTUAIRE a tasteful aspect. Additionally, the subtle infusion of doom makes these mountains of miasmic darkness seem even larger than they already are, particularly the nearly ten-minute title track. The final dusting on an already acidic cake is the production: absolutely pro, absolutely punishing, total DREAD and DEATH in 3D. Prepare to both drown and be crushed by Monde Vide!
