“Mud”, the debut full-length by French dark hardcore/noise outfit DEATH ENGINE, is now up for full streaming, pre-order and free download at Throatruiner Records and Apocaplexy Records.ย This follow-up to their 2013 EP ยซAmenยปย was recorded by Amaury Sauvรฉ at La Senelle, Lavalย (Birds In Row, As We Draw,ย Plebeian Grandstand) then mastered by Sylvain Biguet, while the artwork was designedย by Hugues Pzzl. ยซMudยป is due out on March 2ndย on 180 gram 12″ vinyl, CD and tape – the band will then tour Europe.
“Following the release of their abrasive debut EP ยซAmenยป,ย DEATH ENGINEย made a brutal entrance in 2013 with a couple of Europeanย tours โ a string of infernal outbreaks that have little in common with your average live show. The now four-piece from Lorient, France spent most of 2014 working on their debut album ยซMudยป, which was once again recorded by Amaury Sauvรฉ at La Senelle and mastered by Sylvain Biguet.
Behind their ascetic, less-is-more work ethic, DEATH ENGINE’s sound remains evasive โ oscillating between dark, desperate noise rock and metallic downpours of petrifying violence, bleak shoegazing guitar work and gigantic industrial dirges, cathartic climaxes and merciless tribal-ritual rhythms that could last forever. ยซMudยป features seven new tracks that deliver the coup de grรขce, exploring new fields while still pushing the bandโs trademark visceral tension to unreachable highs.”
