“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. This follow-up to their 2013 EP «Amen» was recorded by Amaury Sauvé at La Senelle, Laval (Birds In Row, As We Draw, Plebeian Grandstand) then mastered by Sylvain Biguet, while the artwork was designed by Hugues Pzzl. «Mud» is due out on March 2nd on 180 gram 12″ vinyl, CD and tape – the band will then tour Europe.
“Following the release of their abrasive debut EP «Amen», DEATH ENGINE made a brutal entrance in 2013 with a couple of European tours – 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 «Mud», which was once again recorded by Amaury Sauvé at La Senelle and mastered by Sylvain Biguet.
Behind their ascetic, less-is-more work ethic, DEATH ENGINE’s sound remains evasive – 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. «Mud» features seven new tracks that deliver the coup de grâce, exploring new fields while still pushing the band’s trademark visceral tension to unreachable highs.”
