A little over 2 years since the release of their impressive EP “Coffin Cutters” (see our feature HERE and grab it via French label Eastrain Records, IFB (US), Dingleberry records and distribution(Germany), 59SRS (Russia), Rakkerpak Records(Denmark), Mosh Potatoes (Belgiium), Rubaiyat Records (UK), Rip Roaring Shit Storm Records (UK) and Italian labels Icore Produzioni, Cheap Talks, Insonnia Lunare Records and Longrail Records.), French dark, screamy and chaotic hardcore band BARQUE are back with a new record “Pyre Builders”, and we’re stoked to give you their new tune and music video called “Kirke”!
Recorded by Nico Ote Rama @ BBK studio, and mixed and mastered by R3myBoy, the new offering features an eerie artwork by Djavanshir Nico and is structured on the same diptych pattern, just like their previous record. It will be released on 12″ vinyl in early 2019 and so far 3 labels are involved: 5 feet under (DK) Rip Roaring Shitstorm (UK) and Eastrain rec (FR). More will be confirmed soon!
Here’s what the band had to say about the the new track “Kirke”:
The track is entitled “Kirke” it deals with the destruction done in the name of religion. Originally it was called “Church” but at the time we were writing that song the Danish band Eglise (it also means church in French) decided to call it quits so we used the Danish term “Kirke” as a kind of tribute.
Kirke lyrics:
Fierce wrath upon you all
Devouring flames and tar reeking fumes
Burn this down
Blood stained halls
everything you own
we will set on fire.
Burning it to the ground
Burning it down
This will cave in
Vanishing in the red skies
This will cave in
Ancient beliefs and despised icons.
Blazing altar
Ancient beliefs and despised icons.
Cursed , my own victory
Bursting
Thrown torches on priceless robes
BARQUE live shows:
November 16 : Dunkerque ( 4 ecluses) with Celeste & Sylvaine
December 8 : Paris (espace B) with Cortez and Anna Sage
