MOURIR – disgrace – VINYL LP (solid red)

arely two years after their debut release « Animal Bouffe Animal », Toulouse, France’s MOURIR return with « Disgrâce », a modern black metal tour-de-force. This time written as a full band, this second full-length was recorded live and mixed by Amaury Sauvé at The Apiary Studio and mastered by Thibault Chaumont (Plebeian Grandstand, Birds In Row, The Phantom Carriage…).
Album opener « La Pluie, Le Torrent, La Boue, Le Vent, La Lave » immediately sets the tone, drowning the listener into crawling guitars and repulsive gargles before gradually growing to a majestic climax – paving the way for a galore of alienating, hypnotic riffs and hair-raising vocals ranging from commanding growls to skinned-alive screams. From the slow-burning groove of « De Pisse Et D’Orgueil » to the full-frontal assault of « Bâtards Égarés », « Disgrâce » shows a band that has mastered their own realm, strengthening their vision of black metal by maxing out every bit of their sound.
