L'APPEL DU VIDE - Metro - LP

Description

Vocalist René laments into his own heart without airs and graces, without pointing fingers and immune to any zeitgeist hype. The guitar saws, jangles and shrieks with hunger and yet is full. The rhythm section growls and rattles and bangs its way straight into the abyss, from which analog synths also emerge here and there for a quick breath of air. You can actually hear the instruments breathing, the sound is so honest. Guitarist Flatty recorded the band at Studio Gloom in Chemnitz in early 2023. But it's not just Saxony and the all too often invoked, musty roots of those who have been left behind. There's Detroit, Frisco and Los Angeles. Manchester, New York and Portland. And just as Poison Idea's "Feel the Darkness" (to use a reminiscence) begins, "Metro" ends after 37 minutes of playing time - with naked piano. In between: a kinship in force and attitude, only without metal and posturing. Just power and void. And in the saddlebag an old photo of the sea, grainy, black and white and yet reflecting all colors.

"Metro" was recorded in 2023 at Studio Gloom, Chemnitz, by Flatty. The mix was done by Roland Wiegner at the Tonmeisterei Oldenburg. Mastering was done by Daniel Husayn at NLBF. The cover design was created by Katja Hommel. The album will be released digitally and as a vinyl LP on March 29, 2023 by It's Eleven Records and Sabotage Records"
