Today, French death metallers Mortuaire stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album, Monde Vide, at the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Set for international release on March 7th via World Eater Records, hear Mortuaire‘s Monde Vide in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Formed in 2021, Mortuaire are a death metal band hailing from Bordeaux. Comprised of musicians from well-established bands on the national and international scene – Year of No Light, Bombardement, The Great Old Ones, Monarch! and Faucheuse among them – Mortuaire deliver a powerful and visceral sound. After releasing a three-song demo in 2023 under the French label World Eater Records, the band is now set to unveil their debut full-length, Monde Vide.
An extension and intensification of that no-less-stout demo, Monde Vide comprises five songs with a total runtime of 36 minutes, fully displaying Mortuaire‘s considerable power and potential. Those quick with math will note similarly extended song-lengths here, just like on the demo, but the quintet’s patient-yet-propulsive songwriting make those generous minutes just melt away; Mortuaire are nothing if not urgent in their intensity. Still, the world-eating and sometimes-stomping tank-grooves they construct here draw reverent influence from such iconic bands as Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Finland’s Demigod, and Corrupted with their execution – “locked in yet loose,” to put it pithily – really rendering Mortuaire a tasteful aspect. Additionally, the subtle infusion of doom makes these mountains of miasmic darkness seem even larger than they already are, particularly the nearly ten-minute title track. The final dusting on an already acidic cake is the production: absolutely pro, absolutely punishing, total DREAD and DEATH in 3D. Prepare to both drown and be crushed by Monde Vide!
