Mort Fatale<\/p>\n

(This review was written by Stevo)<\/p>\n

Hailing from Bordeaux, France comes a new death metal band in Mortuaire<\/a>. The band consists of members from established acts in the French metal scene such as Year of No Light<\/strong>, The Great Old Ones<\/strong> and Monarch<\/strong>. Formed in 2021, their first taste came in the form of EP I<\/em> <\/a>in 2022. This displays their stab on the death metal sound in their first language taking inspiration from the likes of Autopsy<\/strong>, Entombed<\/strong>, Nihilist<\/strong> and Bolt Thrower<\/strong>. Now following on from the EP 3 years later comes their debut album, Monde Vide<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Monde Vide opens the record with Mauvais pr\u00e9sage which demonstrates how tight the band can be with the way they can transition their pace smoothly. I like the way they switch around between a groovy passage to a fast machine-gun paced artillery of rage. The way they transition smoothly delivers fresh variety in their tracks throughout this album, especially as all the tracks are over 5 minutes long. There\u2019s also the fresh inclusion of doom that fits the crushing atmosphere when you hear Mortuaire. “Pyramide d\u2019or” shows off the punkier aspect to the sound in the similar vein to Bolt Thrower<\/strong> that ends in a sludgy doom-esque crescendo.<\/p>\n

The vocals in this band display a good mix of harsh delivery throughout plus the occasional howls that doesn\u2019t feel out of left field. Throughout this album, the band delivers a consuming atmosphere of despair while still changing things about whether it\u2019s the groovy guitar riffs, the fast-paced drumming or the sense of rage in their vocals.<\/p>\n
