Sortilegia

'Sortilegia'? A scorching soundtrack to the Apocalypse. La Muerte returns to battle with an even more intense, massive and cohesive burner than their 2018 self-titled album. Once, in response to a journalistic question, Dee-J and Marc du Marais called their work "morbid surrealism," which defined their intentions better than any other label. But if you really have to categorize, why not: "Borderline Rock": always pushing the blade a bit deeper, and keeping it sharp. In the band's cauldron, a decapitating mixture of psychedelic, metallic and noisy sounds still simmering. La Muerte has lost none of its raw and fierce radicalism. Choose the vinyl edition !For its cover, by the French artist Fabrice Lavollay with a terrific front and a very... sharp back. And because each side has its strong coherence.

Four years after their unanimously acclaimed self-titled album, La Muerte continues to push their boundaries with 'Sortilegia', a brand new album released for the first time on Consouling Sounds. The album will also be released simultaneously in the US by COP International on CD, who released the 'Headhunter' album. 'Sortilegia' is probably their heaviest and darkest work to date. Throughout their career and until today, the band doesn't resemble anything else but themselves, so it's still impossible to classify them in a specific genre. The musical color of the project has of course evolved because of the new members' background, but not in a radical way, and we find on this new record a good part of what makes its unique and unclassifiable character.
