CERBÈRE / MALEMORT - Aimless / Glace Mère

Heartbreak, gravity, and dull vibrations—it’s this quest that brings together the approaches of Cerbère and Malemort. Since the meeting between the musicians of La Harelle collective (which also includes Sordide, Mòr, Void Paradigm and Iffernet) and those of Cerbère (also involved in Frank Sabbath, Ragequit and Hallebardier), the two trios have chosen to share their first vinyl, ‘Aimless / Glace Mère’.

The collaboration marks the return of Malemort’s dissonant impassivity and a new incarnation of Cerbère’s grimy, bitter power. It has two facets: “Aimless” stretches like an 18-minute vision of a chaotic future, to which Cerbère responds with “Glace Mère,” transporting us for 16 minutes into the coldest and most acidic of landscapes. Two complementary ways of arranging low frequencies and dissonances, which unite in a bitter but dignified response to the violence of the present.

For the release of this first vinyl, the two groups have chosen to join forces with several labels from the underground and DIY scene, in which they have been playing for many years: Rope or Guillotine (Nijmegen, Netherlands); Arsenic Solaris (Lyon, France); Chien Noir (Paris, France); La Harelle (Rouen, France).

Limited to 300 copies on clear vinyl.
