Tracklist: 1. Cloué au sol With "Le Sang des Pierres" GROS ENFANT MORT turn exhaustion into defiance. The Poitiers-based band - rooted in French screamo and post-hardcore traditions - craft a record that feels less like catharsis and more like survival. Born from emptiness and collapse, it captures the slow erosion of self under social pressure, isolation, and the absurdity of modern life. Where 2022’s "La Banalité du Mal" dissected everyday cruelty, "Le Sang des Pierres" internalizes it. Depression here isn’t treated as a personal flaw, but as the symptom of a system that alienates and consumes. The band doesn’t seek healing or redemption; they bear witness. Musically, the album hits harder than anything they’ve done before - dense, raw, and relentless. Guitars slash through walls of noise, drums hammer like a trapped heartbeat, while fleeting melodic fragments flicker through the ruins. It’s chaotic, but never directionless - a precise portrait of collapse and resistance intertwined. Yet, amid the heaviness, there’s light: the "smell of rain on dry earth," a fragile reminder that life persists. GROS ENFANT MORT call it a "constructive rage" - not despair, but refusal. A decision to keep moving, even when the ground splits beneath you. "Le Sang des Pierres" isn’t a comfort record. It’s a document of endurance - a howl against resignation, and proof that even at the edge, something within us still insists on surviving.
