GROS ENFANT MORT - Le Sang Des Pierres CD

RELEASEDATE: 23.01.2026

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.
