WL//WH Track Of The Day : The Dead Mantra ‘Je Ne Dormirai Jamais / I’ll Never Sleep’

WL//WH Track Of The Day : The Dead Mantra ‘Je Ne Dormirai Jamais / I’ll Never Sleep’

Fabrizio Lusso 13 January 2018 Features, New Music, Shoegaze, WL//WH Track Of The Day

Track Of The Day

 

It’s a world full of spleen, the one explored by the French band, of devastating emotional power.

The Dead Mantra are a French ‘Gregorian shoegaze’ four-piece from Le Mans, that play a mixture of heavy dilatated shoegaze with psychedelic, industrial and post-metal undertones.

“Saudade Forever” is the title of their forthcoming sophomore album due out on February 23 via Cranes Records.

It’s a world full of spleen, the one explored by the French band, of devastating emotional power.

‘Je Ne Dormirai Jamais / I’ll Never Sleep’ is permeated by a deeply dark atmosphere from the first note. As the black velvet, sometimes opaque, sometimes shiny, but always black.

An buildup of layers on layers of saturated distorted guitars welcome the listener, a doleful voice whines, like a Gregorian chant, on a wave of drones and repetitive steady drum patterns, before first exploding in a blinding heart-breaking fury of desperation and grief and slowing down; the tension builds and builds again gathering immense heights, stacking layer upon layer of insanely oppressive sound-noise to create a striking relentless screaming and sonic final catharctic assault on the senses.

Cold, grim, depressed and intricate but also so beatifully addictive.
