Get ready to dive into a sea of powerful riffs and sharp lyrics! SPLIT BRAIN unveils their new album, «Écrasés par notre Héritage», a bold fusion of thrash and death metal, where each track hits like a raw truth—delivered in French. This unique choice amplifies their sound with a depth and emotion that anchors their music in both a lyrical and cultural context.
This new release, recorded at Studio 180 under the guidance of Arnaud Bascuñana, is the product of meticulous work where each live and analog take captures the raw and spontaneous essence of SPLIT BRAIN. That vibrant texture is felt in every song, speaking to us directly—brutally yet sensitively.
Themes that strike and resonate
At the heart of this album are themes as powerful as they are universal: anger, responsibility, and decline. From the very first track, «Il paraît qu’on a déjà tout dit», SPLIT BRAIN raises the question of artistic innovation in a world overloaded with words. Yet, throughout the album, the band shows that there are important, essential things left unheard.
The single «De la Colère à la Haine», released on September 27, explores the intensity of an emotion as it transforms and intensifies, while «Acteurs de notre Déchéance» questions our role in our own lives: are we actors or mere spectators? Rémi, the band’s singer and lyricist, leads us through these reflections, offering lyrics that provoke deep thought. «Et alors on s’élèvera…», another powerful track on the album, takes us into a wave of melancholy and transcendence, a quest for redemption in a disillusioned world.
A sonic heritage: melody and brutality fused in analog
The album closes on a high note with «Jusqu’à se consumer», a final track that symbolizes the inescapable nature of our passage through this world. Each note, each riff, reminds us of the fleeting nature of it all. The eponymous track, «Écrasés par notre Héritage», is both an homage and a question about the marks we leave behind—a lucid, painful look at what we pass on to future generations.
With this new album, SPLIT BRAIN delivers metal that is not only innovative but meaningful, where rage meets reflection, and each track is a call to open our eyes.
