Carpenter Brut announce new album ‘Leather Terror’
CARPENTER BRUT have announced a new album!
Titled Leather Terror, the upcoming album from the mysterious French synthwave artist is the follow-up to 2018’s Leather Teeth (the second in his Leather album trilogy) and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Universal Music.
The upcoming album features a host of notable guest appearances including Greg Puciato on Imaginary Fire, Alex Westaway of GUNSHIP on The Widow Maker, Ben Koller of CONVERGE and Jonka of TRIBULATION appear on the sinister title track. In addition, Norwegian band ULVER, and Kathrine Shepard from the band SYLVAINE are also on board as well as Parisian singer PERSHA.
Regarding the album CARPENTER BRUT says, “after spending much of 2018 touring, I had decided to take a long break to compose the new album of the trilogy. The pandemic confirmed that my choice to stay home was the right one. I ended up taking over a year and a half to compose this album. I made a lot of decisions with the time I had that I wouldn’t have had time to make if the pandemic hadn’t happened. I wanted to make the whole thing as massive as possible. There is no guitar on this album. I did everything with synths. Even though I didn’t know exactly how I wanted the album to sound at first, I knew I wanted it to be massive and violent.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the project has released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Imaginary Fire. The new song’s accompanying music video was directed by Dehn Sora and features a guest appearance from vocalist Greg Puciato [THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, KILLER BE KILLED, THE BLACK QUEEN].
