That\u00a0UNTITLED WITH DRUMS<\/strong>\u00a0didn\u2019t throw in the towel during the COVID era is nothing short of a miracle. While their debut album,\u00a0Hollow<\/strong><\/em>, had the misfortune of being released just days before the lockdown was declared in France in March 2020, the praise from the specialized media allowed it to soar above the fray. This propelled this heir to\u00a0Failure, Quicksand<\/strong>, and\u00a0Cave In<\/strong>\u00a0to the stages of\u00a0Hellfest 2022<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Nuits de Fourvi\u00e8re<\/strong>\u00a0festival, opening for the legendary\u00a0Deftones<\/strong>, as well as\u00a0London\u2019s Desertfest<\/strong>. This was enough to build confidence, gather strength, and prepare the ground for a worthy successor to their first album, as well as to the\u00a0symbols<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0EP released at the end of 2025. This was merely an appetizer before\u00a0Made Flesh<\/strong><\/em>, their sophomore album, through which the Clermont-Ferrand-based band pushes their hybrid of alt rock and 90s post-hardcore to new heights.<\/p>\n Recorded and mixed under the guidance of\u00a0Cyrille Gachet (Fange, Year Of No Light, The Great Old Ones\u2026)<\/strong>\u00a0and then mastered by Alan Douches\u00a0(Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Converge\u2026)<\/strong>,\u00a0Made Flesh<\/em>\u00a0grew out of a long and intense period of songwriting, fraught with self-doubt and soul-searching. But above all, it testifies to a compositional intent focused on efficiency and a better showcasing of everything that constitutes the band\u2019s sonic DNA. Only one single guiding principle here: ensuring that these 10 new tracks resonate personally. This is Untitled With Drums as its members want you to hear them \u2014 not as you might expect. Far from being weakened by their reformation as a quartet, it is precisely their unbreakable bonds forged more than a decade ago that constitute their strength, more alive with symbiosis than ever.<\/p>\n While the power of\u00a0Lucas D<\/strong>.\u2019s riffs is heightened, the ethereal soundscapes he weaves are even more expanded. They blend seamlessly with\u00a0Nicolas Z.<\/strong>\u2018s synthesizers, now more prominent than ever.\u00a0R\u00e9my D.<\/strong>\u2018s drumming provides the songs\u2019 backbone, delivering grooves with assertive nuances without neglecting more intricate patterns. This array of strengths wouldn\u2019t be complete without bassist\u00a0Martin L.B.<\/strong>.\u2019s vocals, never failing to deliver an infectious emotional intensity. This energy serves\u00a0Made Flesh<\/em>\u2018s thematic focus: a satirical outlook on our times delivered from a multitude of perspectives, like donning and dropping one mask after another.<\/p>\n With this sophomore album,\u00a0UNTITLED WITH DRUMS<\/strong>\u00a0establish themselves as the beacon of a French rock scene struggling to take risks, too often settling for crude heaviness. Theirs cuts deeper \u2014 straight to the flesh.<\/p>\n Line-up:<\/strong> Lucas D. \u2014 Guitar<\/p>\n Nicolas Z. \u2014 Keyboards<\/p>\n R\u00e9my D. \u2014 Drums<\/p>\n Additional Recording Line-up: Recording Studio:<\/p>\n Halle du Jeu de Paume (Vic-le-Comte, France).<\/p>\n Production Credits:<\/p>\n Produced and Mixed by Cyrille Gachet.<\/p>\n Mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music.<\/p>\n Cover Art:<\/p>\n Martin Le Borgne<\/p>\n Biography:<\/strong> Photos:<\/strong> Follow Untitled With Drums:<\/strong><\/p>\n Linktree:\u00a0https:\/\/linktr.ee\/uwd666<\/a><\/p>\n Bandcamp:\u00a0https:\/\/untitledwithdrums.
