Point Mort premiere new album in full on New Noise Mag US

Fascinating multi-genre hardcore project POINT MORT are sharing their new album “Le point de non-retour” in its entirety ahead of its official release this Friday 25 April 2025 via Almost Famous, courtesy of New Noise Magazine. The record meets the demands of several musical styles with an incomparable technical mastery and a sincere and raw interpretation.

POINT MORT's new album ‘Le point de non-retour’ highlights this daring yet masterful combination of genres. Contrasting effects, rhythmic breaks and a range of different vocal techniques underline obscure topics that echo black metal's distinctive attributes. The resulting blackened popcore is straightforward, chaotic and vulnerable. Pop, rock, electro and hip hop are all linked by a bold hardcore energy

“Like our previous album, the musical composition, though complex, remains primal and instinctive. The alternation of gentle and violent passages is always present, but we’ve borrowed freely from other styles such as pop, electro and rap, and explored new sounds and harmonies too. Electronic music features heavily on this album, with long passages featuring synthesizers. Le point de non-retour is an introspective album about the road travelled, defiance, anamorphosis, wear and tear on body and mind. We’re not trying to reassure the reader or give them hope and light. We're just passing through.” comments vocalist Sam Pillay.

‘Le point de non-retour’ was recorded and mixed by Amaury Sauvé at The Apiary studio in Laval, France, and mastered by Thibault Chaumont of Deviant Lab in Saint Benoit, France. ‘Le point de non-retour’ is due out on vinyl, CD, streaming and download on April 25th 2025 via Almost Famous. Watch music videos "Le point de non-retour", "Skinned Teeth" and "The Bent Neck Lady". Check out the making-of the recording sessions: partie 1 et partie 2.

PREORDER

Parisian postcore quintet POINT MORT surprise with their extreme sensibility, delivered in a brutal and instinctive way. In 2017, the band stepped into the Midilive studio near Paris (Vogue Records' legendary former studio) to record the five tracks of their first EP - the tortuous and intricate ‘Look at the Sky’ - in a one-day session mixed by Sylvain Biguet and mastered by Nick Zampiello at Studio New Alliance East (Cambridge, USA). This first studio approach has defined the project’s modus operandi, which will henceforth favour this form of sincerity and urgency.

In 2019, building on this initial experience, POINT MORT release their second EP ‘R(h)ope’ with Amaury Sauvé on production and Thibault Chaumont on mastering. A worldwide pandemic later, the band return to the studio, still under the aegis of the Sauvé/Chaumont duo. Driven once again by the demands of live recording, POINT MORT release their debut album ‘Pointless...’ in April 2022. The album marks the emergence of a fully-fledged personality, one that dares to clash styles and techniques with force and coherence.

Devastating on stage, the five musicians amaze with their sober, uncompromising performances, where emotion finds an unexpected way in between two smashing of teeth. Their unquestionable stage presence has taken them to the prestigious stages of Hellfest (Valley, 2022) and Motocultor (Main Stage, 2017), or on the road to the Cuban clubs during Brutal Fest Tour in 2018.

POINT MORT’s sophomore studio album ‘Le point de non-retour” is set to release on April 25th 2025 via Almost Famous.
