MÜTTERLEIN disclose new album and first single

MÜTTERLEIN, the solo-project of composer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist Marion Leclercq (ex-OVERMARS), proudly presents the highly anticipated successor to 2021’s acclaimed “Bring Down The Flags“. The evocatively titled “Amidst the Flames, May Our Organs Resound“, opens new dimensions where harrowing vocals, disconcerting post-Metal guitars and gloom-ridden synth meet the pounding kick of basement techno and hammering tom-heavy drum patterns.

Tracklist:
01. Anarcha
02. Concrete Black
03. Wounded Grace
04. Memorial One
05. Division of Pain
06. Ivory Claws
07. Memorial Two

All music is written and performed by MÜTTERLEIN, except ‘Memorial One‘ and ‘Memorial Two‘ crafted in cooperation with TREHA SEKTORI. The album was recorded at Diskar Loar in 2024, and mixed and mastered by Tim De Gieter (AMENRA, THROANE) at Much Luv Studio.

Tense and fraught with emotional resonance, “Amidst the Flames, May Our Organs Resound” lyrically explores the deep and haunting scars etched by oppression across history. Through seven meticulously crafted compositions the album weaves abrasive, darkly cinematic and profoundly haunting Industrial soundscapes.

Taking the layered electronics, cavernous sound-design and magnetic rhythms of 2021’s “Bring Down the Flags” to a logical conclusion,”Amidst the Flames…” is anchored by an abrasive and darkly cinematic Industrial aesthetic – contrasting brutality and catharsis in a flickering, spellbinding and unsettling trip into hyper-conscious rage.

In the words of MÜTTERLEIN:
“‘Amidst the Flames, May Our Organs Resound’ is a musical tribute, a memorial work that explores the deep wounds left by oppression throughout history. This album is an ode to all those who have suffered in silence, especially women, whose bodies have been instrumentalised and sacrificed, like Anarcha Westcott, a tragic and emblematic figure in the history of modern gynaecology. My music is drawn to the silent world – those stories, lives, and sufferings that history ignores or erases. Anarcha Westcott was one of many victims of the oppression and slavery that built the foundations of Western progress. Her story is not an exception but a reflection of a larger system that thrives on the suffering of the most vulnerable. And too often, women bear the deepest scars. Especially now, when the world seems to be slipping back into obscurantism and violence, it feels almost absurd to talk about these things. It’s as if we’re stuck in a loop, questioning whether we’ve ever really moved forward at all. When personal pain meets collective history, the weight of silence is suffocating. I don’t pretend that music can change anything. But sometimes, making noise feels like the only thing left to do.”

The album’s first single, “Concrete Black“, serves as a powerfully dark introduction, seamlessly blending haunting melodies with relentless intensity. MÜTTERLEIN‘s infernal screams pierce through layers of industrial decay and ritualistic dread, leaving an eerie and indelible impression.

MÜTTERLEIN describes ‘Concrete Black‘:
“‘Concrete Black’ is the first song I am sharing because it embodies the feeling that runs through the album. The lyrics express a sense of ongoing struggle: despite creating, despite trying to make sense of things, there’s this constant feeling of estrangement with the world around me. We seem to disappoint each other endlessly. The image of being ‘hollowed in concrete black’ reflects a sense of being trapped in this disconnect, unable to escape it, while the world burns on. It’s not the first track on the album, but I thought it was important to release it first because it captures the essence of the album – a confrontation with a world that feels distant and chaotic. May our organs resound amidst this tension, reminding us of the humanity we share in the face of it all.”
