The debut album from this Belgian act, who have been blending classic Neofolk with Industrial electronics since 2018. La Merde combines fact and fiction in an anachronistic collage of the past into a contemporary creation of sound and image. They are storytellers in an abstract sense, conjuring an aural vision, both real and imagined, of our past, present, and future. By wielding a DIY ethos and using a wide range of instruments, they've created a sound that is both formed from soil yet otherworldly. With tragedy and misery as the guiding principle, LA MERDE guide you through the eternal collapse of the world.

"La Vie en Noir" lays bare a sumptuous soundscape that spans autumnal splendor and simmering tension, bitter repose and stifled violence. Each of the dozen songs offers its own unique snapshot, threaded together with unified purpose and poignant dynamics. La Merde begin their Thelemic march with La Vie en Noir - love under will, and love is the law!
