Carpenter Brut - Brings you, his version of Jack the Ripper!!!

French SynthWave icon Carpenter Brut has announced his brand new album 'Leather Terror', whch is out on April 1st via Universal Music and available to pre-order now by clicking Here. Marking the announcement Carpenter Brut has released the colossal SynthRock anthem ‘Imaginary Fire’ featuring vocalist Greg Puciato (The Dillinger escape Plan, Killer be Killed, The Black Queen). The accompanying: Video has been directed by Dehn Sora and captures an eerily beautiful apocalypse during a psychedelic trip.

'Leather Terror' is the second in Carpenter Brut’s 'Leather' album trilogy, the next chapter following his widely acclaimed 2018 album 'Leather Teeth'. The album featured in numerous best album lists across the board of Rock, Alternative and Electronic Music that year. The albums form the soundtrack of an imagined movie from 1987. The previous record introduced the story of Bret Halford, an introverted science student. He liked a girl who didn’t like him and much preferred the team’s star quarterback.

Bret got mad and tried to create a concoction that would allow him to control them all, but ends up disfigured and decides instead to become a rock star. This is how he will seduce the girl, and all other girls by becoming 'Leather Teeth' singer of 'Leather Patrol'. Now 'Leather Terror' finds Bret Halford as a true Rockstar and a ruthless avenger. 'Leather Teeth' inflicts vengeance on those who stand between him and what he desires. While 'Leather Teeth' was in parts a celebratory take on ‘80s glam rock, in his new opus Carpenter Brut across the space of twelve tracks gets more malevolent. Documenting the rise of his protagonist as a serial killer, who wants to take revenge on all those who mistreated him when he was younger.

Massive and violent, yes. But inviting so much, so that 'Leather Terror' features a significant number of guests. In addition to the aforementioned Greg Puciato on new single ‘Imaginary Fire’, Alex Westaway of Gunship gives voices on the pummelling Synth-Pop of ‘The Widow Maker’ ("a rather particular hybrid timbre"), Ben Koller of Converge and Jonka of Tribulation appear on the sinister title track which closes the story. The Norwegian band Ulver and Kathrine Shepard from the band Sylvaine are also on board as well as Persha, a Parisian singer who directly contacted Carpenter Brut to initiate a collaboration. 'Leather Terror' reflects both a serial killer, and an artist, in their prime; bold and daring while full of shock and awe, creating a true spectacle out of great darkness with a flamboyant disregard for rules.
