Returning to the fold with their unique brand of metal, pop-core and post-hardcore, Parisian quintet Point Mort are an anomalous force to behold.

This month sees the official worldwide release of Le point de non-retour, a new chapter following an impressive clutch of acclaimed EPs and their 2022 debut/tour de force, Pointless.

Crafting a raw and energetic universe of sounds from the blackened stardust of pop, rock, electro and hip hop, the band harness a daring yet masterful combination of styles. Rhythms, riffs and lyrics – the latter of which cover obscure topics while bathing in black metal influence – showcase a sharp and vulnerable approach to post-hardcore. While contrasting effects, breaks and vocals keep audiences guessing, the album marks the emergence of a fully-fledged and singular personality. A personality that dares to be different. As best exemplified on their latest single, ‘The Bent Neck Lady’, where an immense river cascades and sweeps you up in riffs. At times shimmering like Brutus or roaring like Deafheaven, while at the same time remaining blisteringly original.

Having made memorable appearances in recent years at Hellfest and Motocultor festivals in France, as well as Brutal Fest Tour in Cuba, the band also take to the road next month in support of their new album for a French tour. As is customary, all five musicians will revel in the devastation of playing live and promise uncompromising sets and emotional performances befitting Le Point De Non-Retour’s brutal majesty.

Recorded and mixed by Amaury Sauve at The Apiary Studio in Laval, France, and mastered by Thibault Chaumont of Deviant Lab in Saint Benoit, Le point de non-retour is released worldwide via Almost Famous on 25th April 2025 and can be pre-ordered here.
