POINT MORT to introduce you to “The Bent Neck Lady”!

France’s postcore quintet POINT MORT to unleash mind-blowing new excerpt off their upcoming album. Get to know “The Bent Neck Lady”.

Hardcore multi-genre outfit POINT MORT deliver a dark gripping new single and visualiser in advance to the release of their new album ‘Le point de non-retour’ – out on April 25th 2025 via Almost Famous. Both poetic and powerful, “The Bent Neck Lady” is an emotional song powered by overwhelming guttural and clear vocals.

Paris-based postcore unit POINT MORT unveil a sensitive universe made up of rock, electro and even hip hop, all linked by a direct, raw, hardcore energy. Lyrics, rhythm and riffage are straightforward and showcase a sharp vulnerability. The resulting popcore metal is bold and wild. “The Bent Lady” who stands on the album cover has so much to say… Hear her complain written by Sam Pillay and Guillaume Kootôh. Motion design by Olivier Guedj.

Front woman Sam Pillay explains: “The Bent Neck Lady is one of the climaxes of the album. I wanted to hear it again in a different way. That’s how the almost a cappella intro came about, backed by electro strings. It’s one of those tracks that was really intense to record. Some of us were overwhelmed with emotion. The lyrics are also very personal. And they’re the source of all the imagery on the record. For this third track, we needed a video clip that would stand out, that would be a real statement. The Bent Neck Lady is embodied in the form of a story, set alongside the lyrics of the song and read to the rhythm of the track. We’ve chosen to let our listeners’ imaginations work, so that everyone can experience the song in their own way and make it their own.”

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. It 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” and “Skinned Teeth”. Check out the making-of the recording sessions: part 1 and part 2 (English subtitles available).

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.
