GRIIIM

GRIIIM sets release date for new PURITY THROUGH FIRE album, reveals first video – features K.F.R mainman

Today, Purity ThroughFire sets September 30th as the international release date for Griiim‘s highly anticipated second album, Bête immonde, on digipack CD limited to 200 copies.

This new Griiim opus has been recorded in MMXX, the year of chaos, by Maxime Taccardi (all instruments, artwork, and vocals) and mixed & mastered by Déhà at the Opus Magnum Studio, who took care of Taccardi’s other project K.F.R with their newest album, Nihilist.

Bête Immonde is a direct follow-up to Pope Art, Griiim‘s challenging debut album for Purity ThroughFire last year, but more coherent and with a better production. Still as dark as it can be, Griiim is the sum of Maxime Taccardi’s influences, going from all the music genres he came across: black metal, rap, electro, noise, world music, avant-garde, experimental, etc. No boundaries, and first and foremost, NO FUCKS GIVEN!

In the meantime, see the haunting new video for “Nymphe décharnée” here:

K.F.R mainman reveals GRIIIM: sets release date for PURITY THROUGH FIRE debut, special video featuring MÜTIILATION’S Meyhna’ch

Today, Purity Through Fire sets October 31st as the international release date for Griiim‘s shocking debut album, Pope Art, on limited digipack CD + DVD set.

Although a seemingly new name, Griiim is another horrifying manifestation of multi-discipline artist Maxime Taccardi, musically known for his polarizing work in K.F.R. Here with Griiim, he presents a different but equally nightmarish face, one that stares back at you with eerily hateful tension, a reflection of the face staring at him.

A staggeringly dense and sprawling work, Pope Art is as much about sensation – diseased, decaying, but utterly “new” its oldness – as it is about music. As such, Griiim is born from the urban decay of society, a musical nightmare taking influences from the most depraved black metal to the darkest corners of industrial, electro, ambient, and rotten hip-hop. With Maxime Taccardi’s characteristically challenging touch, Griiim is meant to be the sonic equivalent of the filthy streets and asphalt areas of his native Paris, France. Composed and recorded by entirely by Taccardi, Pope Art is crucially completed by a visual BAD TRIP divided into 12 parts, which he likewise directed, filmed and edited entirely himself. Just like the album’s musical component, it’s meant to be watched in the dark at maximum volume…

It is very unlikely, if not impossible, you will hear nor especially see an album like Griiim‘s Pope Art this year, or next, or the year after or… Guest performances by Mütiilation’s Meyhna’ch and Obskuritatem’s O simply grind the filth deeper into the earth, waiting for its eventual (and HORRIFYING) excavation. Beware…

In the meantime, see & hear the eerie video for “The Church of Negation,” featuring the aforementioned Meyhna’ch of Mütiilation here:
