Born from a cross-continental collaboration between Austria and Québec (Canada), Black Metal trio DÉTRESSE have announced their second full-length album, “Misères”, set for release on October 9, 2026, via Vendetta Records. The announcement is accompanied by the release of the album’s first single, “Verrottet”, offering a first glimpse into the band’s latest work. 

Speaking about the track, the band comments: ”Verrottet is the first single from our upcoming album Misères. German for ‘rotten’, the title reflects the song’s uncompromising vision of humanity at its core: corrupted, lost, and consumed by its own decay. With no hope of redemption, its only fate is an inevitable, self-inflicted demise.”

Following the foundation laid by their 2025 debut “Pessimismes”, “Misères” continues DÉTRESSE‘s uncompromising approach to Black Metal while pushing their sound further. The album deals with the misery of mankind and human hardship, exploring how oppression, deprivation, and despair shape everyday existence, blurring the boundaries between past and present. Shaped through raw, unadulterated soundscapes, “Misères” offers a journey into the darkest corners of humanity.

Musically, the album retains the band’s raw and uncompromising sound while cutting back on atmospheric passages in favour of greater intensity and harsh, relentless riffing. Built on relentless riffs, shifting tempos, and uncompromising vocal intensity, DÉTRESSE delivers Black Metal as it should be – without frills, gimmicks, or trends.

01. Vallée de Misères
02. Verrottet
