Two years after their debut on Berlin’s Mannequin Records, Leroy Se Meurt return with their second album, Hier Pour Toujours. Far from nostalgic, the record mirrors the bleakness of our times: history repeats itself, the future looks dark, and the duo’s fierce electronic punk is its perfect soundtrack. Drum machines set the march, synths flood the space, loops spiral to exhaustion, and vocals lead this orchestra of machines straight into the fire. Leroy Se Meurt sharpen their roots into something even more relentless—bold slogans, narrative fragments, and anthems made to be shouted together. The album swings between floor-burners like “Pas Ma Croix”, “Du Plafond à La Terre”, and “Alevlere Karşı”, and darker, slower cuts like the intimate title track “Hier Pour Toujours” or the heavy incantation “Encore”. Along the way, it flirts with EBM, furious punk energy, cinematic synthscapes, and moments of unexpected clarity. Hier Pour Toujours isn’t any more optimistic than their debut—but it still insists on belief. The end hasn’t come yet, and maybe, just maybe, there’s still light waiting on the other side.
