Carpenter Brut

Carpenter Brut blends electronic music, metal and 1980s pop culture into a dark, taut and ultra-cinematic universe. A key figure of synthwave, he deploys razor-sharp synths, driving rhythms and saturated textures that evoke as much the soundtracks of retro thrillers as the energy of glam-metal and visions of futuristic dystopia. His influences range from John Carpenter and Dario Argento to Slayer and Justice, yielding a direct, frontal sound crafted for the stage.

On October 23, 2026, at L’Autre Canal in Nancy, Carpenter Brut presents Leather Temple, the final installment of a trilogy that began with Leather Teeth (2018) and Leather Terror (2022). Conceived as a concept album and the soundtrack to an imaginary film, this chapter closes a dark, stylized narrative, extended by post-apocalyptic imagery. Between rising tension, heavy riffs and synthetic pulses, the set promises a total immersion in his retro-futuristic aesthetic, where musical storytelling and physical impact answer one another without compromise.
