Modern Rituals delves even deeper into the blend of noise and sludge, expressing all their skepticism and disgust towards a society where sarcasm and mediocrity become criteria for appreciation, if not values to be defended at all costs. A society that constantly broadcasts its own decline and drowns the spineless masses in an ocean of ignorance. Modern Rituals marks a new stage for Carne in their methodical quest for ever-heavier, darker, and more psychedelic sounds. Their renewed collaboration with Marion Leclercq (Mütterlein, Overmars) offers a more visceral approach to their music and tightens the bonds around the unease it portrays.
