DRUNKEN CROCODILES – Le Divin Marquis
Heavy Psych/Stoner/Sludge trio DRUNKEN CROCODILES have officially revealed all the details for their highly anticipated new album, “Aegony,” set for release on March 21, 2025, via Octopus Rising, an (un)parallel label of Argonauta Records. To mark the occasion, the band has also dropped the second official video from the album, “Le Divin Marquis”—a track inspired by the life of the notorious Marquis de Sade.
Recorded during early summer 2024 at Noise Studio in Parma, “Aegony” is a sonic statement against the modern obsession with perfection. Committed to an analog recording process, the band embraced a raw and organic approach—no reamping, no triggers, no pitch correction, and a conscious departure from the “Loudness War” to preserve the natural dynamics of their execution. The result is a warm, immersive soundscape that oscillates between dreamlike melodies, aggressive tight riffs, and evocative bursts of rage.
Conceptually, “Aegony” explores the dark consequences of the ego, delving into real-life stories where self-interest clashes with humanity. Each track reflects a unique struggle—whether against mortality, nature, society, or evolution—forming a cohesive narrative of human folly and self-destruction.
