Collection: Your Inland Empire

Born from the ashes of Crown, France’s YOUR INLAND EMPIRE carries forth a legacy of industrial angst and post-metal intensity. The quartet fuses the visionary partnership of Stéphane Azam and David Husser with the rhythmic power of Nicolas Uhlen and Marc Strebler, crafting a sound both cinematic and corrosive.

Their debut album embodies the “dark night of the soul”: an introspective journey where light collides with shadow, melody with abrasion. Tracks like There Is No Me and Grinding channel dark pop energy with post-punk atmospherics, while Edge of Perfection veers into industrial metal aggression. The mid-tempo menace of Venom underscores the record’s central theme: venomous words and actions seeping into every layer of existence. Across eleven songs, Your Inland Empire weaves hypnotic hooks, visceral riffs, and a lyrical rawness that reflects years of turmoil, resilience, and transformation. Produced by Husser at La Grange Studio and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano, the record is steeped in sonic precision yet unafraid to descend into chaos.

For fans of NINE INCH NAILS, GODFLESH, DEPECHE MODE & YOUNG GODS: a powerful mix of dark pop hooks, industrial aggression, and post-metal atmosphere.
