Avant Garde Metal Duo, La Fin Absolute Du Monde, Unveil Video for 'Immaculate Consumption'

With a name inspired by John Carpenter's movie "Cigarette Burns", the husband and wife avant garde metal duo, La Fin Absolute Du Monde, recently released its debut full length studio record, "Clarity Amongst the Rubble," on Wicked Wonderland Empire/Gramercy Records.

The duo, Jason Myles (bass, guitar, drum programming) and Cyndy Melanio (vocals, piano, orchestration) combine their musical backgrounds in metal and classical. While Jason's background is heavy music, Cyndy, (nickname Chicky), has multiple degrees (including from the world renowned Royal Conservatory of Music) in classical music, majoring in classical piano performance with a minor in Spanish classical guitar.

"Clarity Amongst The Rubble" follows on the heels of the release of 2014's critically acclaimed remix record, "Black Sheep Remixed", featuring a reworking of the title track by Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh/Jesu).

The first single from the new record is "Immaculate Consumption", and the band is proud to unveil the video for the track:

Discussing the song, Jason says, "Immaculate Consumption comes from our disgust with an economy that is no longer built on the products we make here domestically, but on the back breaking labor of the Third World and the disposable products we consume without any real need for them," says Jason. "The vanity of social media, the need to be seen, the need to be IMPORTANT is creating a vile class of people that base your worth on your possessions."

Although "Clarity Amongst The Rubble" is the duo's first length studio record, they have released several EPs and 7"s: 2010's "She's Gotta Be A Pirate/Black Sheep" (Foolscircle Records UK); 2011's "Debut de la fin; La Genese" (Foolscircle Records UK), 2012's "Au Revior (Self Released); 2013's "Descend" (Foolscircle Records UK); and 2014's "Black Sheep:REMIXED" (Self Released, Neo-Noir Records).

With the band's goal of utilizing dark, lovely and ambient timbres and ignore conventional structures and boundaries, La Fin Absolute Du Monde has traveled relentlessly throughout the US, UK, and parts of Canada and Mexico, and has opened for Godflesh in Portland, Seattle and LA. They just returned home from a West Coast/Pacific Northwest/Western Canada tour and will be heading back on the road shortly.

It hasn't been an easy road, but LFADM's focus is to provide an intense musical listening experience. "We are two people who come from entirely different worlds, both enamored by smart people who love smart music", Jason says. On "Clarity Amongst The Rubble" the combination of elegantly layered guitars, samples, and Chicky's gripping sultry vocals, creates a powerful sonic debut of dark rock compositions.
