The impetuous nature of Singapore’s Deathpunk cohort OFFSET is further manifested on their debut MLP “Bent Benevolence”, four tracks of discordant HM-2 lacerations in under ten minutes.

Recorded and mixed at TNT Studio (Wormrot, WTN, Marijannah, Lubricant, etc) by engineering mogul Ah Boy and mastering duties handled by Jack Control at Enormous Door Mastering, USA (Darkthrone, Final Conflict, Trap Them, Aura Noir, etc). Featuring the extremely bizarre yet captivating cover artwork of cult Japanese Ero Guro manga artist Shintaro Kago and vinyl layout by Heresie Design Studio (Ensnared, Teitanblood, Blut Aus Nord, etc).
ESPRIT D’ AIR release their latest single, ‘Shadow of Time’, on 14 March 2025. Written and produced by vocalist by Kai, the track blends power metal and gothic metal...
