Dying Victims Productions is proud to announce the long-awaited second album from the notorious French heavy metal band, Animalize. Titled Verminateur, the album will be available in both CD and vinyl LP formats.

After making a splash with their debut album Meat We’re Made Of (2022) and their fan-favorite Tales From the Crypt EP (2020), Animalize is back with a fresh and bold offering that sees the band embracing their true sound. Verminateur showcases a perfect blend of heavy metal, speed metal, and power-thrash, with a nod to the band’s undeniable charisma and love for over-the-top stage antics. Expect an album that’s heavy, anthemic, and wildly entertaining.

For the first time, Verminateur sees the band performing entirely in French, a decision made to honor the wishes of their loyal fans. This new album highlights the band’s growth, combining mid-tempo grooves, catchy hooks, and gritty riffs. The lyrics are delivered with a swagger that resonates with the reckless energy of classic rock, while the album as a whole captures the spirit of metal in its rawest, most thrilling form. Tracks like the title track “Verminateur” strike the perfect balance between rock-god maximalism and street-level mischief, ensuring that the listener is treated to a masterclass in youthful exuberance and musical prowess.

But Animalize isn’t all about power and speed—Verminateur also presents moments of cinematic drama, with the one-minute synth-infused track “Invasion” and the dramatic piano piece “Prière de Remords,” adding depth and variation to the album. The French lyrics give the album a unique identity that sets it apart from the international heavy metal scene.

And for fans looking to experience Animalize’s evolution, Dying Victims Productions is also reissuing Meat We’re Made Of, allowing listeners to reconnect with the groundbreaking debut album that helped define the band’s distinctive style.
