LENG TCH’E Break Their Silence with the Hammered into Collapse EP

Belgian grindcore band LENG TCH’E release their new EP Hammered into Collapse on today via Season of Mist, their first new material since 2017’s Razorgrind and the end of a near-decade-long silence. The two-track EP pairs the title track, released on September 24th with an official music video, with a brand-new song, “Voided”.

“Hammered into Collapse” is built around the image of a parasite that has fed on its host for twenty years without ever being sated, a slow reckoning with wasted time that tightens into a repeated, mechanical refrain and lands as a cerebral hijack. “Voided” takes the same collapse and pushes it outward, past the individual and into something closer to apocalypse, spiralling from mental unravelling to total blackout, a chase after insanity that ends by devouring the sun. Where the title track stays claustrophobic and internal, “Voided” opens up until the personal and the cosmic blur together.

The EP was recorded at Hearse Studio with engineer Lander Cluyse, mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Young, known for his recent work with God’s Hate, Full of Hell and Vitriol, places the release within a current, heavier-leaning corner of the grind and death metal landscape. Music is by Jan Hallaert and Olivier Coppens, lyrics are by Serge Kasongo, and artwork is by Sven De Caluwé, with photography by Serch Carriere.

Formed in Ghent in 2001, LENG TCH’E built their name through the mid-2000s on albums including Death by a Thousand Cuts, ManMadePredator and The Process of Elimination, released through labels such as Spew and Relapse Records. Razorgrind, released in 2017, was widely regarded in grind circles as a return to form. The band has remained active live in the years since, playing Gullegem Metal Fest in April 2026.

Two tracks, just under five minutes, no ceremony: a band closing the distance on its own catalogue, one continuous collapse from denial to void.
