Belgian razorgrind veterans release a 2:11 title single now, lead a two-song EP due October 23 that runs under seven minutes and was tracked with contemporary heavy-music engineers.
The Hammered Into Collapse EP arrives October 23, contains two songs—“Hammered Into Collapse” and “Voided”—and totals under seven minutes.
Recordings were made at Hearse Studio with Lander Cluyse, mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.
The current lineup (Serge Kasongo, Jan Hallaert, Olivier Coppens, Nicolas Malfeyt) has been together longer than any previous configuration and has been road-tested live, including Gullegem Metal Fest 2026.
# What happened
Belgian grindcore band Leng Tch'e issued their first new recorded material since 2017. The single "Hammered Into Collapse" is out now through Season of Mist and clocks in at 2 minutes and 11 seconds. It leads a two-song EP of the same name due October 23. The full EP contains just two tracks—"Hammered Into Collapse" and "Voided"—and runs under seven minutes.
# What the music is like
Leng Tch'e describe their sound as razorgrind: grindcore foundations with significant hardcore and death metal influence. Rather than a long reintroduction, the band chose a concentrated statement—two short, intense tracks that preserve speed, abrasion, and density.
# Who made this release
# Where this fits in the band's timeline
Leng Tch'e formed in Ghent in 2001 under the name Anal Torture. Original members included drummer Sven De Caluwé, guitarist Glen Herman, vocalist Isaac Roelens, and bassist Kevin Loosveld. Their discography milestones include:
De Caluwé left the band in 2007, after which no founding members remained. The current lineup—vocalist Serge Kasongo, guitarist Jan Hallaert, drummer Olivier Coppens, and bassist/backing vocalist Nicolas Malfeyt—has been together longer than any previous configuration. They continued to play live during the recording gap, including a 2026 appearance at Gullegem Metal Fest.
# Why the release matters practically
After nearly nine years without new recorded material, the band opted for a concise, high-impact release rather than a full-length or sprawling EP. That makes this record useful for listeners who want a concentrated sense of where the band stands musically now: a tested live unit presenting short, sharp compositions recorded and processed by engineers with recent heavy-music credentials.
