Metal

Beurre is a Swiss trio that has been exploring experimental metal music for five years. The band includes Chadi Messmer (Closet Disco Queen...) on bass, Elischa Heller (Film 2, 222Rn) on vocals and synthesizers, and since 2023, Luc Hess Coilguns, The Ocean) on drums.

In 2020, Messmer and Heller joined forces with drummer Philip Meienhofer to develop a distinct sound. Over three years, they shaped their musical style, which culminated in the release of their debut album Oxt To Anyone in August 2023 on
Humus Records. Shortly before their tour, Meienhofer left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Luc Hess.

In the following year and a half, Beurre performed around 25 shows across Switzerland, France, and Belgium. Their gigs included the B-Sides Festival in Lucerne, Micro-Festival in Liège, Palace St. Gallen, and Botanique in Brussels. WOZ described the band as “hard but cool,” while the Luzerner Zeitung called their sound “deafeningly loud and pitch black.”

For the past year, the trio has been working on their second album, Resonate and Amplify. During several week-long residencies, they pushed the boundaries of volume and distortion and recorded six new songs in December 2024. The album releases digitally and on vinyl in September 2025 via Humus Records in Switzerland and Jaune Orange Records in Belgium.
