Morte(s) Née(s) means deadborn/stillborn in French. A reference to how we are all actually dead in life. We are zombies stripped of any real human ambitions and feelings which are and always were to solve problems as well as explore and understand our surroundings. Improvise, adapt, overcome. It is not just some random cliché phrase. It is real human nature. Not killing each other, our fellow living beings we call animals to whom we have the need to feel superior whilst systematically abusing them and breeding them for death to feed us AND on top of that destroying the entire planet in the process. That is why humans should never get near space and/or other planets. We are literally born dead.
Morte(s) Née(s) also directly alludes to birth and women give birth to babies. The bringers of life. And we do not respect them for that sole fact.
The cover is a close-up of a young woman who appears defensive, covering her mouth with her hands - which seem worn out. Her face shows signs of altercation. An alternate picture from the inlay art reveals she is bleeding from her nose, which is why she was covering herself. Her beautiful eyes give the most piercing look. Those beautiful eyes… they offer a glimpse into her soul. She appears more alive than most people. She is not giving up, she will still fight.
It was their shortest and most succinct record until 2022's Assassine(s). It contains their longest and most sprawling song to date, also the first to make use of strings and piano.
The album back then, felt heavier, more extreme and darker than the past ones and in this context they enhanced their unique, incomparable sound with new elements like samples (the inclusion of samples where you can hear a woman violently scream in horror on one of the songs makes sense if you are aware what their lyrics are about) and they experimented for the first time with guest musicians (from Les Fragments de la Nuit) plus new instruments like piano and strings. And it fits accordingly. Of course they also again created a then-new level of denseness in their sound.
