CARPENTER BRUT – LEATHER TEMPLE
The final chapter of the Leather trilogy
In 2077, the world lies in ruins.
Eighty- five years after a nuclear explosion devastated everything, humanity survives under the rule of a transhuman elite - the Overlords - who live in neon - lit cities, while the rest of the population struggles to surviv e among the wreckage.
At the heart of this dystopia stands Midwichpolis , the nation’s capital, governed with an iron fist by Iron Tusk , a paranoid tyrant, addicted to Pink Base , a synthetic drug, and obsessed with immortality.
Each week, he stages Speed or Perish , deadly races broadcast live where contestants fight for a shot at freedom... one no one has ever actually reached. This brutal world sets the stage for the story of Leather Temple. Lita Connor , leader of the Horde , a rebel group and high - tech scaven ger collective , uncovers in Midwichslums a forgotten cold room buried in the ruins. Inside lies Bret Halford , a.k.a. Leather Teeth , a nightmare from the past.
Determined to bring down the regime, Lita transforms him into a living weapon. Upgraded with advanced tech, now half - man, half - machine, Bret becomes the unlikely ally of a rebellion in search of justice.
On the musical side, Leather Temple dives into a raw, rhythmic, and restless energy, with each track working like a condensed charge. More cinema tic and orchestral, yet also more direct, the album distills a saturated 90s electro atmosphere — dark and unflinching — driven by sharp beats, distorted layers, and unrelenting tension.
Short but intense, Leather Temple hits fast and hard. It doesn’t take time to explain — it acts. Each track feels like a scene, a shot, a chase. A soundtrack seemingly designed to make the neon lights flicker, speed up the heartbeat, and set the engines of a collapsing world roaring.
Following Leather Teeth and Leather Terr or, this final chapter , sitting at the crossroads of sound and story , closes a trilogy that has continuously explored new territory, both narratively and sonically.
Now, Lita and Bret enter the deadliest race of all... to tip a dying world over the edge.
