comment
Carpenter Brut (born Franck Hueso in Poitiers, France, with nearly no other info known) is a synthwave musician and producer, best known for his contributions to the Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack.His first EP was released in 2012, intending to offer a mixture of heavy metal, synthwave, and horror film sounds; by all appearances, the man succeeded. Aesthetically, his album covers and live sets give off the impression of a 1980s Slasher Film turned up, with garish neon lights, Satanic imagery and Gorn everywhere.

New Sound Album: Leather Teeth moves toward more of a synthesized hard-rock sound compared to the synthwave/darkwave sounds of Trilogy.

Doubles as a bit of a Take That, Audience!, as the synthwave genre has become distressingly popular with white supremacists; compounding this, one of the only times Franck Hueso has ever broken character was to tell any white supremacist fans of his to fuck off and stop listening to his music.

Rev. Godshyne, a televangelist who was mainly identified by having a giant light for a head. Turns out it was a head lamp. He later dies in a Turbine Blender accident from the jet he bought with the money he stole from his followers in a drunken attempt to escape child molestation charges.

Book Ends: "Invasion AD", the last track of the Trilogy albums ends with eerie silence... Unless you listen really closely and hear the first eight notes to "Escape from Midwich Valley", the first track of the EP.

Epic Rocking: EP 1's first track "Escape From Midwich Valley" and EP 3's final track "Invasion AD", both of which clock in at 6:43 and 6:40 respectively.

Villain Protagonist: Bret Halford, the protagonist of the Leather trilogy. The face of a heavy-metal band by day, and a serial killer known as Leather Teeth by night.

Loudness War: All of Carpenter Brut's albums are hilariously brickwalled; most of his releases are DR3 or DR4 at absolute best, aside from the vinyl editions, which are around DR10.

Take That!: The video for "Sunday Lunch" (NSFW) is FULL of this: Rev. Godshyne, a televangelist who was mainly identified by having a giant light for a head. Turns out it was a head lamp. He later dies in a Turbine Blender accident from the jet he bought with the money he stole from his followers in a drunken attempt to escape child molestation charges. There’s also Timmy, a white nationalist mass shooter with neo-Nazi paraphernalia, although everyone glosses over the Nazi bit and blames the Conan the Barbarian expy for his violence. There’s also the matter of the attention he’s getting: the magazine detailing his crime even offers a poster of him! Doubles as a bit of a Take That, Audience!, as the synthwave genre has become distressingly popular with white supremacists; compounding this, one of the only times Franck Hueso has ever broken character was to tell any white supremacist fans of his to fuck off and stop listening to his music. The Gun Safety for Kids part of the video is an obvious pisstake on the school shooting problem in America. The cartoon is shown to be broadcast by MRA TV — an obvious jab to the National Rifle Association, and McWoof and Snuffy saying nothing more than thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims and blaming videogames and music instead of the perpetrator's obvious far-right political views are a commentary on reactions by conservative-leaning Americans who refuse to push for stricter gun laws or better mental health programs and instead search for a quick scapegoat and do the bare minimum to acknowledge the tragedies. Finally, the video lampoons the Satanic Panic of the 80’s as a whole, casting the blame on Heavy Metal and Synthwave music (special note for Trilogy being on the list) instead of the manipulations of morally bankrupt individuals and hypocritical institutions (seriously, how many tits did you see between the commercials?!). The video for Hairspray Hurricane is a meta example: it displayed many violent sequences (it starts with a man who gets crushed by an escalator) and female nudity. Carpenter Brut edited it to match YouTube censorship policy... by hiding female bodies behind badly inserted weapons while the gory scenes remain unchanged.

Shout-Out: The opening of "Escape From Midwich Valley" pseudo-samples "Dreams of a Witches' Sabbath" by Hector Berlioz, most well-known for being used in The Shining. The Leather trilogy is about a leather obsessed heavy metal musician named Halford.
