Where much of Made Flesh operates in close first-person focus, “Oblivious” widens the lens. The song examines a kind of collective paralysis, first called out, then slowly accepted as a quiet admission of insignificance. It sits inside the tension between two impulses: the lucid but powerless clarity of the conscious thinker, and a blind, restless drive toward conquest. Within that contrast, the song finds itself almost envying those who simply look away, since facing the state of things means carrying both its wreckage and the weight of one’s own unused potential.

“Oblivious” is drawn from Made Flesh, UNTITLED WITH DRUMS‘ sophomore album, recorded at Halle du Jeu de Paume in Vic-le-Comte, France. Where the album’s other songs tend to interrogate the self directly, “Oblivious” turns that same unflinching gaze outward, reinforcing Made Flesh‘s broader intent: to hold up a mirror to the parts of the human psyche most people would rather not examine.

The band states:

“We chose to release “Oblivious” as the third single from Made Flesh because it shows something different from the first two singles: it’s faster, grungier, edgier… It’s actually one of the songs we enjoy playing live the most. The official video—edited by Martin Le Borgne—illustrates the track’s more organic approach: initially created digitally, it was then projected into a CRT TV, re-filmed with a camcorder, and re-edited using an analog video mixer. It’s a geeky extravaganza that showcases the more ’90s-inspired side of our artistic process.”

That UNTITLED WITH DRUMS didn’t throw in the towel during the COVID era is nothing short of a miracle. While their debut album, Hollow, had the misfortune of being released just days before the lockdown was declared in France in March 2020, the praise from the specialized media allowed it to soar above the fray. This propelled this heir to Failure, Quicksand, and Cave In to the stages of Hellfest 2022 and the Nuits de Fourvière festival, opening for the legendary Deftones, as well as London’s Desertfest. This was enough to build confidence, gather strength, and prepare the ground for a worthy successor to their first album, as well as to the symbols EP released at the end of 2025. This was merely an appetizer before Made Flesh, their sophomore album, through which the Clermont-Ferrand-based band pushes their hybrid of alt rock and 90s post-hardcore to new heights.

Recorded and mixed under the guidance of Cyrille Gachet (Fange, Year Of No Light, The Great Old Ones…) and then mastered by Alan Douches (Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Converge…), Made Flesh grew out of a long and intense period of songwriting, fraught with self-doubt and soul-searching. But above all, it testifies to a compositional intent focused on efficiency and a better showcasing of everything that constitutes the band’s sonic DNA. Only one single guiding principle here: ensuring that these 10 new tracks resonate personally. This is Untitled With Drums as its members want you to hear them — not as you might expect. Far from being weakened by their reformation as a quartet, it is precisely their unbreakable bonds forged more than a decade ago that constitute their strength, more alive with symbiosis than ever.

While the power of Lucas D.’s riffs is heightened, the ethereal soundscapes he weaves are even more expanded. They blend seamlessly with Nicolas Z.‘s synthesizers, now more prominent than ever. Rémy D.‘s drumming provides the songs’ backbone, delivering grooves with assertive nuances without neglecting more intricate patterns. This array of strengths wouldn’t be complete without bassist Martin L.B..’s vocals, never failing to deliver an infectious emotional intensity. This energy serves Made Flesh‘s thematic focus: a satirical outlook on our times delivered from a multitude of perspectives, like donning and dropping one mask after another.

With this sophomore album, UNTITLED WITH DRUMS establish themselves as the beacon of a French rock scene struggling to take risks, too often settling for crude heaviness. Theirs cuts deeper — straight to the flesh.
