Preceding the release of MÜTTERLEIN's third full-length album, "Amidst the Flames, May Our Organs Resound", the solo project of French composer Marion Leclercq (ex-OVERMARS) unveils a second new offering. 'Wounded Grace' is a haunting convergence of sinister melodies and crushing intensity, steeped in unrelenting tension.
Listen here and via YouTube:
"'Wounded Grace' was written during a time when I was reflecting on the pain endured by women, especially those who have been victims of violence and assault. The song speaks to the deep, silent suffering of those whose pain is often ignored, whose voices are silenced. When I refer to 'faceless sisters', I'm thinking of the countless women whose experiences are erased, forgotten, or dismissed.
I am still deeply shocked by how the voices of survivors are treated, particularly in my country. It feels like society is quick to silence them, to question their truth, or to diminish their pain. This song was born from that shock and the frustration of witnessing this systemic disregard.
The composition of the track was raw and emotional, reflecting the grief, but also the quiet strength that remains in the face of such violence. It's about how grace is shattered, but how, despite everything, something endures. I didn't set out to make a grand statement, but I felt this song was important because it captures both the trauma and the resilience of women who are too often left unheard."
