French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre has announced Igorrr's European headline tour for March 2027, bringing the project's genre-defying live spectacle back to stages across the continent; tour dates and routing can be found below.

Having operated under the name Igorrr for 20 years, Gautier Serre continues to imbue each new release with startling freshness and radical vitality. His steadfastly unclassifiable and stunning full-length Amen maintains that impact, blindsiding listeners with a new set of exploratory curveballs while continuing to surprise and unnerve even the most devoted enthusiasts.

Since signing with Metal Blade Records in 2017, the Igorrr name has evolved from a one-man pseudonym into the identity of a full ensemble. Nevertheless, Gautier remains the project's guiding force and mastermind, making him the ideal person to describe the indescribable. "This album is definitely darker than its predecessors, it has such a very weighty and solemn vibe that has never been reached before in Igorrr", explains Gautier. "The fact that I recorded a real choir in a church helped this a lot, but above all there has been very long and meticulous work on the sound and the choice of instruments, and deep experimental research to create a unique sound design. Of course, because it's an Igorrr album, there are some more colourful tracks, like 'Blastbeat Falafel,' 'ADHD'... They contrast very much with the ambient heaviness. I need tracks like these on an album, it helps to really get through it fully focused, like a shot of limoncello before the next meal."

Driven by a desire to push Igorrr's multifaceted and challenging sound ever further with each release, Gautier has spent considerable time cultivating new creative approaches since 2020's breathtaking and critically acclaimed opus Spirituality And Distortion.

Gautier has long maintained that Igorrr draws as much inspiration from Bach and Chopin as from Cannibal Corpse, Aphex Twin and Meshuggah, though the origins of specific influences become increasingly difficult to pinpoint as the creative process evolves.

"It's always difficult for me to know from where the inspiration comes", he muses. "Music is an expression of life, and I would say everything, even what seems the most insignificant thing, can be a source of inspiration. I would say there hasn't been one event or one experience that has led me on a creative process, it's more like a cumulation of everything. I love making music, my brain processes music all the time. You cannot imagine the amount of albums and concertos I create during my sleep. The challenge is more how to sort these ideas to keep the ones with the best potential, the ones that I won't get bored of, the ones that I really Love - with a big letter L." Link
