POINT MORT's official video for “Celebrity Spin” offers the first preview of Live at Hellfest, the French five-piece's forthcoming seven-track live album and full concert video. Recorded during their 2026 return to the festival's Warzone stage, the release is due November 13, 2026, through Almost Famous, with distribution by Baco Records.
Written specifically for POINT MORT's second Hellfest appearance, “Celebrity Spin” addresses the temporary change in perspective that comes with performing before a large audience. The announcement describes a song concerned with the feeling of becoming larger than life onstage, the disorientation that accompanies it and the sudden return to everyday existence after the performance ends.
The accompanying footage captures the Warzone performance with flowers, confetti and a circle pit. According to the announcement, the song moves from melodic vocal harmonies into heavier grooves and growled vocals, with abrupt changes reflecting the band's approach to arrangement. Those shifts accompany a lyrical subject rooted in the contrast between public attention and what follows once the lights go down.
Live at Hellfest will be available in vinyl, CD, digital and video formats. A separate behind-the-scenes documentary, tracing the preparation and story of the performance, is scheduled to follow on December 10.
Formed in the Paris region in 2017, POINT MORT describe their music as “omnicore”; the announcement also uses “chaotic popcore.” Their stated approach starts with hardcore and incorporates pop melody, electronic elements, rock dynamics and rap cadence. The press material offers Brutus, Rolo Tomassi, Ithaca, Faith No More, Oathbreaker and Refused as reference points for listeners, rather than identifying those artists as collaborators.
The band's recorded catalog includes two EPs and the albums Pointless… and Le point de non-retour. The supplied background emphasizes the combination of emotional expression and physical intensity across those recordings, providing context for the stylistic changes described in “Celebrity Spin.”
POINT MORT's history also includes a one-day recording session at the former Vogue Records studio, an appearance on the Motocultor Mainstage and a tour through Cuba. Their two Hellfest appearances now provide the setting for the new live release, with “Celebrity Spin” introducing the forthcoming concert document.
