Official press release:
French post-metal unit DDENT returns as a foursome and announces the release of their new record Feeling the Void’s Luster this July 24th on their own imprint Chien Noir — revisiting some of the band’s previous material under a towering and fire-driven new light.
DDENT returns this summer with a new lineup and a new album: Feeding the Void’s Luster. Captured in two takes, with no metronome or samples, this volcanic five-tracker finds the quartet pulling from older material, twisting and rearranging it until they become a completely different beast. Heavier, louder, more towering, more cathartic.
To embody this renewal, DDENT welcomes new drummer Alain Minot (ex-20 Seconds Falling Man), whose hardcore and punk style infuses the tracks with some new tension. Blackened vocals from bassist Nicolas Zivkovich (Les Tigres du Futur, Fiend, Krv) also make an appearance on most tracks for the first time, without ever overshadowing the instrumental part — the cornerstone of their hypnotic post-metal.
Whereas band founder Louis Lambert used to write the bulk of the material, DDENT now operates as a full-blown collective. This record marks the first step in a new process, a way to reunite the band through playing together. Next up: an album consisting entirely of new material, work on which will begin in the fall.
Feeding the Void’s Luster track listing:
- “Dis à la lune qu’elle vienne”
- “Longue, obscure et triste lune”
- “Arzel”
- “Kohol”
- “Noir taureau de douleur”
