French post-metal unit DDENT shares new video “Dis à la lune qu’elle vienne” off “Feeding the Void’s Luster” record, out July 24th on Chien Noir.

French post-metal architects DDENT premiere the first video taken from their upcoming new record “Feeling the Void’s Luster” — revisiting five tracks from their past catalog, now performed by a new lineup and ignited by vocals for the very first time — due out on July 24th via Chien Noir.

“Everything about this production bleeds real. The sound is wide awake, terrifying, surreal, poetic, and ultimately transcendent.” – Doomed & Stoned

DDENT returns this summer with a new lineup and a new record: 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, propelling their sound to new earth-shattering heights 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.

DDENT formed in the early 2010s as the instrumental brainchild of guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Louis Lambert and drummer Marc Le Saux. First EP Chien Noir was released in 2014, which quickly led to the addition of live musicians to the project. This milestone laid the foundations for a dark post-rock sound that induces a gripping spiritual and sensory journey. While 2017 debut LP آكتئاب narrated the introspective journey of a poet, their sophomore album TORO (2018) dealt with the search for truth through creation. It is safe to say that literature and philosophy have always been a centerpiece of DDENT’s music.

In 2019, DDENT performed at Europe’s largest metal festival Hellfest, tantalizing both the audience and critics with their bewitching performance. As a result, Louis Lambert started working on the follow-up album Couvre-sang — a massive and poetic post-metal 11-track awash with dark, elegant atmospheres and intriguing thematics, described as “pure instrumental industrial bliss, a living breathing beast, crafted superbly, with real emotional levels” by The Sleeping Shaman. In 2021, Lambert kept working as a solo act and released a cinematic single and video entitled “VOLEMOI”. 2023 saw the talented songwriter’s return with the Ex Auditu 2xEP on Chien Noir, then entering hiatus… until now.
