Deûle - L'appel du Vide - CD/Vinyl

The Lille-based band Deûle returns with a second album, L'Appel du Vide, co-released with Frozen Records. A sensitive, dark doom laced with black metal and industrial accents. With this new record, Deûle delivers a powerful work of hallucinated passages and dissonant rhythms, carving out a singular identity of its own.
Out 9th October, 2026.

Written in the basement of La Malterie in Lille over the course of 2025, L'Appel du Vide reflects the band's shared vision and their pull toward urgent, melodic, furious sounds, always tinged with a certain melancholy. Every composition grew out of jammed moments — starting from a theme, a rhythm or a melody — then shaped and refined through rehearsal sessions. The atmosphere shifts constantly, from a calm, almost jazz-like opening to intense climaxes, heavy or piercing. Blast beats weave through the album, alongside hammering, almost industrial passages, melodic surges, and far more ethereal moments, as on "Danse de chiens gris."
True to the album's title, the music is slippery — at times repetitive and pounding, at times fleeting and elusive. In total control, yet constantly on the edge of the abyss. The lyrics, written collectively, mirror the music: they deal with concrete topics, urgent, personal, social, but are also dreamy and poetic.

The artwork embodies the lyrics and general mood, pictured once again by Lille and its architecture. Without its red bricks, Lille is grey. L’appel du vide means to be a soundtrack of it, beautiful, furious and melancholic.
