"Automne Pt. 2" has the unique honor of featuring Neige. The ethereal voice of Alcest adds an otherworldly layer to Vestige's visceral soundscape, elevating the song to a plane where agony intertwines with ecstasy.

Théodore Rondeau, the creative initiator behind VESTIGE, embarked on a journey of forming the band during a turbulent phase in his life. Emerged as a creative vessel for a complicated emotional journey, the band transcends the boundaries of individual therapy into a collaborative force that hopefully resonates with the feelings that may be all too common for the human experience.
 

With a profound connection to their craft, VESTIGE pour their souls into their debut album, infusing it with a captivating blend of melancholy, desperation, and catharsis. The music serves not only as an expression of their turmoil, but as a conduit for listeners to navigate the complexities of their own emotions. Through this process, VESTIGEbecomes a project with the potential to connect with people on a profound level, forging a collective experience through the universal language of music.
 

The formation of VESTIGE’s lineup reads like a musical destiny unfolding: Pierre-André Krauzer on the bass, Quentin Regnault on drums, and Théodore on vocals and guitar. They first crossed paths during their tenure in Naraka, a band that shared stages with icons like Cradle of Filth and Alcest. This initial connection laid the groundwork for the formation of the band. Not long after, the addition of Thomas Petit on the second guitar solidified the lineup, bringing a sense of completeness to the ensemble. The band’s sonic identity now established; VESTIGE was ready to share this experience with the world.
 

The signing with Season of Mist brings the band’s first milestone, allowing VESTIGE to share their journey in the form of their debut album, Janis. Poised for release in late 2024, the album is a culmination of their collective efforts and a statement of the band’s arrival in the heavy music scene. Weaving through atmospheric shoegaze textures, melodic landscapes and intense, tormented moments that reflects the emotional spectrum of the human experience, the band established a foothold into the genre of modern metal.
 

Beyond the studio, VESTIGE is gearing up for a series of live performance in 2024, setting the stage for an introspective musical experience that brings raw and authentic energy. A cathartic release that pulls in the listener into the emotional depths the band has to bring.

VESTIGE Find A Way Through Wreckage on "Corrosion"

VESTIGE are fresh on the scene, but the French band are made of raw emotions. Formed amidst a tumultuous period in the life of vocalist and guitarist Théodore Rondeau, the band weave intense layers of feeling into evocative, atmospheric post-metal on their debut album. "Corrosion", the second single off Janis, is an anthem for those who have lost their way but still have faith that they will find themselves again.

"Corrosion" opens with a somber guitar riff. The drums come in, adding an extra layer of depth and emotion. The lyrics speak of hope in the face of despair, how love has the power to heal our wounds. Théodore’s vocals are soft and haunting, only to harden as the band switches into a more aggressive style. 

Each song on Janis narrates a step in Theodore's journey through depression, from pain to redemption. By embracing modern metal, Vestige dissolve those fears and transform them into catharsis and beauty. 

The video for "Corrosion" was directed by  Mathieu Ezan, who's also worked with Cult of Luna and Hans Zimmer.

VESTIGE Unveil Total Package on First Single

VESTIGE formed during an intense period of individual turmoil. But after vocalist and guitarist Théodore Rondeau and his old Naraka bandmates Pierre-André Krauzer (bassist) and Quentin Regnault (drums) bonded with guitarist Thomas Petit over a shared love for metal innovators like Alcest and Deftones, together, the four-piece embarked on their own journey toward a modern vision of metal that's both cathartic and crushing.    

Last year, Vestige achieved their first milestone by signing with Season of Mist, even though they had yet to release any music. This year, the band have played several shows in their native France, including a recent date with Celeste. Now, people all over the world can hear the first glimmer of their debut album, Janis, with lead single "Deviens la Nuit".    

"'Deviens La Nuit' catalyzes everything that Vestige represents in a single piece of music", Rondeau says. "Between deep melancholy and the violence of realization, it marks the beginning of the journey that is Janis". 

Watch the colorfully strobing video for "Deviens la Nuit", which was directed by Mathie Ezan (Cult of Luna, Hans Zimmer) Below.

Vestige draw inspiration from modern metal innovators like Alcest and Deftones, but "Deviens la Nuit" encapsulates all the individual pieces that make this band unique. Within the span of 5 minutes, they shift seamlessly from chugging riffs and tortured growls to melodic shoegaze and atmospheric post-metal before closing with a doomy and dissonant, head-banging breakdown. It's here, within this dark night of the soul, that they bring us to the edge of despair so that we can feel what it's like to be born anew.

"Cathartic, gentle, violent but enveloping, 'Deviens La Nuit' is the transformation and realization of the condition in which Theodore composed it", Vestige says. "We hope that this song will invite you to experience this introspective journey with us".

VESTIGE Sign with Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome VESTIGE!

Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Paris in late 2022, Vestige, led by composer Théodore Rondeau, is quickly shaping up as a force to be reckoned with in the modern metal landscape. The band's unique blend of shoegaze tones, ambient melodies, and intense, tormented passages caught Season of Mist's attention and captivated our hearts from the very first listen.

Vestige's lineup, consisting of Pierre-André Krauzer (bass), Quentin Regnault (drums), Théodore Rondeau (guitar/ vocals), came together organically during their time in Naraka, with Thomas Petit (guitar) joining them later. This collaboration has resulted in a sonic identity that is both powerful and distinctive.

"We're beyond thrilled to announce our signing with Season of Mist for the first album of Vestige. We cannot wait to show you all what we've been working on with this legendary label this year. Big thanks once again to Michael and Season of Mist for this opportunity. 🏛”

Stay tuned for Janis – an album that elevates modern metal music to new heights.

The band comments:
"We are relieved to finally send our second album out into the aether for each and everyone to experience, feel and hopefully make their own.

We are thankful for the collaboration with Tue Madsen who really helped bring out the essential MØL-sound out into the production. A huge appreciation to our excellent vocal features by our manager Mirza Radonjica (SIAMESE) on 'Photophobic', and Katherine Shepard (Sylvaine) on the concluding title track 'Diorama'. And also thanks to our friend and visual wizard Jon Gotlev / noheroes.dk for once again accompanying our sound with a strong visual identity. All your contributions have helped us to fully realize this work as it was intended. MØL are what we are today, because of the sum of our parts.

We hope you allow music to take up a bit of time and space, reserved for itself in your lives. It might just end up bringing you a healthy form of emotional escapism, introspection and reflection during a time of great change. Hope to see you live and alive somewhere very soon.

In the meantime - enjoy this live-session of our single 'Vestige' at The Royal Danish Academy of Music recorded and mastered by Frederik Fede Brandt Jakobsen.

Love from Denmark!
Nicolai, Ken, Frederik, Holger & Kim / MØL"

MØL UNLEASH MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "VESTIGE"

On November 5th, MØL return with their second studio album, "DIORAMA". With the first singles already being released and the band having recently announced a new European tour for early 2022, the Danish blackgazers are perfectly prepared for a ferocious attack that will further cement their position as pioneers of the modern black metal scene. Recorded and mixed by Tue Madsen (Gojira, Meshuggah, Heaven Shall Burn), "DIORAMA" will unveil a captivating and aggressive sound even further and today, the band unleashes a music video for their single 'Vestige', that deals with gaslighting and our constant wish to free from reality with the cheapest means that the world offers to us. Watch the music video, captured and edited by Tobias Scavenius, here:

The band comments on the song and the video:
"Gaslighting takes on many forms and our willingness to subject ourselves to an illusion knows no boundaries. However rotten and hollow the core - we still buy into the idea of purchasable raptures, frail salvations, an escape from modern meaninglessness. The video juxtaposes a sunbathed, stylized expression with inspiration from Dario Argento’s colorspace of Susperia from 1977 with vivid colors and high contrasts. Unpleasant and unnerving, yet lavish and extravagant shots are interposed with the performance of the band, spiraling through daylight to nighttime in the vibrant interior of the Dome."

Inspired by bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Drop Nineteens, Lantlôs and Alcest, MØL released their self-titled debut EP back in 2014. A year later they perfected their sound with their second EP "II", produced by Jacob Bredahl and released in 2015. Both EPs were well received and drove them on to do some emphatic live shows which were praised by press. In 2018, MØL made an international breakthrough signing with Holy Roar Records (UK) who released their debut album 'Jord' to critical acclaim. The record was recorded at Grapehouse Studios and mixed and mastered by Chris Kreutzfeldt. The album was also released as an instrumental version and in 2019, the band re-released their two first EPs, remastered for CD and vinyl.
