( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°) Wonderful follow up to Astres! Great to see them branch in new directions and continue to mature their sound. Definitely a band to keep an eye on ❤️ Favorite track: Confusion.

YomaBarr What a journey!
How long was it, three years in the making? Totally worth the wait. My sincere congrats, Vague and Avitus. And thanks for taking me along.

Folks, they're just teasing you, this is extreme metal. Just multifaceted like the Koh-i-noor.

Lovdahl, Ian Astres is special to me: from the opening salvo to the final note, the album features just as many risks as riffs, and its brilliance inured me into following Epectase down whatever new roads they wish to travel.
And now, Nécroses represents that new path. The duo COULD take the easy route and churn out some blasé black metal we've heard before, but Epectase is different: they condense ideas found on Astres, apply a little polish, and inject even fiercer risk than before. A massive achievement. Favorite track: Nécrose.

I am lost with clouded vision Just surviving but not existing Something calls my soul A sacred truth, a divine black land There is a thing buried deep within myself A brute feeling like mercury I observe the sky, the mountains and what lurks below The mist reveals a scene A dragon old like time is waiting to die In these eyes, the fire of conscience burns high I have to find in me the matter and learn from god's creation At last I will find myself complete again The sky's singing to me The mountains are whispering You need to kill the beast You must purify yourself with water Enter the sacred cave Rectify your inner being Then you will find the stone The great work of this universe Then, only after that you will find the path to illumination A state of constant thought, of experience and blessing As above, so below Know your beast and control it As above, so below Avitus - 2020

Confusion 13:34
I've seen it all The shifting rays of mutism The waving stagnation After 9 sordid lives of longing Epoches of drifting sands Lashing against the flows Of a despotic prism Ravished by spiting vows Projections of distant dreams Laying their light to rest Gazes torn by the same lens In the deepest secrecy I've seen it all... Centuries of confusion Hidden by veils of intimacies Circular contexts of avoidance Induced by patterns of dormancy Leave, hurt and ache Heal, strive and fail Tear down the dusk Until it disappears Silence the scars Counting the days In remembrance of times to obviate Sordid dreams and sutured wounds They'll awake Pale harmonies left unsung They still ache Alas, all shall embrace my ire Alas, they will run from the fire Time moves forward, watching Vague - 2020

Désillusion 12:06
Je n'ai pas dormis depuis des lustres Mon pas traînant, ce poids me frustre Les ronciers cachent le chemin et griffent ma chaire Mon corps tuméfié dans cette forêt Je me perds Je ne fais que me battre dans cette vie Toujours en vain, à présent je fuis Je suis un fantôme dans vos vies Une présence silencieuse à l'agonie Cette existence passive je n'en peux plus Ces souvenirs lancinants me tourmentent À quoi bon vivre comme une bête à jamais repue ? Cette faim, ce manque, ils me hantent Je suis un fantôme dans vos vies Un spectre perdu dans un miroir J'observe sans volonté ni pouvoir, le monde danser Confiné dans mon existence où il fait noir Sors moi de là, je t'en supplie La route est longue, je traîne des pieds La tête lourde, une douleur sourde Insidieuse Des fleurs poussent sur mon dos Quand je sens ta présence Je prends racine, dans ces lieux je n'existe plus Mais j'observe Mon feuillage se déploie Je tutoie les anges Les mauvaises herbes poussent sur moi Mon coeur recouvert de roses étranges Je souffre Ça brûle Je m'embrase Les souvenirs et les craintes reviennent tels du chiendent Les regrets grouillent sous mon écorce tels des termites Je n'ai plus de bouche mais je dois crier Je suis un fantôme dans vos vies Je m'embrase tout seul dans le carrefour des âmes Le vent porte mes cendres Et je me dissipe Je me dissipe Avitus - 2020

Nécrose 11:14
When did it become so terminal ? The timeless ceal has now been broken Still the rusting coil shudders And triggers all the void Discordant Abhorrence Eternal Severance Hidden aches Emptied gaze Absent arms and cycling frames Axiomatic, blistering cancerous phase The first to leave will be the last to count A blurring scene in common memory The first to leave will be the last to hurt A burning bridge lies under ivory And you laid here, yore An o'so caustic lore A leech dissolving ashore Disintegrating love Shattered walls Shrouded cloaks Gelid halls Scorching flows Scathing ropes And all these fading hopes At the firmament A shimmering wreck of vehement harmonies Lies against the ghastly depths Of past endeavors At dawn They will remain Vague - 2019

about

3 years after putting out ‘one of the most confounding metal LP’s in recent memory’ viaI,Voidhanger Records. Epectase unveil their new album “Nécroses”, out November 18th 2022 on Frozen Records (Vinyl/CD).
New track "Confusion"+ vinyl pre-orders available on Sept. 16th.

Across 4 tracks & 44 minutes, the French collective, led by multi-instrumentalist Vague & lead vocalist Avitus, reaches boundless sonic catharsis with pristine musicianship, endlessly shape-shifting from extreme metal to electronic, 70’s krautrock & everything in between.

Recorded between Summer 2020 & various periods of isolation. Nécroses is an ever-flowing landscape, serving as an emotional tapestry to various occurings of personal downfalls & emotional disintegration. An hallucinogenic journey that breaches through the listener’s own psyche.
