Today, French black metallers Diablation reveal the new track “Vox Diaboli.” The track is the first to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated second album, Par Le Feu, set for international release on March 31st via Osmose Productions. Hear Diablation‘s “Vox Diaboli” in its entirety here:
March 31st as the international release date Diablation‘s second album, Par Le Feu, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Veterans of French black metal Vicomte Vampyr Arkames and V. Orias. A, after having respectively created and burnt their soul in Seth and Ad Inferna, deliver Diablation‘s second album, named Par le Feu.
Without concession, this opus is a true ode to the death of humanity, the cataclysmic account of its last hours carried by a metallic wave honoring their black metal roots, those of the ’90s.
Joined by Maximilien B. (Bâ’a) and X, the quartet, deeply rooted in the underground and refusing any public appearance, mischievously alternates grandiloquent moments and passages of rare violence: the quiet times are short-lived, the continuous onslaught of tragic and addictive melodies leading relentlessly to the end of time.
“Par le Feu, Par le Sang, Par la Haine”: thus begins one of the major albums of the French extreme scene.

Today, French black metal supergroup Diablation premiere the new track “Ego Daemonium”. Uniting for the first time ever the two cult singers of Seth (Vicomte Vampyr Arkames) and Anorexia Nervosa (Hreidmarr), the track is the second to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated debut album, Allégeance, set for international release on December 6th via Antiq. Hear Diablation‘s “Ego Daemonium” in its entirety here:
Diablation has for essence the worship of the Devil: its meaning is the fact of giving him life. Including V.Orias A. (ex-Ad Inferna) and Vicomte Vampyr Arkames (ex-Seth, ex-Ad Inferna), Hyde joined the band as bassist a few months after its creation, in the course of 2020. Two decades of silence in their musical world, black metal will have been necessary for their metallic and lyrical torments to spring up again. Dark and unhealthy, the identity of the group is forged in obscurantism and loneliness. April 2021 marked the end of the recording of their debut album, Allégeance, featuring Rose Hreidmarr (ex-Anorexia Nervosa) on the track “Ego Daemonium.” Mixed by V. Orias A. and mastered by Stefan Traunmüller at SoundTemple Studio, the eight tracks thus lay the foundation stones of a work of which this album is only the advent.
“Hell is in man, hell is man.” So could be summed up the concept of the first opus of Diablation. From the title “Aigle de Sang, Aigle du Mal” begins the descent into the depths of darkness that V. Orias A. has meticulously composed, sharpening riff after riff. Vicomte Vampyr Arkames draws on his inner being, wounded to the soul, to reveal its most painful words and cries, the most symptomatic of the evil that is gnawing at him. Supported by a majestic, dark, and tragic black metal, Diablation lays the first stone of a temple – or more precisely, of an order. The principles of this hermetic circle are enumerated over the incantations released by a voice from beyond the grave, always in French: “Reject your God, Erase your vows, Embrace the ineffable, Accept the Devil” are the commandments. Diablation, through Allégeance, offers French black metal: a black mass that will mark minds…and bodies. Now is the time to pledge allegiance.
