SILHOUETTE

Today, French post-black metallers Silhouette reveal the new video “Silhouette.” The track is the second to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated debut album, Les Dires de l’Ame, set for international release on October 20th via Antiq. See & hear Silhouette‘s “Silhouette” video in its entirety here:

Born in 2019 in Montpellier, the French sextet of Silhouette were able to make a name for themselves with the debut EP Les Retranchements, released in 2022 by Antiq, and build up a strong live experience at several events in France. With their incisive, post-metal-tinged black metal and the strength of their two singers, Ondine and Yharnam, the band invites introspection and tackles the theme of dreams, nightmares, and lost ones. 

Now, two years after that celebrated EP, Silhouette will release their debut album, Les Dires de l’Ame. Taking listeners on a long, dreamlike journey, the band’s first full-length spans extremes of sound – beauty to darkness, violence to repose – and shows Silhouette masterfully combining a black metal base with the skyscraping melodicism of shoegaze and the deft textural shifts of post-rock. Although comprising ten songs across 46 minutes, the album feels far more epic than that conventional construction may suggest;  Silhouette‘s songwriting simply stuns with its acute balance of drama and flow, hypnotizing and dazzling at every turn. The same can be said for the layered dual vocals of Ondine and Yharnam, working a stronger spell that’s at times almost crushingly beautiful. But to call Les Dires de l’Ame a “black metal” record or especially a “post-metal” one misses the point: while the destination is no less important, that journey the band take you on is, in essence, the “destination.” Either way, Silhouette now come strongly recommended to fans of Alcest, Sylvaine, Cult of Luna, Amenra, and Darkher.

Antiq is a label dedicated to the fully coherent concept of making music through sound, image, video, and attitude. They have been putting their entire existence into it since 2009. Over the years, Antiq have been identified as producers of not only perfectly coherent lyrics and themes through music, but also conceptual art and, of course, the manufacturing of beautiful objects. The label tries as much as it can to work with French creators, and if possible, with the smallest and most serious structures.

Today, French atmospheric black metallers Silhouette stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album, Les Retranchement. Set for international release on January 28th via Antiq, hear Silhouette‘s Les Retranchement in its entirety here:

Silhouette is a French black metal band based in Montpellier and created by Achlys in 2019. Initially conceived as a one-man band, the project then involved more musicians in order to develop a synergy between clean female vocals and traditional black and DSBM vocals.

Silhouette’s view reflects dreams and visions about distant people whose shapes and intentions will stay obscure forever. Through soul’s dooms and mist, Silhouette deals with topics such as lost ones, fantomatic shapes from which only fragments and souvenirs remain. The band proposes a journey between intense melodies, storms, and velvet lulls to depict the travel of the one who dares to explore the places and ghosts of their past.
