Organ-fueled proto-rock alchemists Moundrag unleash their new single »Black Flames« on all streaming services today. This heavy new track heralds their forthcoming sophomore album »DEUX«, slated for release on October 17th via Spinda Records and Stolen Body Records.
A hellish glow pierces the darkness of the Black Mountains, where the land of Armorica still whispers the forgotten names of ancient gods. Silhouettes dance in a circle, intoxicated by the fever of the fire, while the old chapel, a remnant of another age, stands in the heart of a titanic blaze. From this vision came the dark inspiration for Moundrag’s third single »Black Flames«.
The rhythm sinks slowly, heavy as a funeral procession dragged through the ashes. The old Hammond organ, rumbling like a demon trapped in a collapsed temple, evokes the darkest riffs of Black Sabbath. »Black Flames« is a ritual, a conjuration of darkness, a silent call to what lurks beyond the thresholds of human reason. It’s a fiery allegory that denounces war and the cold powers that are watching indifferently. “The world is burning, the weak are consumed, and in the shadows, something awaits. Something that feeds on flames…”

Embrace the dark mystique of new video »Black Flames«
+ listen to the single on all streaming services
Channeling the spirit of 70s prog, hard rock and heavy psych through a kaleidoscope of vocal harmonies, replacing guitar riffs with layered organs and thunderous drums, Moundrag brilliantly bridges the gap between genre forefathers Deep Purple, King Crimson, Uriah Heep and modern acts such as Motorpsycho and Hällas.
Their new album »DEUX« is no nostalgia trip: it’s a fiercely contemporary manifesto, blending dystopian fantasy, sci-fi and Celtic myth into lyrics that address archaic norms while depicting a freer world. A collision of retro reverence and modern defiance, »DEUX« is a timeless sonic whirlwind and stands as a cry from the heart against old patterns – an invitation to break down patriarchal barriers and reshape a fairer world, making it their own.

New album »DEUX« out October 17th on Spinda Records (LP/CD) and Stolen Body Records (LP)
Moundrag is a fire-driven, boundary-free rock duo formed in 2019 by brothers Camille and Colin Goellaen Duvivier. With Camille on organ and Colin on drums – both sharing vocals in a hypnotic call-and-response – they forge a sound that’s raw, epic and unmistakably their own. Their 2019 debut EP introduced their signature blend of 70s-inspired heaviness with a modern grit, proving you can play rock ‘n’ roll without guitars. In 2022, their first album, »Hic Sunt Moundrages«, expanded their universe with progressive rhythms, psychedelic swells, and a bold, dramatic edge.
Moundrag are set to unveil their sophomore album, »DEUX« – a name that reflects both the duo’s enduring duality and the natural evolution of their sound. Marking a bold step forward, this new album deepens their exploration of heavy, progressive rock with greater ambition and intensity. From hard-hitting melodies to psychedelic crescendos and introspective passages, »DEUX« balances raw power with intricate storytelling. The cover art is a surrealist painting by contemporary Polish artist Justyna Kozikzak, who interprets Dante’s journey through the circles of hell as described in The Divine Comedy, confronting us with mysteries, fears and inevitable changes. It will be issued in the fall of 2025 via Spinda Records and Stolen Body Records.

Camille Goellaen Duvivier – Organ & Vocals
