Weary of earthly life, Deliverance sets out to explore the farthest reaches of the universe with a new album whose title sounds like an invitation to interstellar travel: »The Voyager Golden Banquet«. Formed in 2013 by Etienne Sarthou (guitar) and Pierre Duneau (vocals & keyboards), it was truly with their 2nd and 3rd albums that Deliverance established themselves as a cornerstone of the French avant-garde metal scene. »Holocaust 26:1-46« (2020) and »Neon Chaos In A Junk-Sick Dawn« (2022), these two landmark releases earned widespread acclaim from the specialist press and also secured the band performing slots at prestigious festivals like Hellfest, Motocultor, Lions Metal Fest, Rise & Fall, Tyrant Fest…, and sharing the stage with Enslaved.

Signed to the esteemed label Les Acteurs de l’Ombre, this 4th opus (out May 22nd 2026) sees the band break free from all artistic and musical boundaries. While Deliverance’s black metal/sludge DNA remains intact, it is now confronted with elements of post and progressive rock, Floydian psychedelia, and even contemporary indierock/electro, all previously uncharted territory in this musical sphere. »The Voyager Golden Banquet« invites the listener to leave Earth and its landmarks to lose themselves in the labyrinth of the vast unknown. A space odyssey that paints a more cinematic sonic landscape than ever before. This new release reflects artists in search of an inner peace that can only be found by embarking on an all-or-nothing adventure. A quest for light with no possibility of return.
