“The sound is wide awake, terrifying, surreal, poetic, and ultimately transcendent.” — Doomed & Stoned
“If you’re going to shapeshift, you might as well do it beautifully!” — Betreutes Proggen
“Haunting, elegant, and quietly devastating.” — Jammerzine
DDENT have returned after a 3-year hiatus with a new lineup and a new record: »Feeding The Void’s Luster«. Captured live in the studio in two takes, this volcanic five-tracker finds the quartet pulling from older material, twisting and rearranging it until each song becomes a completely different beast. Heavier, louder, more towering and cathartic.
To embody this renewal, DDENT welcomes new drummer Alain Minot (ex-20 Seconds Falling Man), whose hardcore and punk style infuses the tracks with electrifying tension. Blackened vocals from bassist Nicolas Zivkovich (Les Tigres du Futur, Fiend, Krv) also make an appearance on most tracks for the first time, propelling their sound to new earth-shattering heights without ever overshadowing the instrumental part – the cornerstone of their hypnotic post-metal. Whereas band founder Louis Lambert used to write the bulk of the material, DDENT now operates as a full-blown collective. This record marks the first step in a new process, a way to reunite the band through playing together. Next up: an album consisting entirely of new material, work on which will begin in the fall.

New record »Feeding The Void’s Luster« available on Chien Noir (LP/CD/digital)
DDENT formed in the early 2010s as the instrumental brainchild of guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Louis Lambert and drummer Marc Le Saux. First EP »Chien Noir« was released in 2014, which quickly led to the addition of live musicians to the project. This milestone laid the foundations for a dark post-rock sound that induces a gripping spiritual and sensory journey. While 2017 debut LP »آكتئاب« narrated the introspective journey of a poet, their sophomore album »TORO« (2018) dealt with the search for truth through creation. It is safe to say that literature and philosophy have always been a centerpiece of DDENT’s music.
In 2019, DDENT performed at Europe’s largest metal festival Hellfest, tantalizing both the audience and critics with their bewitching performance. As a result, Louis Lambert started working on the follow-up album »Couvre-sang« – a massive and poetic post-metal 11-track awash with dark, elegant atmospheres and intriguing thematics, described as “pure instrumental industrial bliss, a living breathing beast, crafted superbly, with real emotional levels” by The Sleeping Shaman. In 2021, Lambert kept working as a solo act and released a cinematic single and video entitled »VOLEMOI«. 2023 saw the talented songwriter’s return with the »Ex Auditu« 2xEP on Chien Noir, then entering hiatus… until now.
