Just one year after their first full-length Champ du Sang, the self-professed two-headed hydra that is Vous Autres is set to release their second album Sel de Pierre. Due out on September 25th via Season of Mist Underground Activists, the six-track effort will bring together elements of shoegaze, black metal, sludge, and post-metal for what the band describes as a “shimmer of hope among the black, dark landscapes.”
“Onde,” the opening track of the album, and the second to be released following “Vesuve” last month, is a monolith of persistent machine gun kicks, low-end guitar and bass tones, and mind-melting melodies against an otherwise bleak backdrop. Even as the extended-range guitars chug and hulk along, the lead guitars create beautiful leads and motifs to brighten up the whole affair, furthering the strange, otherworldly aesthetic the music informs.
The track listing for Sel de Pierre is as follows:
1. Onde
2. Vesuve
3. Ecueil
4. Sans Sèves
5. In Humus
6. Nitre
