Deluge
Aego Templo
Digipak CD

France has long been a fertile breeding ground for black metal, and one of its best kept secrets is DÉLUGE, who have been kicking up a blend of that genre and post-hardcore since 2014. Dropping their debut full-length Æther in 2015, in 2020 they return with sophomore effort Ægo Templo, a more accessible record that pushes their sound in ever more imaginative directions. "I wanted to go further into something more 'easy to listen to' but I really did not want to lose what we had, that melancholia and the essence of our music." states founding guitarist François-Thibaut Hordé. "It was a very interesting - and exhausting - challenge, and to me we have succeeded. We are really proud of this new record."
