Earlier this month, Orakle revealed the cover artwork of “Éclats“, based around the sculptures of Robert Le Lagadec (1927-2002). Multidisciplinary and singular artist if any, he had erected especially for nearly 30 years of towering steel statues : worrying demigods, giants with torn body, idols with raised sexes – as he said himself “an artistic cult dedicated to primal forces”. Structures are still visible in the “Champs des divinités païennes” at Fontenay-les-Briis, near Paris, France.

You can watch a french documentary about Robert Le Lagadec’s works on DailyMotion.

In January, Orakle uploaded a two-part making of “Éclats“, watch them below.

Seven years has passed since the band’s last opus, 2008’s “Tourments & Perdition“. Seven years that has allowed the band to build a very personal and audacious album, where black metal from the beginning merges with a more experimental and dissonant metal (Opeth, Enslaved, Leprous, Hail Spirit Noir…), and some prog rock influences, with french-only lyrics.

« Éclats » will be released on May 11th on Apathia Records.
