Orakle-2015

“Éclats”, the long-awaited third album from the French extreme metallers ORAKLE is out, via Apathia Records, and now streaming in its entirely below.

The sculptures in the booklet and the cover artwork (see below) are from Robert Le Lagadec (1927-2002) and are still visible in the “Champs des divinités païennes” at Fontenay-les-Briis, near Paris, France.

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.

French extreme metallers ORAKLE have revealed the first extract of their upcoming album, “Éclats”, to be released on May 11th via Apathia Records. You can discover a 6-minutes version of “Humanisme vulgaire” here :

Preorders (CDs, Tshirts, Exclusive Bundles) are available HERE.

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.

ORAKLE Signs With Apathia Records, To Release New Album In May

After two critically acclaimed albums released in 2005 (“Uni aux cimes”) and 2008 (“Tourments & Perdition”), and a lot of shows, including one at the Hellfest 2009, ORAKLE had disappeared from the scene for five long years… 2015 will mark the return of the french metallers, with a long-awaited third album and a signing on Apathia Records.

Entitled “Éclats”, this new chapter was produced by the band, mixed at Henosis studios by Frédéric Gervais and mastered by Bruno Gruel / Elektra Mastering.

Many years of work have been necessary for ORAKLE to achieve a very personal and audacious album, where the sophisticated black metal of the beginning merges with a tortuous and experimental metal (Virus, Leprous, Hail Spirit Noir), but also in a progressive rock with almost pop notes and exclusively french lyrics.

“Éclats” will be released on May 11th on Apathia Records. Preorders will start on February 16th.
