Echoplain is a logical continuation. Emmanuel Bœuf (Emboe, A Shape, Sons of Frida, Dernière Transmission), Clément Matheron (Sons of Frida) and Stéphane Vion (Velocross, La Diagonale du Fou) have known each other for a long time.

William Maybelline and Larissa Iceglass are once again embarking on a dark journey of dejection through upcoming their music that is often characterized by a cool aesthetic, a slight slant in vocals, and guitar playing. This duo has been one of the most prominent acts in the field of cold and darkwave since it […]
Of Blood and Mercury is not exactly what you would expect to listen to from the fusion of musicians from extreme bands such as Enthroned, Bathsheba, but that doesn’t mean it’s boring or tiresome. Quite the contrary, it resembles a bit of Lycia and Enya and that makes me even […]
