A true shape-shifter split between Paris and Nantes, Epectase defied every convention with heavy doses of psychedelia and experimentation. Three years after Astres, its debut album on I, Voidhanger Records, the entity led by multi-instrumentalist Vague and singer and illustrator Avitus delivered Nécroses in 2022 on Frozen Records: four tracks, 44 minutes, a blast where extreme metal, krautrock, post-rock and electronic atmospheres merge, under artwork by American artist Paul Nager. A hallucinatory journey through devastated landscapes and personal disintegration. The band has since split up.
