Jours Pâles Release New Single “M.O.R.T.” — First Glimpse of Upcoming Album Résonances

From deep gloom and heartbreak rises a new dawn — French melancholic black-metal outfit Jours Pâles have just dropped their new single “M.O.R.T.”, the first warning shot ahead of their forthcoming album "Résonances"(out 5 December 2025 via Les Acteurs De l’Ombre Productions).

Led by composer/vocalist Spellbound, Jours Pâles began in 2020 and built over the years a spectral, emotional signature: a bleak but poetic fusion of black metal, post-black melancholy and introspective atmosphere. Their past work — albums like "Tensions" (2022) and last year’s "Dissolution" (2024) — already showed a band evolving fast, mixing despair, existential pain and personal turmoil with haunting melodies and raw intensity. This new phase promises even more depth and emotional weight.

With "Résonances", the band dives darker themes: separation, loss, inner demons, the weight of existence — but also fragile hope, memory and catharsis. The new single “M.O.R.T.” sets the tone: melancholic yet restless, cold yet burning with emotion, paving the way for a full-length that could be among the most powerful in their catalog.

Here at Pulse Records we love what Jours Pâles are doing — and we’re already gearing up to have their releases in stock. Expect vinyl, and digipack formats of "Résonances" landing soon in our distro. If you’re into black metal with heart, despair and haunting beauty, keep your eyes (and ears) open — this is one you won’t want to miss.

Kever – Primordial Offerings (2019 Black Vinyl EP) Review | Ritualistic Old-School Death Metal Reawakened

Image
⛤ Death Metal | 21.00 € (Near-Mint) ⛤ Pulse Rating: 8.75 / 10 🛒 Check this item in stock 📧 Order Now Kever 's "Primordial Offerings" is one of those rare EPs that hits like a forgotten relic of early-'90s death metal while still feeling feral, focused, and unnervingly atmospheric. Spinning this 2019 black-vinyl pressing, you enter a vortex of cavernous riffs, suffocating drums, and ritualistic ambience — the kind of record that drags you straight into the underworld without any hesitation. The EP opens with an ominous instrumental introduction that sets the tone from the start: desolate, ritualistic, and drenched in occult dread. When "Lords of Karma" kicks in, the full weight of Kever's approach becomes clear — thick, grinding guitars, blasting percussion, and vocals that sound like they're clawing their way out of an ancient tomb. It's old-school death metal through and through, but sharpened ...

Suicidal Vortex – My Existence: A Series of Torturous Events (2022 EP) Review | Raw & Unrelenting Black Metal

Image
⛤ Black Metal | 4.00 € (Near Mint) ⛤ Pulse Rating: 8.5 / 10 🛒 Check this item in stock 📧 Order Now This is where it began for Suicidal Vortex — the debut full-length from Lübeck’s EXORD (Terminal Spirit) and DIS-CONNECTED-MESSIAH (Seelentanz era), and also the first official release on underground label Afflictedphonica Arts. That alone marks it as an artifact worth rediscovering in the darker folds of German black metal history. My Existence: A Series Of Thoughts Amidst Infinitive Darkness is a violent and schizoid plunge into depressive, mechanical nihilism — 12 tracks of sterile guitar churn, programmed percussion, warped samples, and tortured, almost inhuman vocals. The record doesn’t merely channel despair — it manufactures it. There’s no romantic melancholy here, only cold, industrialized decay. What makes it stand apart is its duality. Beneath the clinical production, you hear fast, Nordic-influenced riffing reminiscent of Ragnarök or e...

MIDSUMMER PROG FESTIVAL 2026 Reveals Full Line-Up – Geoff Tate and TesseracT Headline

Image
The organizers of MIDSUMMER PROG FESTIVAL have officially revealed the complete line-up for the 2026 edition, once again turning Maastricht, The Netherlands, into a mandatory pilgrimage point for progressive rock and metal devotees. Set to take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 20 & 21, 2026, the festival will be headlined by GEOFF TATE on Day 1 and TESSERACT on Day 2. Tate’s appearance is especially notable, as he will be performing Operation: Mindcrime in its entirety, alongside additional material — a true collector’s dream for fans of progressive metal history. The road to this announcement wasn’t entirely smooth. Landing TESSERACT meant shifting the festival by one day, but the result is a carefully curated weekend that reflects the organizers’ dedication to quality over compromise. There are also plans in motion for a special pre-festival concert evening on Friday, intended as a warm-up celebration rather than a full festival day. The full confirmed li...
