Deûle

Formed at the end of 2020 in the greyness of the river banks from which the band takes its name, Deûle depicts our existential wandering in the constant strain of our urban lives. The grey, foggy and threatening city is the backdrop for this wandering, embodied here by the city of Lille, from which Deûle draws its inspiration and imagery. Deûle plays Synth Doom, a dark Noise Rock with strong Black Metal, Indus and Doom accents, with a sound shaped by weirdo synths and synthetic bass. The strident guitar and drums, topped off with electronics and cymbals, create a sound overhung by a voice that ranges from fragility to heartbreak and madness. After releasing a demo single in November 2021, the band played their first shows in Lille (La Malterie, La Brat Cave) before releasing a 4-track demo in July 2022 with a release party at La Bulle Café, followed by a 5-date mini-tour in France and the Netherlands in October with Iskandr (NL) and Lassolas (Fr). Deûle has recorded its first EP in February 2023 at La Malterie and released it in October of that year, and is determined to support it on the roads in Europe starting this fall with 10 shows in France, Spain and Portugal with Wyatt E.
