French Prog Metal group founded in 2018, Esprit d’Escalier returns with "Thresholds", a prequel EP capƟvant which lays the foundations for a next album planned for 2025. With much more assertive singing and poignant but also a more coherent writing and composition than on previous releases of the group, we can clearly speak of a mature EP for the French quartet!
Already well installed on its local underground scene, the group intends to export to Europe and defend this EP on stage throughout the 2024 season, in particular thanks to the Hyper Tension Prod collective recently founded with other emerging groups from the French Prog scene (Synapse, Altesia, Hemeroplan).
THE SHROUD
Taken from this new EP, the song The Shroud depicts an Earth that has become almost uninhabitable, in which humanity finds itself condemned to live in dystopian dome cities that are reminiscent of the classics of sci-fi science fiction.
The name The Shroud also refers to the veil of pollution which obscures the stars, depriving humanity of the landmarks that have guided it throughout its history... Combining unique musical ambiances at a frantic pace, the piece honors the qualities of composition and arrangement of the group which does not fail to surprise us with each transiƟon, skillfully mixing Rock and Progressive Metal with a hint of Post-Hardcore.
