Dernière Volonté returns to its roots on new album ‘Cendre’

French post-industrial project Dernière Volonté, led by Geoffroy Delacroix, releases its new album “Cendre” on 25 September 2026 across multiple formats including a limited crystal-blue vinyl edition of 250 copies. The twelve-track record marks a stylistic return to the project’s origins in dense, nocturnal dark ambient and martial industrial sounds that characterized early releases like 1998’s “Obéir et Mourir” and 2001’s “Le Feu Sacré,” departing from the song-oriented approach adopted since 2003. Lead single “L’Âne et le Roi” exemplifies the darker, sparser arrangements combined with the martial rhythms and electronics that defined Dernière Volonté’s signature sound across three decades. This creative pivot follows recent albums including 2022’s “Cristal,” reestablishing the atmospheric nocturnal aesthetic while retaining the melodic vocal elements developed over the project’s extensive discography.
