Jours Pales
Dissolution
Jours Pâles, a project by Spellbound (singer of Aorlhac) was born from the ashes of Asphodèle's first and only album, released in 2019 with Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions. Spellbound and Audrey Sylvain (Malenuit) were joined by Christian Larsson (ex-Apati, ex-Shining, Gloson) Stefan Bayle and Sébastien Papot (Guitar And Drums, Au Champ Des Morts). After the group's dissolution that same year, Spellbound continued the adventure, composing with a desire for continuity as much as for a break, as the vocal duo was no longer present. This evolution responds to a desire to express themselves through the same states of mind and thick, dysthymic mists, while freeing themselves from the clutches of the past, abandoning the rock spirit for a stylistic evolution leaning towards a metal that remains melancholic, but with more galloping and aggressive overtones. Far from flying solo, Spellbound was able to surround itself with musicians such as James Sloan on guitars (Uada, Gravelight) and Christian Larsson. The backbone was completed by several guests: Graf from Psychonaut 4 and Lilas Ondine Dupont (silhouette, backing vocals) as well as Sylvain Bégot (Monolithe) on lead guitar. Sheltered from the world, awaiting the ultimate hatching, Jours Pâles was born...
