Spellbound and Audrey Sylvain (Malenuit) were accompanied by Christian Larsson (Ex Apati, ex Shining, Gloson) Stefan Bayle and S©bastien Papot (Guitare et batterie, Au champ des morts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter the band€™s dissolution the very same year, Spellbound keeps the adventure going, composing with a desire for continuity as much as for fracture. This step forward comes with a will to express his music through the same states of mind and thick dysthymic hazes, while freeing himself from the shackles of the past, abandoning rock moods for a stylistic evolution towards a metal that remains melancholic, but with more galloping and aggressive hints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‰closion, the first album of this new offspring, aims to be the personal assessment of a world that€™s more than ever considered as dislocated and torn apart, but above all a perpetual search for hope and light, through the texts as much as the visual aspect.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFar from flying solo, Spellbound surrounds himself with James Sloan on guitars (Uada, Gravelight) and Christian Larsson. The backbone is completed by several guests: Graf from Psychonaut 4 and Lilas Ondine Dupont (silhouette, backing vocals) as well as Sylvain B©got (Monolithe) and Lonn (Aorlhac) on solo guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSafe from the world, waiting for the ultimate blooming, was born Jours P¢les€¦\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJours P¢les return in 2022, still under LADLO€™s banner, with a second album named €œTensions€. Tensions is a personal representation of a dysthymic modern world, perceived as cold, mechanical, disillusioned, where social media and political scarecrows rule a Mephistophelean society that is totally lacking sense and landmarks. This general theme is pictured on Niklas Sundin€™s artwork (founding member of Dark Tranquillity, Laethora€¦). Musically-speaking, the result is a more aggressive piece but with a vision that tends to distort clich©s through an egotistical composition which mixes once again the genres. Still with Spellbound in command (composition, vocals, lyrics), the line-up now comprises musicians such as Alex G. on bass (Aorlhac, Alta¯r, Ritual Knives) Alexis S. on guitars, Ben L. on drums (B-Blast records) and the traditional role of guest is this time entrusted to Natalie Koskinen (from the doom metal cults of Shape of Despair).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.
