We're finally letting this one go after years of trouble making something worth it. Some good stuff and a lot of music have been recorded, still we need to produce it in a decent way. So for the few of you who actually care, thank you and stay around, we may release something someday.

The Question

We have been working on this one for a long time before we decided to release it. It has been a long journey and a long writing process, with lots of ups and downs. As we progress as a band, we are glad to introduce this piece of work with Cha on vocals.

The Shell

We spent months writing, arranging and recording this new song featuring two female metal vocalists and a brand-new lineup. Our writing focuses on the changes, alienation, and loss of identity in our world, burning, and constantly guided by ancient and deadly habits. Blending pitch-shifted breakdowns and cinematic orchestrations, “Shores” comes with a richer and more progressive sound. 

Written and recorded by Derelicts between september 2022 and january 2025 at various locations such as Lille and Cassel.

Derelicts

Derelicts formed in 2014 in Lille, France, uniting musicians from the local progressive rock and extreme metal scenes.
In 2016, the band released SHAOURS, a self-produced debut blending sludge, progressive elements and death metal, followed by a series of shows in 2017.

From 2018 onward, Derelicts shifted its focus to studio work and developed a more modern sound, influenced by melodic and progressive death metal.
Between 2018 and 2025, the band released seven tracks meticulously arranged, featuring orchestral elements, sound design, and a forward-thinking production approach, while collaborating with musicians from the local scene.

In 2025, Derelicts returned to the stage with a renewed lineup and strengthened creative momentum.
Now operating as a five-piece supported by a dedicated technical team, the band delivers an immersive and demanding live experience that reflects its sonic identity.

With its musical direction now firmly defined and a drive to keep exploring, Derelicts is currently working on a new EP.
