Hypno5e releases title track from upcoming album Trame Noire

The Montpellier-based band Hypno5e has released the title track from their upcoming album, ‘Trame Noire’, scheduled for release on November 6 via Pelagic Records. This third preview follows the tracks ‘Lost Fires’ and ‘Molecular Angel’. The new album is described as a ten-minute piece of ‘cinematic metal’ that blends heavy sounds with post-rock and experimental elements.

Singer and guitarist Emmanuel Jessua directed the music video, utilizing collages, drawings, and superimposition techniques to explore themes of memory, loss, and dreams. The concept of the album was inspired by Jessua’s time in Réunion Island, where he learned about ‘dark infrastructure’ designed to preserve nocturnal darkness and local species.

Musically, the band aimed for a more organic sound influenced by 1970s psychedelic rock rather than tech-metal, utilizing fewer samples. The release coincides with the start of the band’s French tour, beginning in Toulouse.
