Hypno5e to release seventh album Trame Noire in 2026

The Montpellier based progressive post-metal quartet Hypno5e has announced the release of their seventh studio album, titled Trame Noire, scheduled for November 6, 2026, via Pelagic Records.

Described as a fusion of tech-metal and psychedelia, the album features a cinematic and textured soundscape that incorporates both melodic passages and intense, crushing breakdowns. The work is the group's shortest to date, consisting of five tracks spanning approximately 40 minutes.

The concept of Trame Noire refers to dark infrastructure designed to preserve nocturnal biodiversity. Lyrically, the album follows a protagonist confronting trauma during a single night, where environmental stimuli trigger buried memories. Lead vocalist Emmanuel Jessua stated that the band aims to develop a new musical language with each release to avoid predictability.
