DEHORS Contrenuit EP: A Sonic Molotov Against Metropolitan Apathy

The DEHORS Contrenuit EP isn't just music - it's a fucking wake-up call screamed through a haze of reverb and distortion. This Parisian trio's March 2025 release cuts through the bullshit of city life with three tracks of shoegaze-laced fury that'll rattle your bones and haunt your sleepless nights.

Recorded with legendary producer Étienne Sarthou (Alcest, Birds in Row), this EP represents the sound of concrete cracking under pressure. It's where Have a Nice Life's existential dread collides with black metal's raw intensity, all filtered through Paris' dying underground scene. These anarchists of atmosphere don't just make music - they document urban decay in real time.

From the Ashes: The Birth of Contrenuit

Originally forming as instrumental project Lie Dormant, Dehors emerged from COVID's wreckage with a vengeance. Their transformation mirrors Paris itself - burning buildings with pink facades, gentrification's chokehold, and the desperate beauty found in the cracks. The DEHORS Contrenuit EP captures this tension perfectly, switching between French poetic murmurs and screamo outbursts like a schizophrenic metro announcement.

"We made the choice to use lyrics in French, which wasn't obvious at first," the band explains, giving middle fingers to both anglophone market demands and France's rising far-right. This is resistance music for the streaming age - too pretty to ignore, too vicious to co-opt.

Track-by-Track Armageddon

"Insomnie" - A six-minute anxiety attack set to music. The bass-drum intro hammers like a neighbor's late-night argument before exploding into waves of guitar noise. This isn't just about sleeplessness - it's about capitalist exhaustion as a collective experience.

"Rêverie" - The calm before the storm, floating on krautrock rhythms and whispered Baudelaire-esque poetry. "We sleep as we walk, we walk as we dream" mutters the vocalist before the track dissolves into cynical laughter.

"Un orage" - The EP's ten-ton climax. Imagine trying to find your lover during a biblical downpour, with guitars that mimic thunder and drums that hit like hailstones. It's romantic as hell and twice as destructive.

Paris Is Burning (And So Is This Band)

Dehors stands with endangered venues like L'International and Le Cirque Électrique, playing alongside black metal revolutionaries Limbes and feminist punk collective Salut les Zikettes. The DEHORS Contrenuit EP arrives as both art and weapon - its vinyl release through Hidden Bay Records documents a scene fighting gentrification one show at a time.

Their upcoming Super 16 video for "Un orage" (directed by drummer Ben) promises more urban poetry - band members staring from windows, empty buildings, and the kind of rain that washes away everything but truth.

The Future Sounds Like Broken Concrete

With new material already brewing and French tours planned, Dehors represents everything vital about underground music in 2025. The DEHORS Contrenuit EP doesn't just reflect city life - it soundtracks the resistance against its sterilization. This is the voice of Paris' last real artists, screaming into the void before luxury condos swallow everything.

Crank up the DEHORS Contrenuit EP until your walls shake. Let its shoegaze squalls and post-hardcore punches remind you that beauty still exists in the cracks - you just have to fight to hear it.
