AEPHANEMER Unleashes New Video Single “Le Cimetière Marin”
 October 31 will see French melodic death metal frontrunners, Aephanemer, release their new studio offering, Utopie, through Napalm Records.
Blending ferocious melodic death metal with cinematic grandeur, Utopie sees the band unleash an ambitious, razor-sharp assault of epic melodies, relentless speed, and philosophical depth, pushing their sound into bold new territory. Led by the commanding presence of Marion Bascoul, Aephanemer delivers a fiercely technical and emotionally immersive record — lyrically exploring the uniquely mythic urgency of modern times.
In support of Utopie, the band will embark on a European tour in early November, with special guests Valhahlore, Dark Oath and Waldgeflüster. Find the band’s itinerary and ticket links here.
Following the previously released, blistering album opening track “La Règle du Jeu”, today, the trio has unveiled a music video for their latest single, “Le Cimetière Marin”.
“Le Cimetière Marin” offers an intricate guitar tapestry beneath a scathing vocal assault, crafting a track that’s both graceful and menacing. It powerfully blends progressive metal complexity and emotional intensity, showcasing Aephanemer’s ability to balance technical proficiency with deeply resonant atmospheres.
The accompanying music video takes viewers into the band’s rehearsal space, offering a thrilling performance of the track with eye-catching visual cues that amplify it’s intensity.
The band comments: “Le Cimetière Marin is one of the most distinctive tracks on the album. We aimed to create a truly heroic piece – not in a modern way, but inspired by the way heroism was expressed in classical music centuries ago. Fueled by bold elements from both classical traditions and melodic death metal, it carries a strong, almost epic energy. We’re really eager to bring it to the stage!”
Watch the official music video for “Le Cimetière Marin” below:
Following the roaring success of their latest album A Dream Of Wilderness (2021), the Toulouse-based melodic death metal powerhouse, Aephanemer, strikes again with their fourth studio offering. With Utopie, Aephanemer recalibrates their formula, surging with heavier classical influences, blistering riffage, majestic orchestrations, and Slavic folk undertones — etching a sound equally ancient and futuristic.
The band recently said, “With Utopie, we set out to create a sound that brings together the elements we’ve always loved — the intensity of melodic death metal and the depth of classical music. We spent a lot of time shaping melodies, drawing inspiration from polyphonic writing, and building orchestral arrangements that feel both powerful and natural to us. It was a challenging but fulfilling process, and we sincerely hope listeners will connect with what we’ve crafted.”
Lyrically, the record engages with the concept of utopia not as escape, but as confrontation — dissecting philosophical ideals with their refined sonic scalpel, and pushing for a world of harmony between living beings.
Actively bucking genre conventions, Aephanemer continues to reinvent their path in the melodic death metal landscape. Utopie is more than just an album — it’s a storm of sound, an ideological reckoning, and a powerful new chapter from one of Europe’s most vital and visionary metal bands.
Utopie will be available in the following formats:
– 1CD Digipak
– 1LP Gatefold Black
– 1LP Gatefold Orange / Black Marbled
