DemonTool is a French metal band forged around a melodic heavy/thrash sound with clean vocals in French.

Formed in the mid-2000s, the band is blending rhythmic power with vocal melodies to directly connect with French-speaking audiences. After more than 10 years, they return with a new album: “La Valse des Âmes” (“The Waltz of Souls”). DemonTool mixes thrash influences, traditional heavy metal, and more epic passages, alternating between staccato riffs and intricate solos. The band loves to tell powerful stories: tales of war, personal dramas, monsters, and legends follow one another in their lyrics. The rockers don’t shy away from tackling dark and politically charged subjects, combining social commentary with universal themes such as madness, revenge, and survival. Singing in French gives their lyrics an immediate and undeniably powerful political and emotional impact. Their discography reveals a constant progression, both in production and songwriting, from their early works to their recent albums. The band knows how to craft atmospheres: from claustrophobic tension to epic flights of fancy, everything serves the musical narrative.

With “La Valse des Âmes”, DemonTool continues and deepens this dark universe: the album brings together powerful lyrical tableaux: apocalypse, war, monsters, harassment, and scientific chimeras, thus creating a dark and narrative fresco. The album plays on contrasts (clean vocals versus brutal scenes, contemplative passages versus rhythmic explosions) and emphasizes epic choruses and striking imagery. The lyrics, sometimes inspired by historical or mythological tales, alternate between social commentary and fantastical visions, giving the band a dimension that is both narrative and symbolic. Musically, the album consists of solid tracks, designed for the stage, where the choirs and solos serve the dramatic intensity of the lyrics, promising demonic live performances.

Released on December 5th, “La Valse des Âmes” confirms DemonTool as a group capable of combining storytelling and Metal power, offering a new opus designed to capture the public’s imagination.
