VESTIGE Sign with Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome VESTIGE!

Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Paris in late 2022, Vestige, led by composer Théodore Rondeau, is quickly shaping up to become a force to be reckoned with in the modern metal landscape. The band’s unique blend of shoegaze tones, ambient melodies, and intense, tormented passages caught Season of Mist’s attention and captivated our hearts from the very first listen.

Vestige’s lineup, consisting of Pierre-André Krauzer (bass), Quentin Regnault (drums), Théodore Rondeau (guitar/ vocals), and Thomas Petit (guitar), came together organically during their time in Naraka, with Thomas joining them later. This collaboration has resulted in a sonic identity that is both powerful and distinctive.

“We’re beyond thrilled to announce our signing with Season of Mist for the first album of Vestige. We cannot wait to show you all what we’ve been working on with this legendary label this year. Big thanks once again to Michael and Season of Mist for this opportunity. ”

Stay tuned for Janis – an album that elevates modern metal music to new heights. We invite you to join us on this thrilling adventure as we welcome Vestige to the Season of Mist family!

Théodore Rondeau, the creative initiator behind VESTIGE, embarked on a journey of forming the band during a turbulent phase in his life. Emerged as a creative vessel for a complicated emotional journey, the band transcends the boundaries of individual therapy into a collaborative force that hopefully resonates with the feelings that may be all too common for the human experience.

With a profound connection to their craft, VESTIGE pour their souls into their debut album, infusing it with a captivating blend of melancholy, desperation, and catharsis. The music serves not only as an expression of their turmoil, but as a conduit for listeners to navigate the complexities of their own emotions. Through this process, VESTIGE becomes a project with the potential to connect with people on a profound level, forging a collective experience through the universal language of music.

The formation of VESTIGE’s lineup reads like a musical destiny unfolding: Pierre-André Krauzer on the bass, Quentin Regnault on drums, and Théodore on vocals and guitar. They first crossed paths during their tenure in Naraka, a band that shared stages with icons like Cradle of Filth and Alcest. This initial connection laid the groundwork for the formation of the band. Not long after, the addition of Thomas Petit on the second guitar solidified the lineup, bringing a sense of completeness to the ensemble. The band’s sonic identity now established; VESTIGE was ready to share this experience with the world.

The signing with Season of Mist brings the band’s first milestone, allowing VESTIGE to share their journey in the form of their debut album, ‘Janis’. Poised for release in late 2024, the album is a culmination of their collective efforts and a statement of the band’s arrival in the heavy music scene. Weaving through atmospheric shoegaze textures, melodic landscapes and intense, tormented moments that reflects the emotional spectrum of the human experience, the band established a foothold into the genre of modern metal.

Beyond the studio, VESTIGE is gearing up for a series of live performance in 2024, setting the stage for an introspective musical experience that brings raw and authentic energy. A cathartic release that pulls in the listener into the emotional depths the band has to bring.
