Blind Delon - La Métamorphose

Blind Delon’s La Métamorphose is a moody, genre-blending album from the Toulouse-based trio, released in 2023 on VEYL. It marks a shift toward heavier, more emotionally intense territory—drawing on post-punk, darkwave, black romanticism, synthpunk, even flirtations with post-metal—while still retaining their fondness for cold synths and icy bass lines. The album opens with the hard-hitting track “Le Crépuscule,” moves through tracks featuring guest vocalists like Curses, Fivequestionmarks, The KVB, and Poison Point, and crescendos with the title track “La Métamorphose”—a sweeping finale that builds from melodic solitude into a crashing wave of guitars, serving as a kind of emotional summation of the album’s themes of transformation, dread, loss, and emerging intensity.
