Novelists

There’s plenty of talent on the French metal scene and in recent years some excellent acts have made significant progress. One of them is Novelists (often printed as Novelists FR). Emerging in 2013 as a progressive hardcore band, they evolved into a modern metal outfit with a penchant for electronic sounds but without diluting the music’s inherent heaviness. In 2022 they released ‘Déjà Vu: Première Partie’, a juggernaut of an album that will definitely get younger metal fans moving. At the start of 2024 they opened for Tesseract and in 2023 they accompanied Northlane on their European tour. Fans that like a combination of brute strength and melodic finesse will welcome Novelists with open arms. #GMM25
