French avant-garde metal act Vénus Bleue is proud to announce their signing with Wormholedeath for the release of their debut album, “Infâme Nectar”, slated for February 14th, 2025.
Drawing from the influences of Anathema, Porcupine Tree, Ange, and Opeth, the band forges a distinctive path through the realms of progressive rock, melancholic metal, and cinematic soundscapes.
“Infâme Nectar” is not just an album — it’s an emotional odyssey. A rich, multi-layered work of art developed across late 2022 and early 2023, it explores the deeper recesses of human emotion with dark poeticism and phantasmagoric soundscapes. Each track bleeds into the next, creating a continuous sonic experience where blazing riffs, haunting piano melodies, orchestral electronica, and dramatic vocals collide. This is a record meant to be both heard and felt — a reader’s song and a virtuoso’s story wrapped into one.
Founder and visionary Vénus B. (composition, vocals, guitars, bass, and synths) explains: “‘Infâme Nectar’ is a journey through surrealist landscapes, where light and shadow merge and reshape reality. We wanted to create an immersive experience, something that feels cinematic and literary at the same time”.
Joining Vénus B. are core members Neptune B. (piano), Mercure B. (violins, keyboards, soundscapes), and the rhythmic might of studio drummer Jupiter B. Together, they weave a sonic tapestry that draws the listener into an ethereal world of beauty and darkness, where melancholic introspection meets sonic aggression.
To give fans a taste of what’s to come, the band has released the single “Latente Liquéfaction” – watch the lyric video below.
