In “Duolithe”, Erebe chart new territory with an ambitious two-track EP that straddles the lines between progressive post-metal, experimental electronics, and brooding, folk-infused textures. A seamless fusion of influences – from the crushing weight of Cult Of Luna to the intricacy of Opeth and the contemplative atmosphere of Karnivool – this release marks both a refinement and an expansion of the French collective’s sonic formula.
“Duolithe” is not merely a prelude to Erebe’s upcoming second full-length – it stands as a statement in its own right. The EP channels a wide range of emotional and philosophical undercurrents, exploring themes of solitude, identity, and the unrelenting passage of time. Literary influences from Cormac McCarthy’s The Passenger and Stella Maris, as well as Lauren Groff’s The Vaster Wilds, lend the record a quiet gravity – a sense of existential stillness in the face of internal and external collapse.
