From the heart of France’s Tarn region, ELICERE forges a sound as complex as its philosophy: a modern metal fusion of modern-metal/hardcore’s fury, black metal’s abyss, and metalcore’s precision. But this is more than music : it’s maieutics in motion, the art of drawing forth what lies buried deep.
Their debut album traces the journey of Erased, a character trapped in her imaginary dome, watching the world’s vanities, idolatries, and murky relationships with a mix of revulsion and longing. Until the vision comes: she must become the voice. A voice against eschatological denial, illusions of omnipotence, and the path to perdition ; and the alternatives that lurk beyond.
Today, ELICERE unveil a first glimpse from their debut album with the single "Erased I : The Dome" available with a music video on YouTube and Bandcamp.
ELICERE is modern metal as catharsis. Rooted in the Tarn region of France (2023), the project wields modern-metal, hardcore and blackened metalcore to explore the duality of Erased—a character torn between withdrawal and the urge to expose the world’s corruption.
Inspired by the Latin elicere ("to draw from") and the Socratic method of maieutics, ELICERE’s music is a journey inward and outward: a sublimation of the self (body, soul, spirit) and a mirror to society’s illusions. Their debut album chronicles Erased’s transformation—from a silent observer in her "imaginary dome" to a voice of defiance, witnessing denial, omnipotence, and perdition—and the alternatives that emerge from the struggle.
ELICERE isn’t just a band. It’s an excavation.
