Dernière Volonté is a music project that has firmly established itself in the neofolk and martial industrial music scenes, helmed by the enigmatic French musician Geoffroy D. Active since the late 1990s, Dernière Volonté (which translates to "Last Will" in English) blends somber, reflective lyrics with a unique fusion of synths, military rhythms, and melancholic melodies that often draw inspiration from historical, romantic, and philosophical themes.
Over the years, Dernière Volonté's sound has evolved from its martial and sometimes abrasive early works to a more refined and melodic approach, always maintaining a strong sense of atmosphere and French cultural identity. Recent releases like "Cristal" and "Ne te retourne pas" (2022), along with "Le feu sacré" (2021), showcase the project's ongoing experimentation with textured soundscapes and emotive vocal performances. The remastered 2020 version of "Devant Le Miroir" exemplifies their commitment to sonic quality and their ability to reinterpret earlier materials with a fresh perspective. As Dernière Volonté continues to push the boundaries within the genre, fans anticipate each release for its potent blend of the nostalgic and the groundbreaking.
