Fractal Universe

Fractal Universe is a French progressive death metal band known for blending intricate technical riffs with jazz-inspired grooves and existential lyricism. Formed in 2013, the group—originally featuring members like vocalist/guitarist Vince Wilquin, bassist Hugo Florimond, and drummer Valérian Etienne—has carved a niche with albums like *Rhizomes of Insanity* (2019) and *The Impassable Horizon* (2023). Their sound merges brainy complexity with catchy hooks, often exploring themes of philosophy, human psychology, and cosmic dread, making them a favorite among prog-metal fans and sci-fi nerds alike.

Live shows and recent tracks like *Causality's Grip* and *Symmetrical Masquerade* showcase their knack for balancing crushing heaviness with melodic introspection. They’ve toured with acts like Gorod and Beyond Creation, solidifying their rep as forward-thinking musicians who aren’t afraid to get weird. Think of them as your friendly neighborhood death metal band… if your neighborhood was a black hole unraveling the fabric of reality.
