Info is pretty sparse as yet for the forthcoming sixth EP from Vision Éternel, and one suspects that’s the way project-spearhead Alexandre Julien likes it. Julien, who’s still pretty fresh off issuing April 2018’s An Anthology of Past Misfortunes boxed set (discussed here), has been rather prolific in terms of posting videos and singles and snippets from releases in the past, and it seems as he gives a glimpse of what’s in store for Vision Éternel‘s next outing, that will continue unabated. This is the first clip related to the yet-untitled offering. I’d be very surprised if it’s the last.

The release date is set for late this year/early next, but whichever it is, it seems Julien‘s proclivities in experimentation with post-black metal drones and soundscapes are moving forward as ever. The clip below is brief — only 42 seconds — but the song it previews is only two and a half minutes, so it’s not actually an insubstantial portion thereof. That balance, it seems, has been somewhat essential to understanding where Vision Éternel is coming from. It’s long-form work presented in short-form fashion. Quick immersions, scenes from a film that the listener is then left to piece together. Always evocative, even here in this short piece of a short piece, Vision Éternel never quite covers the same ground twice, but constantly seems to move the story forward into some next act.

I’ll hope to have more to come on Vision Éternel‘s next release as we get closer to its arrival, but in the meantime, the preview clip is below, followed by the 2015 EP, Echoes from Forgotten Hearts (review here), if you’d like to get further acquainted with Julien‘s methods.

Either way, please enjoy:
