The final track written and recorded for their debut album, Que plus rien ne demeure is also the third single released by the band—an ending that serves as a kind of implosion. Not a crescendo. No triumph. Just the slow collapse, acknowledged and dissected in real time.
The new song from Naufraage, one of our most striking discoveries in 2024, pushes back into screamo territory while maintaining the density of blackened hardcore. The delivery is harsher but not gratuitous—vocals are carved out rather than layered on, contorted as if trying to escape the lyrics themselves. According to the band, the writing aimed to explore intensity without repeating themselves. The result leans into discomfort, refusing catharsis.
Mixed and mastered by Ténèbre and featuring artwork by Rémi Bordet, Que plus rien ne demeure doesn’t chase coherence. It lets fracture be the structure.

Lyrically, the piece is anchored in the recognition that permanence is fiction. There’s a line repeated like a curse or a plea: “No one’s shadow, I wish to be forgotten.” From there, everything unravels—light escapes, dreams are aborted, icons asphyxiate.
“It’s about realizing that nothing is set in stone,” the band says. “That everything we take for granted can be torn apart in a matter of hours or days.”
The collapse isn’t a singular event—it’s recurring. The phrase “Nothing remains: the collapse” keeps resurfacing like a looped warning, or a breathless confession. Images stretch from hollowed-out wombs to burning beguines, from sublime journeys that no longer arrive anywhere, to “a magnificent saraband, a foolish waltz” that doesn’t elevate but devours.
Even hope, though mentioned, is buried. Not denied, just unreachable.

The piece is explicitly introspective—less about the world falling apart than the slow erosion of inner scaffolding. And still, it avoids melodrama.
In the band’s own timeline, the release also marks a threshold. Two new members have joined—Damiano (also of Vantre) on bass, and Corentin (Submariner) on drums. With this new lineup, they’re finalizing a live set, with Paris shows lined up through HeadAche Booking in the coming months.
The upcoming EP, featuring seven tracks and fully mixed by Ténèbre, is scheduled for release in June. It remains unnamed, and the band is actively seeking labels to support vinyl and cassette distribution.
