Active since 2013, Novelists has already earned its stripes as a veteran of the French and international metalcore scene. But make no mistake: the band continues to reinvent itself, to innovate. Driven by the sharp guitars of Pierre Danel and Florestan Durand, Novelists has established itself with a style that is both technical and atmospheric, where metalcore, post-rock, and soaring melodies collide. In 2023, the band turned a new page with the departure of vocalist Tobias Rische. Taking over the microphone is never easy\u2026 but Camille Contreras is clearly not one to back down from a challenge. Her voice and energy have given the band a new lease on life, which they describe as a miracle on their social media. If you hadn’t already guessed, for Novelists, playing it safe is out of the question: surprising, evolving, sometimes shaking things up\u2026 that’s the real agenda, and with a major Belgian exclusive to boot! Camille spoke to Metalzone.fr about their latest album, Coda (2025): \u201cIf you release an album and people say, \u2018I was expecting exactly this,\u2019 it means you weren\u2019t creative.\u201d At DRF, expect anything\u2026 except what you expected.<\/h3>\n
