Ddent formed in the early 2010s by guitarist and multi instrumentalist Louis Lambert and drummer Marc Le Saux, initially as an instrumental project. The 2014 EP "Chien Noir" marked the first major step, with live musicians joining the project soon after. Their music developed through dark post rock and post metal, with literature and philosophy remaining central themes. The 2017 debut "آكتئاب" explored an introspective poetic world, followed by "Toro" in 2018, while 2019 brought an appearance at Hellfest. Louis Lambert later continued as a solo act, releasing the cinematic "Volemoi" in 2021 and the 2xEP "Ex Auditu" in 2023. After a three year hiatus, Ddent returns with Nicolas Zivkovich on bass and vocals, Vincent Ghislain on guitar, and new drummer Alain Minot, previously of 20 Seconds Falling Man.
"Feeding The Void's Luster" presents five reworked compositions captured live in two takes, giving the record a raw performance character and a more immediate presentation. The material comes from earlier Ddent work, although the arrangements have been substantially altered, bringing greater heaviness, darker vocal presence and a more forceful emotional charge. Louis Lambert and Vincent Ghislain build the guitars around long atmospheric movements, while Nicolas Zivkovich adds occasional blackened vocals that introduce a colder edge to the otherwise largely instrumental approach.
The production preserves the scale of the guitars and the natural impact of the performance, avoiding an overly artificial studio character. The record moves between hypnotic post metal, dark post rock and touches of black metal, with French titles adding another layer to its poetic character. Its half hour length makes the experience focused, although some ideas could have used more variation before reaching their conclusion. "Feeding The Void's Luster" is a dark, heavy return from Ddent, built around atmosphere, repetition and gradual escalation rather than immediate hooks. The result is an intense record with a distinctly underground character and enough substance to reward listeners drawn to darker forms of post metal.
