Sortilège remains a near-mythical name in French metal circles. If you grew up in France with a denim vest, an Iron Maiden patch, and a copy of Enfer Magazine stuffed in your school bag, chances are Métamorphose spent serious time on your turntable and songs like “Civilisation Perdue” or “Délire d’un Fou” provided the soundtrack to a fair amount of adolescent headbanging. The original band reunited in the new millennium and, while the lineup has shifted repeatedly since then, the essence remains intact: proudly old-school heavy metal steeped in fantasy imagery, built around piercing vocal wails and unapologetically excessive guitar solos. That is what Sortilège offers in 2026, a concentrated dose of tradition, delivered without apology.
