The critically acclaimed French progressive metalcore band Novelists has released the fourth new single ‘Okapi’.
Known for their intricate compositions and profound lyrical themes, Novelists continue to push the boundaries of the genre with this emotionally charged and sonically heavy track.
‘Okapi’ is a testimony to the band’s evolution and resilience.
Written during a tumultuous period of personal upheavals—ranging from city moves and family losses to break-ups – the track emerges as an emotional exploration of pain, perseverance, and the strength found in unity.
The lyrics of ‘Okapi’ resonate with those who have felt isolated and overwhelmed, yet striving for a sense of hope.
Novelists:
“‘OKAPI’ was written throughout 2023 and the beginning of 2024; it is a very important song for us as a band and as individuals as it was written through a lot of changes and doubts happening in each of our lives. From moving to a different city to break-ups, death, and sickness in our families, etc. A lot has happened in our personal lives in only a few months. And for those reasons, it took us longer to finish the song than we originally anticipated, but now reflecting on it, I am happy we took the time we needed; the song only ended up even better and more meaningful.”

The acclaimed French progressive metalcore band Novelists released their deeply emotional new single and music video ‘Mourning The Dawn’.
This third single shows the band’s versatility and emotional depth.
Building on the momentum of their previous releases, ‘Mourning The Dawn’ presents a shift in Novelists’ artistic direction, returning to the roots of their original sound.
It echoes a sense of longing and a journey through the night, a theme that is both sad and heavy, reminiscent of Novelists early work.
The lyrics of ‘Mourning The Dawn’ paint a vivid picture of yearning and loss, capturing the essence of the song’s deep and resonant tone.
“I fade away into the void with all I am, into the darkness of a dream within your arms”,
sings Camille Contreras, whose powerful and emotive vocals lead this poignant track.
The song delves into themes of love, sorrow, and the haunting presence of an absent figure, resonating with listeners who have experienced similar feelings of longing and regret.
The music video is a visually captivating representation of the song’s emotional depth.
Fans can anticipate a narrative that complements the song’s introspective lyrics, further enhancing the overall experience of ‘Mourning The Dawn’.
With this release, Novelists reaffirm their position as a band capable of evolving and adapting, while staying true to their core sound.
Novelists established themselves as a prominent force in the progressive metalcore scene.
Known for their innovative sound and emotive storytelling through music, they continue to captivate audiences worldwide on their upcoming Europe and UK tour in 2024.
