Dernière Volonté
Encyclopedia
Dernière Volonté is the name under which French
musician Geoffroy D writes martial music, neoclassical music
, dark ambient
and military pop. Throughout his early period, Geoffroy tended to write a fusion of martial music and dark ambient. Choosing to focus on atmosphere, rhythm, and historical samples, he left little emphasis to be placed on vocals and melody. However, with the release of his 2003 effort, Les Blessures De L'Ombre, Geoffroy took a new direction, applying his martial style to verse-chorus song structures and pop melodies.
Geoffroy is featured as a guest artist on the Der Blutharsch
albums When all else fails! and Time is thee enemy!, as well as multiple singles.
The band still plays occasional live shows.
