A new chapter in post-metal has begun with the arrival of Camille Contreras, the latest voice of French progressive metalcore outfit Novelists. Taking on the role of lead vocalist is no small task—especially following a line of predecessors who helped shape the band's identity. Yet, Camille steps into the spotlight with remarkable poise and undeniable talent.
For over a decade, Novelists have captivated metalcore fans worldwide, earning critical acclaim from major media outlets and record labels. Now, with their highly anticipated album Coda on the horizon, the band embarks on an exciting new era. We spoke with Camille about her musical journey, the influences that have shaped her artistry, and the path that led her to this defining moment.
Her vocal range is nothing short of exceptional, seamlessly complementing Novelists' fusion of progressive metal, ambient soundscapes, and post-rock textures. In many ways, Camille feels like the missing piece the band has been searching for. The pressure of expectation is undeniable, but if Novelists have won over fans before, their impact is set to multiply tenfold.
Beyond the studio, Camille’s stage presence is equally compelling, bringing a fresh intensity and charisma that elevates Novelists’ live performances to new heights. Her energy is infectious, making every show an experience that demands to be seen and felt.
This isn’t just a new chapter—it could very well be the era for Novelists. Don’t miss out—Coda drops May 16 via Ackor.
