French modern metal band Vestige have released their gripping new standalone single, “Envy” , via Season of Mist. Departing from their acclaimed debut album Janis (released September 6, 2024), “Envy” is a standalone reckoning, channeling the visceral pain of childhood trauma into a cathartic sonic torrent. The track, available now for streaming, marks a bold evolution in the band’s sound and sets the stage for their debut performance at Hellfest 2025 on June 19, where “Envy” will make its live premiere.

“Envy” blends post-metal’s atmospheric depth with melodic intensity, navigating the fragile line between sorrow and rage. The new track is a powerful act of naming and reclaiming, transforming personal pain into universal resonance.
Formed in France, Vestige—Théodore Rondeau (vocals), Hugo Zeller (drums), Maxime Hérin (guitar), and Titouan Le Gal (bass)—emerged with Janis, a debut that earned praise for its emotional weight and genre-blending ambition, drawing comparisons to Deftones, Gojira, and Alcest. “Envy” signals a rupture from Janis’s narrative arc, showcasing a band unafraid to evolve. Produced with meticulous care, the single retains the immersive, cinematic quality that defines Vestige’s sound, amplified by their unflinching honesty.
Vestige’s debut at Hellfest 2025 (June 19-22, Clisson, France) is a pivotal moment, placing them alongside metal giants like Slipknot, Gojira, and In Flames. Their set, including the live debut of “Envy,” promises to be an intense, immersive experience, reflecting the emotional rawness of their music. No additional 2025 tour dates are confirmed, but their Hellfest slot signals a rising presence in the European metal scene.
Vestige Lineup:
- Théodore Rondeau – Vocals
- Hugo Zeller – Drums
