Paris-based alternative/metal band Maps And Foils has just released the video for “Après l’éclipse,” the first single from their upcoming album ‘Nulle Part.’
Blending dissonant hardcore and ethereal melodies, the track offers a powerful glimpse into the album’s introspective world—centered on themes of wandering and self-destruction. The video marks both the end of an era for the band’s original lineup and the beginning of a new chapter with renewed energy and vision.
Nulle Part is set for release in the coming months.

Maps And Foils is an alternative/metal/post-hardcore band from Paris, founded in 2016 by Tristan (vocals, guitar) and Thomas (guitar, backing vocals). Over the years, they have explored a wide musical spectrum, releasing two full-length albums—#1 and Less Is Mort—as well as diverse projects, including the grindcore EP Les Anathèmes and the documentary At Spes Non Fracta.
Following Thomas’s departure, the band evolved into a power-trio, with Ewen on bass and Lucas on drums. In 2024, with its renewed line-up, M&F released the EP Dies Irae, a prelude to their next full-length record.
In 2025, Maps And Foils returned with Après l’éclipse, the first single from their third album, Nulle Part. This conceptual record delves into themes of wandering and self-destruction, blending dissonant hardcore with ethereal melodies to amplify its introspective lyrics. Marking the end of an era with the original lineup, the album also signals a new chapter for the band. With Antoine now on bass, Maps And Foils is stronger than ever, ready to bring their latest work to life on stage.
