Moundrag are set to unveil their sophomore album, “DEUX” — a name that reflects both the duo’s enduring duality and the natural evolution of their sound. Marking a bold step forward, this new album deepens their exploration of Heavy, Progressive Rock with greater ambition and intensity. From hard-hitting melodies to Psychedelic crescendos and introspective passages, “DEUX” balances raw power with intricate storytelling.
Rooted in 1970s prog, hard rock, and heavy psych, Moundrag channels icons like Deep Purple, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Uriah Heep, while drawing parallels to modern acts like Motorpsycho and Hällas. Yet “DEUX” is no nostalgia trip: it’s a fiercely contemporary manifesto, blending dystopian fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Celtic myth into lyrics that challenge archaic norms and imagine a freer world.
A collision of retro reverence and modern defiance, “DEUX” proves their sound is timeless. It’s a cry from the heart against old patterns, an invitation to break down patriarchal barriers and reshape a freer and fairer world, making it their own. The cover art is a surrealist painting by contemporary Polish artist Justyna Kozikzak, who interprets Dante‘s journey through the circles of hell as described in The Divine Comedy, confronting us with mysteries, fears and inevitable changes.
The album will be issued in Limited A/B vinyl (300 copies), Limited Blue Sky vinyl (300 copies), Black vinyl (400 copies), CD digipack and digital formats, with pre-orders available now from Spinda Records and Stolen Body Records.

Moundrag is a fire-driven, boundary-free Rock duo formed in 2019 by brothers Camille and Colin Goellaen Duvivier. With Camille on organ and Colin on drums — both sharing vocals in a hypnotic call-and-response — they forge a sound that’s raw, epic and unmistakably their own. Their 2019 debut EP introduced their signature blend of 70s-inspired heaviness with a modern grit, proving you can play Rock‘n’Roll without guitars. In 2022, their first album, “Hic Sunt Moundrages,” expanded their universe with Progressive rhythms, Psychedelic swells, and a bold, dramatic edge.
Beyond Moundrag, the brothers also play in Smooth Motion and the French collective Komodrag and the Mounodor (fusing both bands Moundrag and Komodor), whose 2023 album channels revivalist spirit and unapologetic Rock energy.
Lineup:
Camille Goellaen Duvivier / Organ & Vocals
