The culmination of worC (Aurélien Perreira) and Eggeh (Igor Omodei) projects, their style is inspired by Meshuggah's polyrhythmic structure and muted guitar tones. The EP "8", the band's first release, is available as a free download in its entirety from the band's official website. Their first full-length album, Februus, released on October 31, 2011.

Consisting of ten main tracks and three additional ambient pieces on a second CD, Februus' blend of Meshuggah-style rhythms with the atmospherics of Jesu and ambient undertones of Rosetta has garnered much respect from the metal community. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, making the album into a singlular monolithic concept.

UES formed after the split of Longchat with Igor Omodei and Benoit Friedrich.

Current lineup:
Matthieu Romarin on vocals
Jean Ferry on drums
Benoit Friedrich on bass
Jérôme Colombelli on guitars
Aurélien Perreira on guitars and ambiences
Igor Omodei on guitars and production

Delusions of Grandeur
Uneven Structure Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same patterns repeated.
A constant failure process.
The fables of fortune remain untold.
Delusions of grandeur is defeated
as nothingness takes control.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics "Same patterns repeated. A constant failure process. The fables of fortune remain untold. Delusions of grandeur is defeated as nothingness takes control" seem to be discussing the cyclical nature of life and the human experience. The "same patterns repeated" could refer to the pattern of human behavior and the choices people make that ultimately lead to failure. The "fables of fortune remain untold" suggests that despite this constant pattern of failure, people still cling to the notion of success and fortune, creating "delusions of grandeur." However, in the end, "nothingness takes control," perhaps meaning that life is ultimately meaningless and that even our grandest dreams and ambitions are ultimately futile.

Overall, the lyrics seem to convey a sense of hopelessness and resignation, as if the singer has given up on the idea of achieving anything significant in life. The repetition of the phrase "constant failure process" implies a sense of inevitability, as if no matter what one does, failure is always looming.
