Progressive rock always has been on the edge and Homme is doing the same with equal flair. Their latest single, “Ma Vie en Théorèmes” continues on from the momentum of their June 2024 released single, “Mon capitaine,” but has a much darker tone.
This new track is a powerful track of music and lyrically it is focused on the concept of megalomania and loneliness. Homme combines great guitar lines with brutal vocals to create an atmosphere – engulfing and rather creepy. And it is not just a song but an investigation of the human mind of a certain character who believes he is a king in his own little world.
What is most interesting about “Ma Vie en Théorèmes” is that despite being deeply prog-rock, the song does not shy away from Homme’s serious, even philosophical, subject matter. The video that goes alongside this is also very visually interesting and really adds to the music.
With this release Homme is carving its niche in the modern progressive rock market. It is not just that they are producing music; they are creating moments that will mess with people’s heads.
We are glad to have Homme to tell us about how “Ma Vie en Théorèmes” was created, what inspired it and what is coming next from the band.
