COMING SOON
DEBUT ALBUM
UPCOMING SINGLE:
LOOK DAD, I MADE A VIDEO CLIP!
Watch the teaser of our upcoming video for the song Brand New Breed. It’s been written by Océane, co-directed by Océane and Nicolas G., and filmed by our friend and director of photography Nathan Lacanal. Everything you see on set is DIY, from the settings to the makeup and the costumes. We can't wait to show it to you.
NEWS FLASH:
NO, WE DIDN'T SPLIT
And yes, our debut album is coming. We’ve been through war but we’re finally done with the recordings. Our baby is now in the golden hands of our friend Romain Edmond (Teneus Production). Spoiler alert: it sounds like Regan and Pazuzu in The Exorcist decided to take advantage of that demonic possession thing and did a collaborative studio album together while they were at it.
ABOUT US
Formed in September 2014 in the French island La Réunion, Burning Doll is Océane Urvois (singing), Nicolas Guéniot (guitar), Nicolas Renambatz (bass) and Laurent Cassaigneau (drums).
Our music is a hybrid between the soothing vibe of lullabies and more brutal tones borrowed from heavy metal - a definition with which L'Azenda magazine seemed to agree in Mars 2017, writing: "Burnin Doll's languor [is] punctuated by powerful shrill cries, ones that Courtney Love herself wouldn't deny in a fleeting burst of lucidity".

OUR INFLUENCES
Our musical genre navigates between blues rock, alt metal and sadcore, taking root in very diverse bands like Refused, Julie Christmas, Clutch, Lana Del Rey, Slayer, The Vintage Caravan and Get The Shot.
