About
Novelists (often stylised as Novelists FR) are a French metalcore band from Paris, formed in 2013 by brothers Amael and Florestan Durand. They released three studio albums on Arising Empire and SharpTone Records, then joined Out of Line Music in 2020. After two vocalist changes, the group introduced Camille Contreras in 2023, released the EP Okapi in 2024, and published their fifth studio album, CODA, in 2025, through their artist-run label ACKOR Music.
