French Post-Hardcore/Alt-Metal Breakout Maps Unveil New Music Video from ‘Nulle Part’

French post-hardcore act MAPS AND FOILS closes out a hectic 2025 with the potent new video for “Nulle part”—the track that originally set the blueprint for their concept album.

Experience the raw, downtuned weight and heavy, drifting mood of their sound, perfectly captured by the unique emotional punch of the French language.

“Nulle part” confronts the brutal reality: being an artist dragged into the role of performer, marketer, and content engine all at once. It’s dissonant hardcore mirroring a slow collapse, set to images of ghost ships and broken oars.

Catch the self-produced video and album now. This is the sound of tension and angst, delivered in a raw, unhinged manner. They’re not slowing down.

Maps And Foils is an alternative/metal/post-hardcore band from Paris, founded in 2016 by Tristan (vocals, guitar) and Thomas (guitar, backing vocals). Over the years, they have explored a wide musical spectrum, releasing two full-length albums—#1 and Less Is Mort—as well as diverse projects, including the grindcore EP Les Anathèmes and the documentary At Spes Non Fracta.

Following Thomas’s departure, the band evolved into a power-trio, with Ewen on bass and Lucas on drums. In 2024, with its renewed line-up, M&F released the EP Dies Irae, a prelude to their next full-length record.

In 2025, Maps And Foils returned with Après l’éclipse, the first single from their third album, Nulle Part. This conceptual record delves into themes of wandering and self-destruction, blending dissonant hardcore with ethereal melodies to amplify its introspective lyrics. Marking the end of an era with the original lineup, the album also signals a new chapter for the band. With Antoine now on bass, Maps And Foils is stronger than ever, ready to bring their latest work to life on stage.
