Thorvin Vear appears on the Poilus Online compilation with the track "Vénus Vétuste", the title song of the upcomming album which should be released later this year.

This compilation aiming to promote Québec bands offers Thorvin Vear the incredible opportunity to appear next to well known bands such as Ghoulunatics and Magister Dixit. Also appearing on the compilation is Cradle to Grave whose track was recorded and mixed by the canadian metal ledgend Devin Townsend.

It has been said that the next Thorvin Vear album would be named The Drone Project, but it was canceled. It was almost a work completed, when Thorvin felt the the qualilty and the style of the drone project weren't up to what Thorvin Vear is. The album would have been 50 minutes of very electronic music with mostly english lyrics.

Vénus Vétuste will have a colder sound, much like Oubli. It's still gonna be very different from the first album. Electric guitars won't show up and metal influences will be scarce. Other styles such as Darkwave, Neo-Classical and even some Neo-Folk will be represented. The vocals will stay the same.

There is no official release date for the moment. About half an hour of matériel is completed, and a few other tracks are works in progress. Two sample songs are available.
