Dernière Volonté (French for ‘last will” or “last wish” before execution) is a controversial project of French musician Geoffroy D. (assisted by Pierre Pi). Earlier work is seen as martial industrial, dark ambient or martial ambient, emphasising atmosphere, rhythm, and historical samples, rather than vocals and melody. Recent work, from Les Blessures de L’ombre (2003), is typically seen as military pop, with verse-chorus song structures and pop melodies.

Dernière Volonté is controversial for its considerable use of fascist imagery, style, and voice samples, and of themes from European fascism and the Second World war. The first album Obéir Et Mourir (To Obey and Die, 1998 cassette, remastered and re-released in 2005 as CD), includes the tracks Le Travail Rend Libre (=Arbeit Macht Frei, the slogan on the gates of Auschwitz), La Force Par La Joie (=Strength Through Joy = Kraft durch Freude, the mass leisure organisation of the Nazi Party), Roma 39 Axe II (Rome 1939 Axis II) and A. Speer (Albert Speer, Hitlers’s architect, and later Reich Minister for Armaments and War Production.

Devant Le Miroir (2006) quotes the French writer Pierre Drieu La Rochelle. Anti-communist, anti-capitalist and anti-democratic, Drieu La Rochelle was initially an advocate of a ‘European’ right, and European federalism (excluding the Soviet Union).

DLM is too poppy. I'm a little embarrassed to say that because I'm certain I've listened to it the most, but it's the sort of predictable instant-gratification verse-chorus pop music that rots your teeth out after too much consumption. Too infectious for it's own good and sort of outlives its worth once you suppress the urge to mouth the lyrics of the songs or sing along in some kind of borderline-retarded down syndrome imitation of French. Les Blessures de L'ombre was happier medium between that and the usual martial sound.

The French language really grates at my nerves most of the time (as such, I kept pushing this to the end of my recommended artists queue), but this is excellent -- I am ashamed it took me so long to give it a proper listen.

Whoa, last time I recall listening to them they must've had 50,000 something plays. I knew they were good but wow, this is excellent. I'm glad to see how many listeners and such there are, they deserve it. Great.
