MANDIBULE is an experimental progressive metal band based in France that was formed by lead guitarist Guillame Fenoy in 2008. Fenoy fleshed out his lineup with bassist Romain Gayral, drummer Sebastien Touzeau, and guitarist Sofiene Yahiaoui. Gayral wanted to make music he wanted to hear, so he created the band based on the concept of being able to listen to music from a number of different perspectives. He created complex and multifaceted compositions based in geometry, multi-part harmonies, dissonance, and stacked sounds to make up the band's debut album ''Praxis'', which was released in 2011.
Mandibule takes heavy influence from a number of experimental and progressive band such as Tool, Gojira, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta and others to create a dense and powerful sound.
