Heresie is the second album by Belgian RIO band Univers Zero released in 1979. (Reissued in 2010 as a remix with bonus track) It features heavy use of dissonance and dark, brooding and extremely complex melodies.
Its title is often written as Hérésie (because in lowercase heresie like a centuries-old version of the word, whereas in another edition of the album, the spelling HERESIE looks it follows a habit of dropping accents when using uppercase, even in today's French).
Track listing "La Faulx" (Daniel Denis) – 25:18 "Jack the Ripper" (Daniel Denis, Roger Trigaux) – 13:29 "Vous le saurez en temps voulu" (Roger Trigaux) – 12:56 "Chaos hermétique" (Roger Trigaux) – 11:52 (bonus track included on the 2010 remaster, recorded in 1975)
"La Faulx" translates as "The Scythe", although it is using an archaic spelling from Middle French; "Vous le saurez en temps voulu" translates as "You'll Know It in Due Course"; "Chaos hermétique" translates as "Hermetic Chaos".
