Univers Zero

Univers Zero is a Belgian avant-garde chamber-rock ensemble founded and led by drummer/composer Daniel Denis, associated with the Rock in Opposition movement and noted for dark, dissonant, chamber-influenced compositions.

Reviews and public sources note Daniel Denis as the group's central figure, early releases include 1313 and Heresie, Ceux De Dehors (1981) is widely praised, and Roger Trigaux (early member) later formed Present. The group blends classical chamber instruments (violin, viola, bassoon, clarinets) with rock dynamics and has a reputation for bleak, complex music.

DeBaser hosts a handful of passionate reviews of Univers Zero, praising their dark, chamber-inflected avant-garde rock. Reviews highlight early classics (1313, Heresie, Ceux De Dehors) and later works (Heatwave, Clivages). Daniel Denis is repeatedly noted as the group's driving force.
