Marquis de Sade was a seminal French post-punk / new wave band, founded in 1977 in Rennes by singer Philippe Pascal and guitarist Frank Darcel. The band was highly influential and spearheaded the Rennes rock scene. They recorded two albums, before splitting in 1981 into Marc Seberg and Octobre.
The band reformed in 2017 for reunion concerts and recorded a new studio album under the name after Philippe Pascal was found dead in September 2019.
