Veuillez rendre l'âme (à qui elle appartient) is the second album by French rock band Noir Désir, released in 1989. The album, produced by Ian Broudie, brought the group widespread attention, mostly because of the hit single "Aux sombres héros de l'amer." The album did well both critically and commercially, selling 330,000 copies. The French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 10th greatest French rock album (out of 100).[1]

"Aux sombres héros de l'amer" entered the Top 50 French Singles chart, which worried the group because they claimed the song was not indicative of the rest of the album. They used the fame the song brought them to win over a larger fan base.
