pinkytheent Truly the breath of the crypt. Icy, despairing, triumphant, and beckoning. Favorite track: L'espérance, ou le clinquant de sa ferraille dans mes ténèbres..

Slug. The soundtrack to being buried alive??

Boris von Boris Full of fury and sorrow, completely unhinged but also very focused. French as fuck. Incredible album. Favorite track: Est-ce que la vie est belle....

pinkytheent Wow, what an opus! The band maximizes black metal: tremendous operatic melody, huge sound, biting ferocity and sorrow. I really love what feels like a wide range of dramatic melodious songwriting Lure packs into the black metal framework, feeling romantic and bereft as much as evil and monochrome. If their previous work was a breath of the crypt, this record is a vast snowy plain of cutting icy wind across which you crawl, frozen and forlorn under the heavy blue clouds of winter twilight, alone. Favorite track: Open Wounds.
