Deafhaven – Lonely People with Power

Laurent Bellemare — Thu, 29 May 2025 02:11:09 +0000

Under the Californian sun, it’s hard to believe that black metal could be the ideal soundtrack to any kind of summer solitude. Yet that’s the paradox of Lonely People With Power, an album that reaffirms Deafheaven’s place after a series of opuses that amounted to an identity crisis for the American quintet. After revolutionizing the […]

Deafheaven – Lonely People With Power

Stephan Boissonneault — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 21:40:24 +0000

Deafheaven’s Lonely People With Power sees the band returning to their heavier roots, offering a blend of black metal’s ferocity and the atmospheric, expansive soundscapes that have come to define their work. While the album retains their signature sonic intensity, it also delves into a more emotionally raw and introspective territory, with sprawling arrangements that […]

Catacombes – Les Âmes Oubliées

Patrice Caron — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 15:05:43 +0000

Active for almost 10 years, Catacombes plow the cemetery soil with a French-language black metal that, without really changing since their first album, has become more mastered, particularly with the current line-up, who delivered the excellent Des Glaires et des Briques in 2022, and who put a shovelful of earth back into the ground with […]

Mitochondrion – Vitriseptome

Laurent Bellemare — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:02:04 +0000

In 13 years, anyone who was impressed by Parasignosis (2011) back in the day may have forgotten that in the shadows, Vancouver’s occult Mitochondrion was preparing a new assault. Lasting almost an hour and a half, Vitriseptome is sinister, enigmatic and reiterates the virtues of patience. An album as ambitious as Vitriseptome really does take a decade to conceive. Beyond the […]

Doedsmaghird – Omniverse Consciousness (Top Albums 2024)

Laurent Bellemare — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 16:49:21 +0000

Trap rhythm over furious tremolo and black metal blast beats? No one could have wished for such a combination until they heard “Adrif into Collapse,” the eighth track from Omniverse Consciousness. This happy blend is just one of the many surprises in store on the debut album from Doedsmaghird, a satellite project that came out of nowhere, courtesy of […]

Convulsing – Perdurance (Top Albums of 2024)

Laurent Bellemare — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 16:24:51 +0000

I’m convinced that a one-man band cannot truly excel without a certain artistic intransigence, one that leaves no room for the contributions of others. A recent conversation with Convulsing’s creator, Brendan Sloan, indeed confirmed that the project results from a desire to realize his vision without compromise. Through the now-familiar aesthetic of dissonant death metal, Perdurance reveals […]

Enslaved au Théâtre Beanfield

Rédaction PAN M 360 — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 02:36:31 +0000

Enslaved est un groupe maître du black metal norvégien/Viking metal qui, depuis le début des années 1990, a constamment adopté une approche avant-gardiste sans jamais sacrifier ses racines extrêmes. Émergés à l’aube de la deuxième vague du genre, leur son est marqué par un changement constant, des compositions complexes et un large éventail d’instruments ; […]

Alcest – Les chants de l’Aurore

Laurent Bellemare — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 19:05:00 +0000

Almost 20 years ago, the young French band Alcest released their EP Le secret, a proposal that brought together the lightness and gentleness of shoegaze with the darkness and strident melodies of black metal. Today, the duo has perfected this aesthetic, delivering their seventh full-length, all light and nostalgia. Mastering chiaroscuro also means being able to […]

Darkthrone – It Beckons Us All…….

Laurent Bellemare — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 18:24:15 +0000

In the underground world of extreme metal, as elsewhere, artists tend to innovate by looking forwards, not backwards. Yet it’s the opposite path that the indefatigable Norwegian duo Darkthrone have chosen to take. Always going against the grain, and far removed from the raw black metal of yesteryear, the band draws its inspiration from the […]

Folterkammer – Weibermacht

Laurent Bellemare — Tue, 07 May 2024 22:02:05 +0000

Creolized languages are said to be the result of a brutal clash between two seemingly incompatible cultures. Folterkammer have certainly taken this gamble, unscrupulously mixing relatively conformist black metal with a Bel Canto straight out of an Italian opera… sung in German! The result works surprisingly well. The tracks, though underpinned by guitar tremolos and […]
