NEIGE ET NOIRCEUR
Philosophie des Arts occultes

Nuovo album per i Neige et noirceur, band di punta della nuova scena black metal canadese.
New album for Neige et noirceur, rapresentative band of the new canadian scene.

 

The fourth full-length of Neige et Noirceur sees the band return with it's raw, ice-cold and ambient Black Metal - and a few new twists along the way. While Spiritus' style remains instantly recognizable, "Gouffre Onirique et Abîmes Cosmiques" is also probably the closer the band has ever come to the "classic" sound of the early '90s, courtesy of epic and melancholic riffs and keyboard parts. Definitely a release not to miss for fans of the band and of atmospheric Black Metal.
 

Not one to keep repeating himself, Zifond pushes Neige et Noirceur over the edge of abrasiveness. Focusing on the Great War of 1914-18, Les Ténèbres Modernes will plunge you in this mechanical and suffocating hell with its alloy of vicious Black Metal and corrosive ambient passages. Also worth noting are the vocals of Schimaera (aka Chimère Noire), who joins the ranks of Division N&N for this assault…

Three tracks, 40 minutes! 
Not the first time that this band surprises everybody with unexpected kind of releases... 

The dominant role in this album is indeed title track "Interstellar Enigmatic Throne": a 26 minutes massive suite with a monolithic doomish and haunting pace! 

"Les Brumes Éternelles" is an EP divided in 2 chapters of 18 minutes each. The first one is atmospheric black metal with N&N's unique sonorities. Juno-60 sounds intertwined with bleack and distant melodies, creating a sonic storm over which Spiritus screams its invocations. The second part is an echo from the first. An alternative elite dark ambient take which is sure going to be the perfect soundtrack for the coming long winter nights.
