FROZEN SHADOWS "Dans les bras des immortels" Pro-MC
In the late nineties Québec was still awaiting its first true black metal album to be released. There was almost no one playing black metal yet over here back in those distant times, however there was Frozen Shadows. The follow up to their ferocious 1996 "Empire de glace" demo was their debut full length album: "Dans les bras des immortels". An opus that represents well its era with glorious melodies, atmospheric acoustic passages, epic synths, insanely fast drumming and furious vocals. Sang both in French and English, this album has a unique atmosphere and treads the path for all Québec black metal hordes that followed. Les productions Hérétiques finally reissued this highly important and timeless North American black metal classic. A totally mandatory masterpiece that deserves to be in any respectable black metal collection.

ULVESANG "Ulvesang" Pro-MC
Born in the ocean flanked forests of Nova Scotia on Canada’s East Coast, Ulvesang came into existence as the collective effort of three individuals who shared a love of atmospheric and melancholic music. Recognizing an unfortunate lack of adventurous local dark folk music, and raised on a diet of classic Neofolk, Black Metal atmospherics and bizarre occultism, the Ulvesang collective set about crafting their first suite of songs as a public offering. Recommended for fans of Ulver and Empyrium.

CANTIQUE LÉPREUX "Cendre céleste" Pro-MC
Created in 2014, Cantique Lépreux feeds on black metal from all eras, reveling in its essence. Inspired by the wilderness of Québec, the occult, death, and fear, Cantique Lépreux creates music that is at times grim, at other times melancholic; a work born of passion, paying homage to the legends of black metal.
