SANCTUAIRE "Feu Sacré." Pro-MC
Sanctuaire returns with a triumphant new offering in which its melodic black metal and ambient incarnations collide. This cassette consists once more of medieval hymns of war, hateful yet epic black metal in the pure nordic tradition, with its own twist. Catchy riffs allied with a poetry of winter and death sung in french. The cold, buzzing guitars and sparse keyboard parts add greatly to the atmosphere, with a sound that is reminiscent of classics such as « Dark Medieval Times » or « In Times before the light ». This release is interspersed with immersive ambient tracks, meditative soundscapes that reinforce this facet of the project, making it stand apart from other known Métal Noir acts. Pro-cassette with orange shell, double-sided 8 panel artwork, limited to 200 copies..

NORDMEN "Nordmen" Pro-MC
Official cassette release of the latest Nordmen EP, dating back to 2010, for the first time on cassette. This re-release includes "Enfin chez Nous" as a bonus track, an exclusive song that appeared on our LPH compilation "Sous le Lys Noir" back in 2011. This one-man band conducted by Athros (Forteresse, Starlight Ritual, Déliquescence) offers traditional, hateful black metal interspersed with memorable melodies and folk elements. The production contributes perfectly to the EP's atmosphere which oscillates between cold riffs and melodic passages, which sometimes include traditional Québécois instruments. Dynamic and relentless black metal with the true spirit, echos from the north... Pro-cassette with xerox artwork.
