Wow, I don't get the black metal at all on that CD. The EP, Le Secret is black metal, but Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde is almost like a totally different band, and the black metal is totally gone.

This album is so emotional. Makes me feel good.

What I meant is that the band comes from bm and you can still hear some trace of the past :)

Do you listen to black metal too?
 
I'm extremely picky when it comes to black metal. I'm not a fan of the over all style, but there are a couple of bands I enjoy at time. I can't get into the raw "true" style of BM. It's just too chaotic for my taste, and I like a good polished production.

I am the same way. I like Arcturus, Burzum Filosophem (that one only the rest suck) Immortal Battles in the North and Pure Holocaust and some other random stuff, but mostly, not for me either. Especially in the last 5 years, I just don't like any of it.
