Recommendation: Epheles - Souviens-Toi

[Krilons Resa]

Well, since either a) nobody but J. checks the general BM thread, or b) nobody really gives a shit, I figured I'd make a dedicated thread for this band. I know most of you here at RC are into this type of stuff, even if it sucks (ie Alcest)....so I figured I'd drop these fuckers on your collective asses. Hailing from none other than France, this is black metal of the highest caliber. Each song seems to pull you through a journey, displaying different elements from classical to doomy/minor to majestic to downright chaos. Very atmospheric. The vocals of Nephtys are top-notch as well. The L'ombre de la Croix EP kicks major ass too. Check it out:

Tracklist

1. Le Linceul De La Mort 7:49

4. Les Siècles D'Ignorance 6:54
5. To The Threshold Of Nothingness 7:05
6. Ultima Venia 9:37
7. Souviens-Toi 2:39

Total playing time 48:04

Doomcifer, you faggot, this is not related to your thread but I don't feel like making a "you faggot, get in here" thread tonight so:

Do you know what the exacty ordering instructions are for DOBD tickets? Brenner says they have a few left but he told me "just follow the original instructions" and I can't find them. $45 for all the days but what about shipping?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Here is the official DOBD forum: http://www.hellridemusic.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=91

You should find the info there nignog. No shipping costs.

Funny this thread popped up, cause Le Dernier Pardon (same album as this, different name due to label disputes, and really awful packaging [skinny CD case, what looks to be a CD-R with a label slapped on it, and no booklet, just a picture sleeve]) just showed up in my mail today, and it is quite awesome.

 

[Doom]

Yeah, I think we get that you don't like Alcest already :Smug:

 

[Krilons Resa]

I dont care if you GET it, or not. I think they fucking suck.

I'm not sold on the tracks, but it seems like there is something there, If I feel like wasting my money on gay shit, I'll be sure to pick it up.

 

[Tranquillian]

I haven't taken the time to really sit down with it, but what I've noticed so far is that it's certainly a competent release within it's genre.

Ordered it a few days ago, will report.
I'm in great need of some reliable French black metal right now, after DsO got lost in space and Alcest was booked as headliner for the next gay pride...

There's always Peste Noire's new album. I think.

Edit: Regardless of how unapolagetically gay the new Alcest is, I fucking love it.
