This is a classic and genre RE-defining album. Treasure this one.

Damn is black metal ever getting weird these days! No, not weird in that church burning/murder your rival band mates way. (That's soooo early 90’s!). Anyway, this French trio is led by Vindsval who is some twisted anaglam of some of the fucked-up masters of the past namely Ved Buends Ende, Godflesh, early Mayhem and thrown in maybe even some early Swans material and a bit of current era Finnish doom metal (ex: Unholy, Dolorian) or more currently Leviathan. So, add all of that together and you might have this. Learn to worship the bleakness!
((1)) Very minimalistic & ambient intro. Not too far from Robert Rich or something. Weird!
((((2))) Fast blasting black metal with vocals that are a fucked-up mix of Atilla Cshair (Mayhem, Aboyrm, et. al.) & Cronos of Venom. Some industrial bits in the breakdown. Sounds like Ved Buendes Ende mixed with Dolorian. Ends with some “death knell” bell and fades into silence.
((((3)))) Explosive & ravenous sounding, fires o’ fury blasting black metal but it does slow down a bit into some tripped out old Godflesh meets Ved Buendes Ende style. Some killer guitar work, to boot!
(4) short ambient piece that’s really 1:24 long not 1:32
((((5)))) If you layered on some feedback then you without forehand knowledge, you’d swear this was something from Godflesh’s classic “Streetcleaner” album. Lots of slow-moving to mid-tempo creepy grimness!
((((6)))) And speaking of grimness. This is so brillaintly fucked up sounding. Something like Benighted Leams mixing it up with Mayhem. Weird & kvlt!
(((((7))))) Back to the slow & lurking style as we heard on #5. Awesome Carcass-like gurgling, too. Incredible beats & crazy guitar harmonics. Overall, very claustrophobic sounding.
((8)) More of that unexpected Robert Rich worship. Weird but short actually ends at 1:53.
((((9)))) More ultra-fast necro yet spacey BM with those ubiquitous sprinkler system drum parts. Later when it gets more mid-tempo - the beats are almost bordering on some kind of “troo kvlt” trip-hop! ?! This song has to be the weirdest on the whole album - especially those vocals! Closes with an ambient outro that ends at 6:07
((((10))) More Godflesh worship...I’m almost expecting some British dude to yell out words like “Breeed! Like Rats...” or something. Trippy quasi-etheral vibe mixed with doomed-industrial and cyclical riffing. Ends aburpbtly.
(11) some weird filler for 0:18
(((((12))))) Monumentally awesome industrial doom. Droning guitars feeback then some killer J. Broadrick-like guitars. Sounds like a intro to a Neurosis or Godflesh tune. Damn, this is fucking amazing. You know the cliché about saying so much by doing so little”? Well this is a fine example of that. Proceeds to fade after 8:53.
