Neige et Noirceur: "Gouffre Onirique et Abîmes Cosmiques" Reviewed!

Coming straight from the darkest shadows of Canada, Neige et Noirceur just released his newest album, under the name of " Gouffre Onirique et abimes Cosmiques " , where he shows that his Ambient Black Metal is increasingly powerful and well outlined.

For those unaware , the Neige et Noirceur is a one- man band , led by Zifond , which since 2005 has been taking his project forward, and gaining more and more admirers throughout the world .

And with his new work there are no differences , with a gloomy environment and a raw and dirty production, we have true hymns that echo the dark force , with na occult presence in his lyrics , combining cold and heavy instrumentals .

It is clear that we find in this work melodic parts , but in this new explosive what draws attention is the aggressiveness and speed found with blast beats, which only magnified the job.

There isn´t much to talk about and no highlights to mention because " Gouffre Onirique et abimes Cosmiques " should be heard carefully in its all.

Formation: Zifond (Vocal and all instruments)

PT:

Vindo diretamente das sombras mais obscuras do Canadá, o Neige et Noirceur acaba de lançar seu mais novo disco, sob o nome de "Gouffre Onirique et Abîmes Cosmiques", onde mostra que seu Ambient Black Metal está cada vez mais carregado e poderoso.

Para quem não sabe, o Neige et Noirceur é uma one-man band, capitaneada por Zifond, que vem desde 2005 levando seu projeto adiante, e ganhando cada vez mais admiradores pelo mundo.

E com seu novo trabalho não seria diferente, com um clima carregado e com uma produção crua e suja, temos verdadeiros hinos que ecoam a força negra, com muito ocultismo em suas letras, aliando um instrumental gélido e pesado.

Claro que encontramos partes climáticas e ambientais, mas nesse novo petardo o que chama atenção é a agressividade e velocidade encontrada, tendo em muitos momentos blast beats furiosos, que só engrandeceram o trabalho.

Não ha muito o que se falar, e nem destaques a citar, pois "Gouffre Onirique et Abîmes Cosmiques" deve ser ouvido na íntegra, e com muita atenção.

Formação: Zifond (Vocal e todos os instrumentos)

Neige et Noirceur's Hymnes de la Montagne Noire Out Now; "Hymne II - Neige Noire" Streaming At GunShyAssassin.com

Hymnes de la Montagne Noire, the newest masterpiece from one-man black metal outfit Neige et Noirceur, is now available via Sepulchral Productions. To celebrate the album's release, Sepulchral Productions has teamed with GunShyAssassin.com to stream the track "Hymne II - Neige Noire." Visit this location to listen. Hymnes de la Montagne Noire can be purchased at www.SepulchralProductions.com.

 Hymnes de la Montagne Noire sees Neige et Noirceur's mastermind Spiritus return with what is, without a doubt, his darkest and most aggressive effort to date. Largely forsaking the ambient side that made up a good part of the outfit's previous offerings in favour of more guitar-driven songs, the opus nonetheless offers the same eerie vibe fans of the band have come to expect over the years. A suffocating journey into cold and desolate landscapes. This is Raw, Hypnotic Black Metal that will appeal to fans of Paysage d'Hiver, Vinterriket and the like.

"The project's brand of oddities, perfectly-fitting synth passages, and always-appropriate production styles blend together to make for a texture of music that can be called upon on any occasion." - The Inarguable    

"A great album for dark days to come." - Undergrind 'Zine

 "With sounds that attack and sooth in equal measure and an at times sublime blend of intensity and melodies, Neige et Noirceur has produced a release that is impressively creative and willingly intrusive." - Ringmaster Reviews   

TRACK LISTING:  

Hymne I - La grande faucheuse ouvre la marche
Hymne II - Neige Noire
Hymne III - Là où demeure la sorcière des neiges
Hymne IV - L'aube des magiciens
Hymne V - Le chemin de la montagne noire
Les bûcherons (Bérurier Noir cover)

Neige et Noirceur is:

Spiritus : Everything

Neige et Noirceur is a solo project founded in 2002 by Spiritus. Neige et Noirceur is strongly inspired by Québec's vast nordic landscapes, occult and religious principles, wars and folklore, and its music ummons images of these long and dark wintery Québec nights. The gloomy, minimalstic and distressing moods clash with the cold and stormy Black Metal to give the listener an intensely hypnotic experience.

New albums from Borgne, Forteresse, & Neige et Noirceur out Today

Out today, November 9^th, on Sepulchral Productions are a trio of black metal grand slams in the form of Borgne's Entraves de l'Âme,Forteresse's Par Hauts Bois et Vastes Plaines,and Neige et Noirceur's La Seigneurie des Loups.

Forteresse - Par Hauts Bois et Vastes Plaines

After the mechanical fury of IV, Borgne is back with a more complex and torturous opus on which the martial and brutal parts are interlaced with darker, more eerie moments. On this album, Borgne mastermind Bornyhake has allied himself with Xasthur's Malefic and Vinterriket's CZ who supply very haunting keyboard pieces to the music. But don't let the somewhat more organic side of this new album fool you,Entraves de l'Âme will plunge you directly into a universe of hatred and horror...

"Borgne brainchild Bornyhake knows how to handle his guitar, riffing out some great, creepy fuzz atop the blurred drums and hateful vokills. Bravo, Borgne: you've succeeded in winning over yet another convert to your cause!" - Zero Tolerance

"Black symphonic, grandiose and epic...dark, sinister, tragic."

- Flight of Pegasus

"From the lush acoustic to pure nightmarish blackened pain. Burzum, Mayhem and Older Darkthrone fans with love this as it holds just into those Ideals as well. Bombastic..." - Absolute Zero

"I quite dig it. Reminds me of 1995 - and I mean that in the best possible way!" - Nathan T. Birk

For its third album, Forteresse takes a more hypnotic and introspective approach and offers a majestic and melancholic opus that is sure to appeal to the fans of the group. Athros' voice, Moribond's sweeping guitar melodies and that ever cold and raw sound, all trademarks of the band, are as ever-present as always, but the outfit has also developed it's atmospheric side by adding keyboards passages that add an ambient touch Forteresse's own Métal Noir Québécois. As the album in itself is but one long journey and has to be listened in its entirety to be best discovered, the group has elected to name all tracks by the same name as the album...

"The tunes here are immense. The sound is dense: melodies are keyboard-led, the guitars thicken the texture and add to the monumental weight of the music, and the vocals are a parched roar - beautiful." - Zero Tolerance

"This is full of hope and sorrow, loss and grief and epic in the undertaking that it is trying to present. Simply just blown away by this release." - Absolute Zero

Neige et Noirceur - La Seigneurie des Loups

Croix de Feu, Croix de Fer

La Seigneurie des Loups
Les Plaines de Krolok

While its split with Monarque is still fresh, Neige et Noirceur strikes again, for the first time under the Sepulchral Productions banner. Without a doubt the best release of the group to this day, La Seigneurie Des Loups features, as usual, a raw Black/Ambient breed that might bring Paysage d'Hiver to mind to certain while forging it's own identity as well as having a very Quebecois, side. Cold, dark and hypnotic, Neige et Noirceur summons images of these long, wintery Quebec nights!

"Neige et Noirceur's La Seigneurie des Loups is the first in 25 or so albums that I can't stop listening to! Music is art, and this album proves it." 9.5/10 - Sara Heitman (Blistering.com)

"Their music is pretty similar, too: although less docile this time round, Neige Et Noirceur play a very woods-and-snow nature-mystical brand of post-Burzum black metal, which is strangely easy on the ear despite the rasping aggression." - Zero Tolerance

"La Seigneurie des Loups offers us 6 deeply atmospheric, emotionally intense and certainly dark tracks reminiscent of a mixture of early Burzum, Markduk blastbeats and In The Woods, both in their styles as well as in a surprisingly (for a Quebecer) Scandinavian sound." -Battle Helm
