PESTE NOIRE: North American Edition Of New Album Now Available + New Track Streaming


The North American edition of PESTE NOIRE’s fourth full-length album, L’Ordure à l’État Pur, is now finally available through La Mesnie Herlequin Amérique’s partners in crime, Transcendental Creations and Tour-de-Garde.

A wholly unique entity in today's watered-down and overpopulated black metal scene, Avignon, France-based PESTE NOIRE and mysterious frontman/creator DJ Famine have polarized the scene for years with controversial lyrical content and raw, peculiar and unorthodox blackened anthems. Known for infusing folk, punk, classical, polka, atmospheric elements and more into an off-kilter, maniacal sound all their own, as expected, L’Ordure à l’État Pur presents a mixed bag of filth and tradition. Wormy, muddy black metal for scoundrels, this time around, Famine and PESTE NOIRE take the listener even further into the abysses of insanity with their rampant and album.

Today, Brooklyn Vegan are assisting us in bringing this gritty slab of dark art to human populations worldwide, by streaming the nine-minute long closing track to the new album, "La condi hu." Be ready to get filthy, and stream the hymn HERE.


Stereogum previously also posted “Casse, Pêches, Fractures et Traditions” which is still streaming AT THIS LOCATION as well.


"...genre-crossing darkness that touches on black metal, ambient, shoegaze, post-punk and folk along the way..." - Brooklyn Vegan

"Here, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/main-mind Famine doing a chicken imitation, vocalist Audrey handling a faux Dove call. This time around there are also sex-torture lashes. And a three-ring circus." - Stereogum

'...leader Famine brings a rich, rotten feast to the table. Awash in delicate instrumentation, straining-at-the-leash guitar, and a heightened air of theatricality, the album’s mix of European folk and guttural eeriness -- not to mention a little waltzing, accordion-and-trombone-fueled Grand Guignol insanity -- solidifies Peste Noire’s position as one of the most uniquely horrific acts around." - A.V. Club [The Onion]

"This a stew of black metal, hard rock, punk, oi, ethereal folk, classical, industrial, electronica, polka… Famine doesn’t even limit himself to using musical instruments in his construction of music." - Long Island Press

PESTE NOIRE: French Black Metallers To Unleash New Full-Length Via Transcendental Creations


PESTE NOIRE has undoubtedly marked the landscape of underground black metal since the turn of the millennium. Anyone who's heard the band's first demos will agree: something unique was brewing in the caverns of Avignon during those early days. Now, with four full-length albums under his belt, La Sale Famine de Valfunde has brought his vile, raucous black metal from the deeps of the rural France to the streets, where the battle rages on. 


The band returns with latest L'Ordure à l'État Pur, that is, in typical PESTE NOIRE fashion, wormy, muddy black metal for derelicts, ingrates and scoundrels. A mixed bag of Filth and Tradition brought to you by the one and only, DJ Famine. Jewel case CD features a 24-page color booklet.

1. Casse, Pêches, Fractures et Traditions
