BORGNE: Far beyond of "Royaume des Ombres"

Swiss misanthropic black metallers "Borgne" have released the newest full length album named "Royaume des Ombres" on June 12th through Sepulchral Productions. Im not going to write / think of the physical form of music of the album "but, its soul" and this work is great.

Ill clarify here that I am not tied to any particular style of music, I like music, period (I'm no purist and I am proud of it anyway). In fact I support the idea that there are only two kinds of music, good and bad! In general, I think that music, without distinction of gender, is so important to the life of a person, as the basic foundation in human growth. The knowledge to appreciate a good song is the same has appreciating a good painting, or a good book or movie, this is intimately related to the domain of emotions that one particular individual has.

"Royaume des Ombres" is a magnificent work that can mess with my emotions "temperament, personality and motivation," with my human nature, as a set of characteristics described by philosophy, including ways of acting and thinking, that all human beings have in common, even misanthropes, who are by nature averse to human beings and human nature in general "a misanthrope is someone who is suspicious of humanity in a generalized way." The word comes from the Greek  Misanthropia, the union of the terms μίσος (hate) and άνθρωπος (man, human being).

In fact I was fortunate to be among the first with the privilege to hear this fantastic art (music) which is basically to combine sounds and silence and there is no doubt that music history is intertwined with the history of the development of intelligence and human culture and as noted in "Royaume des Ombres".

Well, if you think of cinema as a cultural artifact created by certain cultures that are reflected in it and that, in turn, affect them, here we could say that this movie has no country ... "The world is its country" and do not need subtitles. I like by principle to relate major musical works and cinematographic works "Royaume des Ombres" fit neatly into the Oscars winner Crash by Paul Haggis.

"In LA nobody touches you. We're always behind metal and glass. I think we feel such a lack of touch, we hit each other just to feel something." (Crash Phrase). From here, Crash is a film that shows a portrait of a society marked by prejudice. This, however, is not reflected in the naive formula black-white, but is shown as a colorful and complex reality: black, white, muslim, latino, poor, rich.

I never gave and will never give notes to musical works but this time I feel like saying "Royaume des Ombres" shoots the scale ... 11 to 10. Let us wait anxiously upcoming works of art.

Forteresse To Unleash Crépuscule d'Octobre On November 22nd Via Sepulchral Productions

After exploring more atmospheric avenues, Forteresse returns to a more traditional and aggressive breed of Black Metal for its fourth album. Resounding as always with a firm "Québécois" identity and filled with the piercing leads and hypnotic riffs that have become the band's trademark, Crépuscule d'Octobre is a new epic chapter in Forteresse's history!

Crépuscule d'Octobre will be available on November 22nd through Sepulchral Productions.There will also be a "Die Hard" edition of the release available. Limited to 100 copies, this edition will come with an exclusive long-sleeved shirt designed by Tony Roberts (pictured below).



Silence d'octobre
Le triomphe des douze
La lame du passé
Mon esprit rôde toujours
Spectres du solstice
Enfants du Lys



Forteresse is :
Athros : Vocals
 Moribond : Guitars, bass
Fiel : Drums, keyboards

Forteresse was born on an irrelevant day of 2006 in the ruins of Montréal. In this age where few remember their ancestors and the honored traditions that have forged La Belle Province, Forteresse's music stand as an hommage to ancient traditions and to all those that long to see the banner of liberty rise at last. PATRIOTIC, EPIC BLACK METAL

Sepulchral Productions to Release Neige et Noirceur's Hymnes de la Montagne Noire

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.


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 9th, 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

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
