Dans La Joie

by Au Champ Des Morts

supported by

Stéphane Gallay Musicalement, Au champ des morts fait très fort. Là encore, le terme “intensité” s’applique. Les compositions sont denses, torturées, saturées, mais sans jamais perdre en lisibilité et en mélodie. Oui, on peut faire du black-metal mélodique; ce n’est pas le premier album du genre que je chronique, c’est juste une preuve supplémentaire. (Chroniqué sur alias.erdorin.org) Favorite track: Le Sang, La Mort, La Chute.

Alice M. Petrifying outbursts of despair that, at times, remind me of DSBM, but without loosing its punch.

Voss Mohr Each and every track is full of perfection.. Favorite track: Le Sang, La Mort, La Chute.

about

The striking first full-length from AU CHAMP DES MORTS is a richly emotive, multi-headed manifestation of finest contemporary Black Metal song-craft.

Texturally and musically diverse, this sterling album melds the prime orchestration of predecessors ANOREXIA NERVOSA with an abundant core of atmospheric influences including black-gaze, post-rock, cold wave and post-black metal.

Impassioned vocals from guitarist Stephan Bayle and bassist Cecile G are haunted by the ghosts of internal and external wars, bringing howls of dismay, chants of uprising and clean-sung litanies of personal fragility amidst corroding heritage.

Strident themes alluding to the peopled triumphalism of folk song are wrung for maximum poignancy in the face of accelerating extinction, impossible crises and imminent collapse.

Beautifully produced and mixed at Drudenhaus Studio (ANOREXIA NERVOSA, ALCEST), iridescent soundscapes and shimmering effects-laden guitars transition seamlessly into masterly blast command and powerfully affecting chord-work.

A deeply personal, vital record, Dans la Joie is an interweaving of dualities: transience and temporality, fury and fragility, aging and aesthetics, depression and delirium, dreams and dust.

Researched Icelandic bands before being able to visit the country in 2019 and found primarily Misþyrming!!!! They reignited and intensified an existing ( and somewhat on the back burner at the time ) love of heavy music. Even listened on the flight there! I have gotten into a lot of great bands because of them. hellaganj2000
