Le Gardien Des Clefs

Maison Planàterre Merci à David Verret (alias Bardunor, à l'origine des projets Hiverna, Demain Wendigo, et membre des groupes Csejthe et Monarque) de nous ramener un album de Crépuscule en 2021, le précédent paru en 2011 nous a apporté des trames musicales géniales. Sur cet album, l'ajout du piano permet de marquer la différence entre les moments plus métals ou plus mélodiques. Cette différence est particulièrement présente sur le Titre 'La Clef Noire', où sont juxtaposées harmonies, brusqueries et puissance.. Favorite track: La Clef Noire.

about

A journey from the unfathomable depth of Cosmos to the forlorn realm of magic and myths - an ode towards the endless night. After almost ten years of silence, the one-man project Crépuscule finally makes a glorious return with his second full length. Arguably as one of the lesser known hidden gems among the already prolific Metal Noir Quebecois circle, Crépuscule was often referred to as the solo project of the multi-talented Bardunor (Monarque, Hiverna, ex-Cesjthe), which is one of the reasons it got overshadowed. However, music-wise, the second offering of Crépuscule to a great extent not only marks as a huge leap forward compared to the debut, but also expands beyond the typical Québécois sound of crystal storm with touches of avant-garde eeriness. Titled Le Gardien Des Clefs (The Keeper of Keys), this album is built up as a hymn of nocturnal mysteries, from dusk to dawn, with four songs each dedicates to four different keys: how each song varies in styles and moods and echoes with the overall theme is astonishingly captivating, with experimentation overlaps the surging and triumphant Québécois romance, nebulous while majestic veil of synth ambience, and those unexpected passages of French avant-garde --- an album that would surely justify Crépuscule as one of most unique projects hailing from MNQ. It is an honor that Pest Productions will release this gem in slipcase cds later this May.

A Diabolic Thirst

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 11 fans who also own “Le Gardien Des Clefs”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert
