Violet Cold et l'originalité, ce sont deux entités indissociables. Anomie — le nom est si bien choisi ! — bouscule les codes. Il bouscule les codes du black metal : d'une tragique mélancolie, certes, mais une ouverture poétique grâce aux instruments traditionnels ("Anomie" et "Violet Girl"). Mais il bouscule aussi les codes sociaux : les femmes sont à l'honneur. Si Violet Cold est au chant, ce sont les femmes qui assurent la narration et donc la structure de l'album. Le résultat est touchant. Jordan Vauvert

I just discovered Blackgaze last week thanks to Marunata, and I have to say Desperate Dreams gave me emotions and made me imagine things I never did before. I don't care about mixing synth/etc with metal, all I know is we are promised desperation and it delivers, unlike 99% of the other bands promising sadness, but depressing name songs aren't enough...After listening to this I just had to finally make an account, buy this, and get back to looking for gems, they still exist.

This sounds exactly how I want black metal to sound. I have spent a long time searching for it but this is precisely what I was looking for. homocarbonis

After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful. David Fischer
