Frozen Shadows "Dans Les Bras Des Immortels" CD

Descripción 16-page booklet 150g art paper, sealed.
n outstanding release of excellent black metal in the old style drawing influences from Darkthrone, Kvist, Emperor, Shade, Taake, Burzum, and such high-quality acts.
'Dans les Bras des Immportels' is a sharpened spear of aural hate without being overly simple. They do use keyboards, but they are tastefully withdrawn and minimalistic in the mix of the songs, similar to Emperor's early work or Xasthur's later albums. The songs are agressive with fast drumming and a consistent buzzing of whirling guitars, which can compete with any european 'true' release with grace. The occasional keyboard and guitar break keep the album from being monotonous, and the vocals are above par in thier depiction of classic black metal hate. A 'wall-of-shifting-noise' approach seems to be evident is an analysis of the structure of this album, in a sense similar to Xasthur or Shining and similar dense suicidal bands. However, there are occasional arpeggiated melodies of minor and aeolian nature keeping a simple but dark hue to the tone of the album.
Easily one of the best black metal bands to come out of Quebec, and possibly one of the best currently active, they are an excellent hope of newer black metal not having lost all sense of the dark atmosphere it once commanded.
