Remarkable instrumental French trio that’s hard to classify. Their roots are in black metal (all three were in Diamatregon), but they play a sort of exploratory (like The Julie Mittens), heavy and rhythmic (like Guapo) propulsion prog (they’ve gigged with Faust and Magma), with touches of dark psychedelia in the washes of guitar (like some of Davis Redford Triad or even Caspar Brotzmann Massaker). Really well done and impressive. When I bitch about how Metallica have petered out and are running on creative fumes, while graybeard metallers shrug and stretch with an apologetic “It’s OK, I guess” at their new music, THIS is the kinda shit I’m trying to draw attention to: new sounds that stretch the boundaries of metal from artists that are following their muses and taking chances, not whipped by management into pretending to care so they can pay for personal chefs and shopping sprees in Paris. Hrmph.
