A year ago, Metal lost Sindre Nedland, one of its greatest singers. Not the most famous, but one of the most dazzling and moving of his generation. His performance on ‘Solemn’ is mindblowing and heartbreaking. I will be in Paris to applaud In Vain and perpetuate his memory and legacy 🖤

🎶 UNBURIER 🇬🇧 « As Time Awaits » EP Very inspired and scorching Technical Thrash/Death Metal. Eagerly waiting for more !

🎶 NECROFIER 🇺🇸 « Transcend Into Oblivion » Scandinavian-influenced Black Metal, spiced up with a Texan flavour. It burns, it tears, it blasts, it's superbly played and it's very good.

MY 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ FAVORITE SONGS 🎶 (No particular ranking) 1️⃣5️⃣9️⃣ ORPHANED LAND 🇮🇱 « Ocean Land (The Revelation) » No politics here. I've always loved this band, their music, their messages of peace and brotherhood among peoples. We need that more than ever.

▶️ NOW PLAYING 💎 DORMANT ORDEAL « Tooth and Nail » M🤯NSTER 🔥

💥 🆕 FRENCH TOUCH 🔵⚪️🔴 Sorties Metal françaises de la semaine (Courtesy of @kmanriffs.bsky.social : toutes les nouveautés du monde entier 🌏)

🎶 SLAGMAUR 🇳🇴 « Hulders Ritual » Shrill, dissonant guitars, unsettling keyboards, haunting choirs, chilling atmospheres... Avant-garde, certainly, but equally rooted in the 1990s. A weird but delightful ritual.

MY 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ FAVORITE SONGS 🎶 (No particular ranking) 1️⃣5️⃣8️⃣ SICK OF IT ALL 🇺🇸 « Scratch the Surface »

▶️ NOW PLAYING 💎 SEPULCHRAL CURSE « Crimson Moon Evocations » Exactly one year ago today, this masterpiece was released.

🎶 TOWARD THE THRONE 🇫🇷 « Midnight » In an oversaturated and highly codified genre (melodic Death/Black), it’s difficult to stand out. But by playing on contrasts, always combining emotion with brutality, this French band displays remarkable uniqueness and a strong personality. Brilliant.

Like all Metalheads, I love wearing clothes with my favorite album covers on them. But I think I like it even more when it's understated and chic 🤩 @urneband.bsky.social

🎶 DRAWN INTO DESCENT 🇧🇪 « Onrust » Four tracks, four impressive descents into melancholy, four relentless and fascinating musical crescendos. Magnificent Post/Atmospheric Black Metal.

🎶 CRYPTIC SHIFT 🇬🇧 « Overspace & Supertime » Imagine you're going on a trip to space, only allowed to take a few albums with you, and you listen to Death, Metallica, Atheist and Gorguts non-stop in an extended space-time continuum. You'll come back with stars in your eyes.

It was definitely a Black Friday. But without discount (in terms of quality).

🎶 INCANDESCENCE 🇨🇦 « Hors Temps » If, as they say, hell exists (« l’enfer existe »), it has a little taste of heaven. Raw, melancholic, incandescent Black Metal featuring multi-instrumentalist Philippe Boucher (Beyond Creation, Chthe’ilist, Dissimulator). Hors temps.

MY 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ FAVORITE SONGS 🎶 (No particular ranking) 1️⃣5️⃣2️⃣ SAMAEL 🇨🇭 « Rain »

🎶 GALIBOT 🇫🇷 « Euch'Mau Noir bis » Black and raw like coal. Galibot is the name given to children who were sent to work in the mines of northern France. And a fascinating melodic, industrial (in the historical sense of the term) Black Metal band. A must-listen.

So here is my new treasure 💎 for my future museURNE. Test pressing of « Setting Fire to the Sky » signed 😳🥹 I will cherish it, just like the memory of this unforgettable evening. 🙏 @urneband.bsky.social

🎶COSCRADH 🇮🇪 « Carving the Causeway to the Otherworld » Evil, chaotic and chilling Black/Death haunted by ancient spirits, with a stunning vocal performance. An immersive and impressive experience.

First headline show in Paris. 🇫🇷 Not the last, that's for sure ! The atmosphere in the venue was incredible. Their fanbase is growing and becoming more passionate with each show. One day I'll say, "I was there." 🔥🥹 @urneband.bsky.social
