Sombres Forêts -- Royaume De Glace


This band is from Montreal, Quebec and I recently came upon one of their albums by accident, and was totally blow away by what I heard. The band is called Sombres Forêts  and the record is Royaume De Glace. As far as I know they classify themselves within the "French Canadian Depressive Black Metal" realm. These seven songs (which amount to almost an hour) sound like the most chaotic, deliciously lo fi black metal imaginable, with a gentle post- rock infusion. The vocalist has one of the best and most desperate sounding  screaming voices I've ever heard.  Everyone (even if you don't normally like Black Metal) should give this one a shot.

Favorite Track:
La Nuit
