Epheles - Les Anges de la Dernière Scène (1999)

Atmospheric, lo-fi French black metal. Cold guitars, drum machines, cheesy keyboards, and banshee vox. Though their albums are all good to great, this demo is arguably Epheles' finest hour. Maybe their grandiose vision actually benefits from a rawer approach; maybe they were simply writing more memorable material at the time. Whatever it is, Les Anges de la Dernière Scène feels like a classic.
