Nord - Nord (2001)


Epic, homespun Québécois solo black metal. Drum machine, sporadic vocals, and hypnotic, surprisingly pretty leads and progressions from a fuzzy analogue haze of guitars and crystalline keyboards.

[This is the 2006 reissue version, which features 2 bonus tracks inserted into the original track order, stretching the album to 70+ minutes, but they're good so fuck it.]

Track listing:
1. Introduction
2. L'Homme
3. L'arbre qui écoute
4. Comme le disait Figaro
5. L'Ame de la foret [bonus]
6. Sagesse Oubliée
7. La nature donne et reprend
8. Sombre Jour [bonus]
9. Interlude
10. Déception partie 1: Croisade
11. Déception partie 2: Hypocrisie
12. Déception partie 3: Purification
13. La marche vers l'inconnu...

  2. Really good, kinda underrated black metal. I have a few of their tapes, so this is inspiring me to re-listen. Thanks!
