Le bannissement

Bands grouped together in geographical cluster because of vaguely similar sounds obviously miss some nuances. So while Cantique Lépreux is classified with their brethren as Metal Noir Quebecois they’re at one end of the spectrum compared to Délétère or Forteresse (with whom they share members). While the latter two are often raving and furious Cantique Lépreux is a more atmosphere driven affair. That’s not to say there isn’t tempo and drive here, just that it’s slightly more tempered, and more so on Le Bannissement than on 2018’s Paysages Polaires or 2016’s Cendres Célestes. The sound has also gotten more polished which furthers this impression. Going back especially to their debut I miss some of the rawness but this is a great little album which has gotten a lot of plays this year. Recommended.
