L'appel du spectre

Another new find, which I don’t quite recall how I found, nevertheless I enjoyed it and it’s been in heavy rotation since it’s release earlier this fall. It features Brouillard of the eponymous band, as well as many, many others, amongst them Sphere which was on my list a few years ago. It that could have explained my fondness for them, but this is an altogether rawer affair than any of the Brouillard’s previous bands that I’ve run across. Piecing together information from metal-archives as well as their bandcamp it seems the band (originally started as 1927) was a spur of the moment idea and a first EP recorded last year. I guess the sudden influx of inspiration stayed with them which resulted in this album. As mentioned earlier this is a fairly raw yet melodic album, I have no idea if it’s a coincidence but the cover is quite reminiscent of Spectral Wound’s 2021 album A Diabolic Thirst, and the title translates to The Spectre’s Call, and musically the two bands are not exactly oceans apart, hard to know if it’s meant to be an homage but there is a non-zero chance that if you like one you’d enjoy the other.
