![L'appel du spectre](/gfx/1373627.jpg)

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.
