Véhémence is a medieval inspired blackmetal band, which a quick glance

spilling over and becoming cheesy. There are times where I wish they’d
pulled back a bit on some of the soaring cleanish vocals, but then
they burst out and you tend to forgive and forget for a bit. It’s a
minor quibble because the song writing and execution is so good you
cannot help but like it.
