Peste Noire – La sanie des siècles : Panégyrique de la dégénérescence (2005)

April 11, 2023

A lot of things can be said about Peste Noire but there can be no denying that their debut record isn’t one of the most intense black metal recordings ever put to tape. The production is a fantastic blend of raw and audible, and the vocals are out of this world. Some of the best I’ve heard in the genre, up there with Bethlehem, with intense storms of blasts carrying the screeching along.

At times fragile, and at times uncompromising, this is a document on how to do a black metal record. Super intense shit.
