Behind this rather swaying title stands
the band Argile, being two members of the
quite well known French band,
Misanthrope. Musically it might be easy to compare
them to their mainband,
but still for me, Argile offers a whole lot more.
Combining avantgarde metal,
like maybe a tad old Moonspell or similar bands, and
oldschool cultmetal, in
the vein of Celtic Frost. The Celtic Frost inspiration being
quite obvious at
times, doing the trick from their "Into the Pandemonium" disc in
the later
years of the 80's. That is anyway not the whole story here, as Argile
also
creates something on their own. A atmosphere that is rare in todays
modern metal
world. It actually is just about the quality on their
performance, and the touch they
have given to it, like the music has a life
on it's own. You can't call it death or black,
you can't call it heavy,
you can't call it doom... It's all in one, being a album that you
can
listen over and over to, grasping a new moment every time.
I do have some
questionmarks when they cover a DarkThrone track "In the Shadow
of the
Horns", but they also come out of that with a reasonable result.
Argile has
done a very strong debut here, I can't think of any bands this promising
out
from France today. Vive la France!
