netra 

netra depicts nature fading and urban depression since 2003. 

Drawing its musical path between extreme metal, trip-hop and alternative rock, netra (read "emptiness" in Breton language) is definitely progressive. "emlazh" was the first effort of netra in 2005, it was released under the shape of an autoproduced 4-tracks demo CD and barely distributed here and there, mostly to close worthy people.

In 2010, netra signed with Hypnotic Dirge Records for the release of its first album, "Mélancolie Urbaine", initially recorded five years ago.  To prepare for the release, netra released its first official video clip for the track "La Page" on November 7th, 2010 on the free HDR Compilation album. Finally "Mélancolie Urbaine" was released on December 16th, 2010 to high acclaim from listeners and the press around the world, with some writers expressing that it was one of the best releases of 2010.

Currently, netra is busy writing and recording the as-of-yet untitled followup album to "Mélancolie Urbaine" for a release in early 2012. 

PRESS CLIPS 

 netra unveil a dark post-rock space voyage which anxiously and frailly sways between winding lead guitar soloing and sickly black metal tones.
-Metal Reviews

This one man act from France has a very eclectic sound
which shows he must be a very diverse listener as well. While it can easily be labeled as black metal, there are too many outside influences that deserve recognition as well, such as heavy blues influence in the melodies, Goth rock atmosphere and even trip-hop vocals. I really enjoy this because of how organic and non-gimmicky it sounds and I appreciate someone going out of the conventions of “what’s metal” to not only incorporate a sub-genre of hip-hop (and no, not throwing in party rap or Eminem like many mallcore bands do) but prove that it can be done tastefully.
-The Werkshed

a truly hypnotic combination of Alternative Rock and Doom Metal with a progressive edge to it; solo project from France that will release its debut album on HDR this year.
