E’ giunto il tempo di scrivere qualche riga nei confronti del primo album del progetto francese Verlies intitolato Le Domaine Des Hommes. Come sempre più spesso accade le buone cose rimangono confinate ai margini, poco considerate dalla “platea che conta” anche in un genere elitario come il black metal. Ma solo lavori come questo finiscono a “pungolare” in maniera adeguata l’animo, dischi capaci di “parlare” da ...

Continuously unearthing exciting and edgy Black Metal that acts like it has a purpose, Verlies debut album further solidifies that strange, experimental edge of the style that´s rooted in France. From the city of Lille, comes a band that has a more claustrophobic character in contrast to the prominent “Shoegaze” wave that´s been in focus the last few years.

Originally self-released, “Le Domaine Des Hommes” secures a c...

Verlies è il nome del progetto di N. (chitarra e voce) nato dapprima come un atto solista e che ha pian piano mutato forma, divenendo una vera e propria band con l'ingresso di T. (basso), V. (chitarra; precedentemente appannaggio di F.) e Psycho (batteria). La prima uscita di questa creatura è datata 2014 e intitolata "Le Domaine Des Hommes", album che probabilmente ai più attenti fruitori di certe sonorità black metal atm...

Translated as ‘loss’, France’s Verlies is a new three piece act, and Les Domaines Du Hommes was self released back in 2014, but the re-release has been picked up fittingly by Hypnotic Dirge Records. So the combination o the band name, country of origin and the label should clue you in as yo what to expect here.

Yes, depressive, but layered and typically ambitious and atmospheric French black metal is on tap here, and it’s go...

Verlies is black metal band from France with their debut album. Yes but there is so much more to this than you might expect from such a simple sentence. Naiwan or N from Lille in France has been involved in a couple of other projects such as Desperation Angel and it is very obvious on first listen to this new act that he is an accomplished and versatile musician who doesn’t go down any formulaic or particularly conventional routes....

Le premier album des français de Verlies se nomme Le Domaine Des Hommes et vient de sortir comme coproduction via le label Hypnotic Dirge Records et Throats Productions. Avant de rentrer dans les détails de la chronique, voici deux petites réflexions. D’abord il faut savoir que Le Domaine Des Hommes est sorti d’abord en numérique et ensuite en format physique via deux labels, le mexicain Throats Productions et le canadien H...

Debut albums can be a difficult proposition. On one hand, they can show band with some real talent in a completely surprising affair. On the other side, the bands can show a lot of promise but ultimately fall short of making an impact. Luckily for the French project Verlies, the former proves to be true. Mostly a one-man act (save for some guest studio performances) this full-length comes out of nowhere and creates one of the better...

Atmospheric black metal is a genre known for a fairly specific style: shrieking vocals, clean leads soaking in reverb, and guitar riffs that create crushing walls of noise. Giants in the genre, like Wolves In The Throne Room or Weakling, pioneered this blend of ambience and aggression in the early 2000s, and 15 years later, the genre still sounds pretty much the same. Sure, there are plenty of groups that have taken the sound and t...

Vandaag een wat oudere release, van begin vorig jaar. In januari van 2014 kwam Le Domaine des Hommes uit, het eerste album van Verlies. Deze Franse band maakt een soort post-metal vermengt met blackmetal. Let op: geen post-black dus (even lekker zeveren), want daarvoor hangt het geheel te veel naar blackmetal toe.

Post-metal en blackmetal dus. Verlies heeft duidelijk geluisterd naar de grootheden uit het eerste genre, maar heeft toch meer ...

If there is one label that seems to be able to sift through the underground to find metal bands doing off the beaten path stuff, it’s Hypnotic Dirge. French avant-garde Verlies is their latest acquisition, in collaboration with Throats Productions. Le Domaine des Hommes was originally released independently through Bandcamp, but is now getting a proper, label-backed release.

Le Domaine des Hommes has an eclectic mix of genres wit...

Black metal is a genre that contains a set of seemingly-rigid guidelines that are constantly distorted in a myriad of ways. Taking the set formula and twisting it is, and always has been, a key part of what contributes to the quality of a black metal album. Hell, subgenres like atmospheric black metal and avant-garde black metal couldn’t have been created without the twisting and subverting of the rules of the genre. And today, I ...

Black metal – Francie. Dvě slova, která by před nějakými dvaceti lety dával do souvislostí jen málokdo. Rok se s rokem sešel a francouzská black metalová scéna patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co black metal v současné době produkuje a leckdy se i skandinávské podzemí musí před tím francouzským sklonit. A jelikož ve Francii hnije black metal té nejlepší jakosti, na světlo zemské vystupují nové a nové kape...

French black metal means something different to just about everyone. For some, it’s the devilish chaos of Deathspell Omega or Blut Aus Nord. Others think of Les Légions Noires and its stripped down, raw approach. Or maybe the multi-talented Neige is the bannerman you envision, an artist who has contributed so much to the evolution of the style in the past decade despite recently casting it aside. But I don’t believe it boils down ...
