Album Notes & Community Reviews

The seventh full-length album from the French duo, 'Les Chants de l'Aurore' translates to 'The Songs of Dawn' and continues their exploration of otherworldly beauty. The record is a metaphorical journey to a spiritual plane, blending soaring, dream-like soundscapes with bursts of cathartic black metal aggression. It further solidifies their status as pioneers of the blackgaze genre.
