Vampires of Black Imperial Blood

The debut full-length from the infamous Les Légiones Noires collective is a harrowing, profoundly influential document of underground French extreme metal. Characterized by utterly atrocious, tape-hiss-drenched production and Willy 'Meyhna'ch' Roussel's agonizingly tortured shrieks, the music is a masterclass in raw, depressive black metal. Its distinctly aristocratic, vampiric melancholy and uncompromisingly lo-fi presentation secured its legendary, highly sought-after cult status.
