Grimoire – L'aorasie des spectres rêveurs (2015)

Arriving from Canada, today we have the frosty Grimoire and their EP titled “L'aorasie des spectres rêveurs”. Featuring around 25 minutes of melancholic Atmospheric Black Metal, this is a very solid offering from Eisenwald to start 2015.

From the mastermind behind Csejthe and Forteresse, this one man band delivers four tracks of excellent atmospheric music filled with harsh vocals and traditional Black Metal onslaughts. “Tragédie des ombres” opens the release with superb melodic riffs and extremely melancholic keyboards. Just after a few seconds we immediately feel the oppressive and lush atmosphere created by Grimorie.

Keeping the levels of brutality quite high, “Les rumeurs des astres” is a lot harsher than the first track. For us, the very expressive and contrasting keyboards are what greatly enhance the atmosphere of the band’s music. The combination of clean and harsh vocals provides another level of contrast that considerably improves the mood of the music.

After blasting through the lush atmospheric passages and weeping riffs of “Cachot de cristal”, the release closes with the bleak atmospheric piece “Cantilène celeste”. Greatly surprising us from start to end, “L'aorasie des spectres rêveurs” is one hell of an EP that delivers both aggressive and melodic passages to create a very expressive and lush musical experience. If you like Atmospheric Black Metal but are tired of all the bands that sound the same, give Grimorie a try and you won’t be disappointed.
