EXILE (2015)
Hace ya tres años que la banda editó su debut, por aquel entonces la irrupción en la escena de Regarde Les Hommes Tomber (2013) sorprendió y gustó, encajando perfectamente dentro de la emergente escena del black mezclado con otros estilo, a saber en su caso mucho de post metal y de sludge. Han pasado los años y los galos regresan con "Exile" un trabajo que vuelve a tener una innegable calidad al igual que su antecesor pero que cuyo principal defecto es que no sorprende como antaño. Otra vez vuelven a conformar un trabajo de siete temas en donde el peso en su música del sludge se ha hecho más presente, ganando protagonismo en unas composiciones rebosantes de contundencia y profesionalidad. Los temas son en líneas generales directos y brutales, construidos sobre la agresividad de voces y la contundencia a los parches de R.R., todo un seguro a lo largo del álbum. Por otra parte las capas de guitarra consiguen una sensación de caos y violencia en su música. Pero sobre todo tenemos que destacar el estado de ánimo que consigue transmitir su música gracias sobre todo a la dualidad de las composiciones que enfrentan elementos agresivos y violentos con otros más melancólicos e intimistas, recreados a la perfección a lo largo de todas y cada una de las composiciones. "Exile" es un trabajo que por momentos roza la perfección en algunos aspectos, pero sobre todo supone la madurez compositiva y el adentrase en terrenos más black. (7,9).
1. L'Exil 03:20 instrumental
2. A Sheep Among the Wolves 07:17
A life of love and obedience
Where the true faith has replaced reason
A spiritual den
(A religious rain of sadness and moan)
My Father
My Lord
My King
And my God
I devoutly followed
I piously lived
I feel like I dwell in Hell
Just feel like I dwell in Hell
Distress smashed on walls
Crying on the altar
A sheep among the wolves
Bleeding, dazed, yet offered
A bloody knee for a bloody faith
I beg for your mercy
I beg for salvation and redemption
My flesh, my blood are gone
I pray in vain the skies
Drowned in the flood of evils
Merciless for me, pitiless for me
I endure my life, the way I believe
I've lost, I've coughed, I've suffered
My flesh, my blood are gone
I grieve my people, alone
My flesh, my blood are gone
I give my word, my soul
I'm tempted to flee
The vermilion angel
I'm tempted to follow
The vermilion angel
My soul is barely gone
I feel like I dwell in Hell
All the evils belong
To the vermilion angel
The chasm of rest
Of death and silence
Has swallowed my body
Death and silence
The pain, the evils and sorrow
Gone for eternity
A never-ending fall
The quietest trek of existence
(I gaze at the silent sky
This place where only dwells the moon)
3. Embrace the Flames 04:56
When the crows started to gather
And the night has come forever
The poisonous tongue whistled a heartwarming lullaby
The voice among the void
The rank breeze of salvation
The twisted branches sang this sinister lullaby
Stand and start your ascension
You are not alone anymore
The wanderer, exiled for the rest of your existence
Fear the celestial light
Embrace, embrace the black flames
Embrace, embrace the black flames
O son of Adam, be the first man to oppose your fathers
Leave your soul, enter the darkness
You are not alone anymore
Follow me and embrace the world you belong to
Follow me and embrace the world you belong to
Follow me and you will never be alone anymore
4. They Came... 02:06 instrumental
5. ...to Take Us 07:16
A feasting town illuminates the smoky skies above
The sleepless crowd celebrates the life and death of all
The endless flow of blood and wine
Waters sullied the earth of lust and anger
Gluttony corrodes the weakest souls
The hymn of debauchery
The song of the great misery
Can't you see these sins and horror
Can't you feel this unnatural behavior
Can’t you hear the cry of Sodom
Who are these strangers who loomed out of the dark
They must return from where they came
This city is a noble one
See this halo, unnaturally bright
They came to take us
They came to kill us
Release them from this den
So they can hear the cry of Sodom
The hymn of debauchery
The song of the great misery
6. Thou Shall Lie Down 06:16
Sweet and sour
Where all the weak wander
A place of torture
A place of liars
O Lord and Father
Forever after
O Lord and Father
You'll be a sinner
Follow the lead
Whistled the wind
Heavenly sneaking
Slyly preaching
This place is Heaven
This place we call Eden
A land of fairness
A land of blindness
O Father
Forever after
O Father
You'll be a sinner
(I won't surrender
To a foul, to his words
Half god half coward)
I claim and order
This king to behold
The reign of a mother
This curse would be told
I'll never suffer
Anytime, anymore
I'll never suffer anymore
The stance of such a creature
Has no matter for the weaver
I disown you
I disown you, evil daughter
Thou shall lie down
Thou shall crumble
Thou shall lie down
Thou shall submit yourself
I'll set this land on fire
Where Abel lies, murdered
I'll set the earth on fire
Where all the weak wander
(I'll set Eden on fire
To purge this place of liars
I'll set the world on fire
To gaze at the flames of anger)
7. The Incandescent March 11:12
This reign must end right now
How can we still stare at the stars
How can we listen to the sun
My friends, my men, till the end
Our luminous gladius swords will be our words
The cry of the broken wings
The crack of the burning skins
To the ones who were once slaves
Thou shall kill them and dig their graves
I swear I'll rise again
Lucifer in this very war
The parade of the dancing flames
The revenge of the fallen star
I swear I'll rise again
Lucifer in this very war
The parade of the dancing flames
The laughable dimension of such a tragedy
The miserable scum that erodes the rock of destiny
(These woods will burn from a blaze
Which lives in the heart of a thousand eyes)
We'll tread upon this mountain
From this place we call Inferno
The primitive philosophy of a tyrannic group of cowards
Will never rule on this pure and fragile place we call earth
The time of slavery must end right now
This time of tyranny must be the last
We will crush the weaver, he will taste the bitter
And on this unreachable fortress we call Heaven
He will taste the anger of the gods we are
We will sit on this throne
And the fallen god, the exiled one
Will rest in a place we call Inferno
We will sit on this throne
42:23
