Au Fleuve de Loire

pinkytheent Never has an album been so… fluvial. Such a fresh take. This album shimmers with the lushness of the riverbank. Melodies are the perfect combination of folk sensibility (without going hokey) and black metal bite, chord choices are triumphant and inspired, vocals unhinged yet still suited to what’s going on in the music. So many turns that I am excited to listen again. Fantastic tone, too: super clean yet not at all overproduced. Feels like you’re standing next to the amplifier. Swept me away! Favorite track: Le Roi René a Fait Mander.

Maison Planàterre Note: Angers (France), album long Jeu (lJ) de métal noir atmosphérique épique paru en 2021_05.

En effet à l'écoute s'entend des notes de musique chevaleresque (épique) ramenant notre focus sur cette période du Moyen Âge faite de duels et de combats à l'épée. Et s'entend aussi des relents de musique lourde et progressive (heavy prog) à travers l'univers fantastique du métal noir atmosphérique (atmospheric black metal). Favorite track: A Cul de Grève.

mhe Vinyl arrived. Great sound, better than download, much better. Packaging Was exzellente. Hanternoz now on heavy rotation.

Sentence of the back :

La Loire c’est le silence,
Des souvenirs qui me relancent
A travers quelques ronces,
Qui se noient et s’enfoncent
Et entre les lentilles d’eau
Luit l’oeil d’or d’une grenouille
Qui garde comme un tringlot
Le vieux bateau, qui rouille.

"River Loire means silence,
Memories harassing me,
Through a few brambles
Drowning and sinking,
Through duckweeds
Shines the golden eye of frog
Garding as a soldier
The old boat, that rusts" ... more

about

9-track album.

“Au Fleuve de Loire” is the 3rd album of Hanternoz, following 2 concept-splits, 1 EPs compilation and 2 albums, the last of which came in 2010.

“Au Fleuve de Loire” is meant to be a tribute to the longest, largest of french rivers, the Loire. For the first time a river is the main character of a black metal album, and here is why : wildest and most protected big river of France, it is also the frontier of the 2 main languages of France until modern times. Making access to Atlantic ocean direct to Paris thanks to the stream downwards and the perfect winds upwards, the river quickly became the “Kings’ river, and King of Rivers” as many fortresses, ruling places and châteaux were installed on its banks.
The river is here presented in many ways, from the Natural point of view of endangered species to the many drowned souls it carriers, from the industrial era and mecanisation to the medieval history, from the fishing industry (viewed from the fishes’ point of view!) to the memories of the lyricist’s childhood.
Musically, the sound is stronger, more powerful, carried by a variety of guests and helping hands. Most worked and accomplished album of the band so far, it also lyrically confirms the bands status of mystical approach of ancient tales.

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri
