Feuille Morte - necro black metal from France

Feuille Morte

Souvenir D'autrefois

March 7th, 2021

Feuille Morte is two individuals: Nostälgie on guitar, vocals, and lyrics; and Crépüscule on drum, vocals, guitar, bass. The recording is the following songs: 1.Récit (05:01); 2.Automne (04:20); 3.Départ (04:08); 4.Voyage (05:30). The total playing time 18:59. The lyrics are in French and available for reading on Bandcamp. Topics of an introspective or generally existentialist style, in the context of life as a riddle or a question, we can say, would be one way to describe the lyrics. Fans looking for black metal that sounds played by humans, without overusing technology to make the music seem perfect and computerized, will enjoy the noisy drums, with plenty of cymbal work to heard and drums that certainly seem like live, acoustic drums in the recording space; with a harsh but also melodic guitar tone and shrieking vocals. How much of this music is played by the musicians themselves and how much of it is sampled or computer software, only they know. However, one listen should be more than plenty to get a sense of the style of this French duo, and should be rather pleasing to audiences looking for something more primal, without the feeling of listening to plastic-toy music. The songs stay on point and appeal easily to the initiated, and could also convince other listeners willing to appreciate this type of metal music.
