I'm just stopping in to say that my latest music obsession has been with this one-man band, Via Doloris.
Gildas Le Pape(mostly a jazz fellow, also played guitar for some years with Satyricon, from about '08 to '13, if I recall?) has so far managed to compose two amazing black metal tracks. Very bleak, melodic yet cold and blistering sounding, I cannot wait to hear this whole album on March 20th. I have my vinyl pre-ordered. I knew the guy was talented, but hearing him compose this stuff is spectacular. I can't wait to hear more!
Oh, I did say it's a one-man band, and that's true, but the album does have a session drummer-the one and only Frost, who sounds, of course, on point. If you're gonna get a session drummer, get one of the best, and he's one of the best!
If you like that cold, well-produced 90s-vibed black metal, please check out the songs that are out so far, "For the Glory" and "Un Franc Soleil!"
I'll definitely be doing a review of the album here. If the rest is as good as these two songs, it's AotY potential already!
