Gris - 2013 - À L'âme Enflammée, L'äme Constellée...

Gris is a black metal band from Quebec, Canada. À L'âme Enflammée, L'äme Constellée... is their second LP. They play melodic, atmospheric, depressive black metal. Instead of pummeling you over and over in the face with aggressive misanthropy, Gris creates a dark, gloomy orchestral sound scape and sucks you into their dark reality.



There are still aggressive raggers like Les Forges but even it is tampered with some melody. The singer has an excellent scream which he uses with great effect. If you're down for some gloomy atmosphere and a hint of melody in your black metal, Gris' À L'âme Enflammée, L'äme Constellée... will serve well.
