When you press "play", this cd make you breathless because the music is always interessant, different, melodic and chaotic from the first second until the 34th minute of the work. Those four french guys make a very cold and direct melodic Black Metal , using melody like Enslaved (especially on their recent works), Dissection, Dawn, Naglfar with some melodic elements always present on the French scene (like the French band called Aes Dana). Someone could pre-judge this album but it'll be a big mistake.
Ok, now Nirnaeth are not so obscure and occultist but there are a lot of valid elements and it's very good to hear this sound full of anger. Most eclatant ex. is "Black Metal Wrath"; if someone don't hear starting-riffs, he can't be called MetalHead! Malefic Zigouille's voice is very important, he scream with a voice full of anger, telling black world about unknowledge and obscurity.
We can say that it was a big surprise meting this band who make a very interesting music, like no many bands at this level.
