Étire dans le ciel vide

by Forêt Endormie

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) A black metal guitarist writing chamber music? Yes, it's possible. And it sounds fascinating. Augmenting the classical piano trio (piano, violin, and cello) by electric guitar and vibraphone is an attractive idea, and it works just fine. Favorite track: String & Hammer II: Pastorale.

Richard RR A vision born in the woods of Maine. Classical music from a group led by a black metal musician (Falls of Rauros). Stunning artistry of a high order. Most highly recommended! Favorite track: String & Hammer I: Sylvan Wayfaring.

about

The bulk of the compositions on Étire dans le ciel vide are written for cello, violin, vibraphone, electric guitar, piano, and voices, a combination which resembles a traditional chamber ensemble while adding more contemporary sounds.

Lyrically, Étire dans le ciel vide examines the anxiety and isolation that is present in modern life, drawing from the poetry of 19th century French poet Paul Verlaine.

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 35 fans who also own “Étire dans le ciel vide”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Through the years, this album might have become my favourite from FoR. Although, I find it impossible to decide which one is actually my favourite. Genius songwriting, perfect organic production, warm atmosphere, cathartic riffs and melodies. Lee1998
