Québec's own CANTIQUE LÉPREUX are back with their third full-length album "Le bannissement", scheduled for release in spring 2024 via Eisenwald. It is a tale of self-initiation, a rejection of society, and a glorification of nature - manifested in their signature style of swirling tremolo-guitar-riffs, tortured screams, and elaborate melodicism.

Formed in 2014 in Quebec City, Cantique Lépreux is the creation of Blanc Feu, Cadavre, and Matrak. Since their first album "Cendres célestes", released in 2016, they have established themselves as an essential act of the Métal Noir Québécois scene. They channel the evocative power of Black Metal, carrying vast forests, desolate landscapes, impassable mountains, and cosmic torment. The band members are also associated with Mêlée des Aurores, Chasse-Galerie, Acédia, Manière Noire, Chaos Catharsis, Forteresse, Délétère and Au-delà des ruines.

"Le bannissement" tells the abduction of a young girl and the sickness that is forced into her. Tainted, and rejected by those who should have protected her, she flees to wild and unexplored land, where she shatters and mends herself continuously. In these countless battles, she severs her bond to reality, subverts the sickness, and overthrows those who had seized her innermost Dream. Through banishment, liberation.

The album presents a raging and hypnotic narrative. Fast-paced songs drag the listener in a wild hunt, rushing towards self-annihilation. It was interpreted with the band's live line-up and equipment to preserve the fierceness of the mindset it was composed. This raging maelstrom, built on alluring melodies, shows guitarists Blanc Feu and Ascèse's fascination for music history and musicology. The album's emotional power stems not only from black metal's common genre tropes but also from the austere grandeur of early music.

Recording and production were mostly handled by the musicians themselves. Guitarist, vocalist, and founder Blanc Feu took over the mixing duties. Drum recording and additional mixing was done by François Fortin at La Boîte Noire. Mastering and also additional mixing by X.T. at Tehom Studios. Marek Soszyński contributed his skills in calligraphy.

Deux alliés de longue date au sein de la scène black québécoise, Monarque et Moribond, joignent leurs forces pour offrir un album conjoint de leurs projets ambiants. Sur Arcanes, Cimerion et Oublieth proposent un voyage riche en atmosphère et en émotion, dédié à deux géants de la musique ambiante nous ayant récemment quitté, Klaus Schulze et Vangelis. Plutôt que de favoriser une approche classique du type "album split", les deux collaborateurs ont plutôt décidé de ne faire qu'une seule trame sonore au sein de laquelle leurs pièces alternent de façon tout à fait naturelle tout en gardant des particularités propres à chacun d'entre eux. Majoritairement enregistré à partir de synthétiseurs analogiques, Arcanes voit les deux groupes donner le meilleur d'eux même, dans un album qui saura captiver ses auditeurs. Édition CD strictement limitée à 500 copie.

Two longtime allies within the Québec Black Metal scene, Monarque and Moribond, join forces to offer a joint album from their ambient projects. On Arcanes, Cimerion and Oublieth offer a journey filled with atmosphere and emotion, dedicated to two giants of ambient music who recently left us, Klaus Schulze and Vangelis. Rather than approach this opus in a classic “split album” way, the two collaborators have opted to compose a single soundtrack within which their tracks alternate in a very natural way while keeping their own uniqueness. Mostly recorded from analog synthesizers, Arcanes sees each group at the top of their game, in an album that will captivate listeners. CD edition strictly limited to 500 copies.
