Sühnopfer - Nous sommes d'Hier

Показать описание

Part of the track-by-track series, taken from the album "Nous sommes d'Hier", out since October 6th 2023.

Ardraos narrates:

"The composition of this track was intended to be very effective and without frills. It should remind the listener a bit of SÜHNOPFER's debut album "Nos Sombres Chapelles" – with very direct and catchy riffs, emphasizing the epic side of the band. I wanted the full album to carry this title which totally reflects its state of mind, relationship to the past and to religion. On this track, the narrator positions himself as a revenant of a bygone era ready to oppose the modern world. Wiser ones will be able to note a few lines in homage to a famous, recently deceased, royalist writer."

SÜHNOPFER, hailing from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, return with their most fully realised release to-date of blasting, emotive, edge-of-seat Baroque Black Metal.

"Nous sommes d'Hier", the band's 4th full length since formation in 2001, finds sole member and multi-instrumentalist Ardraos continuing to explore a medieval universe in his quest to restore the tarnished glory of the Bourbons - marching between the Middle Ages and the modern era to weave compulsive tales of dark times, remembered legends and places that resonate with the death of an age.

Using master musicianship and tightly honed songwriting SÜHNOPFER intertwine frantically flowing drums, ardent volleys of shapeshifting classical guitar melodies and desperately impassioned vocals. The album incorporates choral themes from Baroque composers Charpentier and Cherubini, and features a guest spot for Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD) providing choirs/lead guitar to the exceptional "Sermon sur le Trépassement".

The record concludes with "Le Bal des Laze", a cover version of a late '60s song from French chanson artist Polnareff. Performed originally as a funeral march, the track lends itself perfectly to a Black Metal adaptation and epitomises SÜHNOPFER's sense of daring as a living emanation from a boisterous past.
