MIASMES - Repugnance review


 

MIASMES - Repugnance

Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions


In all honesty I haven't got into any real extreme stuff from the French black metal scene in a while. Of course as history goes the French were late to the whole BM party in the 1990's. But I like some of the early stuff. Their second wave stuff is damm good. But it was around the mid-2000's when the releases coming out of France where hipster bullshit fare. 


But this one came recommended because it was supposed to be old school French black metal with better production. And ya know after a few listens I have to say it isn't. This is the debut full length by this French BM three piece. And yeah it's BM but it also rocks. It's a primitive rocking album with plenty of early BM traits as well as raunchy vocals, pounding drum work and some heavy bass lines. The rhythms are thrashy too. 


This comes close to black n roll in many ways. But because the songs are sung in French it sounds really filthy. I'm thinking this is more a combination of VENOM and MUTIILATION with hints from their Northern neighbors. But hey all in all it still sounds cool. Let's hear their next one.
