Fleurety - Department of Apocalyptic Affairs
The bio reads like a spy novel. Unfortunately, it proves to be far more interesting than the music. Fleurety suffers from a severe case of schizophrenia. Department of Apocalyptic Affairs throws together elements of Progressive Rock, Jazz, Techno, and Industrial for a completely incoherent mix. The band is a “supergroup” of sorts that features members of Mayhem, Arcturus, Aura Noir, Ulver, and Dodheimsgard. I would have thought that a collaboration by this group of musicians would have produced some awe-inspiring Black Metal. Reading through the bio, it seems that these guys are actually mocking the very scene they are a part of. This is their way of giving the middle-finger to Black Metal purists. The only reason I even listened to the entire album is because of its bizarre nature. If you think that the latest efforts by Mayhem, DHG (formerly Dodheimsgard), and Ulver are “ground-breaking,” you may enjoy this. If you appreciate bands like Immortal, Darkthrone, or Emperor, you should avoid this like the plague!
