Frozen Shadows - Dans les Bras des Immortels
This band hails from Canada. Quebec, to be exact. As a matter of fact, Frozen Shadows makes a point of mentioning that they are from Quebec. My French absolutely sucks (much more so than my German, Norwegian and Swedish), so I don’t know much about what these guys are about. I’m assuming that they are separatists as they are a little too proud of being French-Canadian to not be nationalistic to some degree. I really couldn’t give a flying shit about their political affiliations, as the music is what is doing the talking here. The vast bulk of this album is high-speed, underproduced Black Metal in the Immortal vein, with a clear Darkthrone influence. Darkthrone played at Immortal speeds best describes this. There is one point on this album, the song “Of Pain and Insufferable Torment,” to be precise, where they get slower and atmospheric. This has to be the standout song of this album. The rest of Dans les Bras des Immortels dissolves in a blur of chainsaw guitars and blasting drums, but this one song is something that sticks in my head. If they can do more in that style, diversifying their assault, they will be a band to be reckoned with. Until then, they will be just another faceless group of corpse-paint wearing musicians with one cool song.
