:: ::
:: Here we have a quite new band from France which is called ::
:: Neptrecus and it was born in 2011. They have released a ::
:: demo, a full length album in 2013 and in October of 2015 ::
:: they release their second one. So, "FrΦres de Sang", ::
:: contains an introduction and eight tracks of overall ::
:: duration of about fifty minutes. The first thing that can ::
:: someone say about this album is "What an incredible attack ::
:: is this!". This album, after a completely useless ::
:: introduction which is trying to get the listener into its ::
:: theme, is starting with one of the most aggressive and ::
:: interesting riffs that I have listened to the last few ::
:: years. So from the beginning they manage to catch the ::
:: attention of the listener. ::
:: ::
:: Into this album, the band presents an aggressive Black Metal ::
:: sound which really achieves to connect flawlessly the ::
:: violent Scandinavian sound that we can come across into ::
:: bands like Marduk and the characteristics of the French ::
:: sound that we can distinguish into the scene since its ::
:: creation, namely the intense emotions and a tendency to the ::
:: school of romanticism. As you can understand, the album ::
:: started with much power and with very interesting riffs and ::
:: in that way it continues, surely it also has some less ::
:: interesting parts but in general it is on a the same high ::
:: level. The riffs are aggressive, other times full of hatred ::
:: and other times melancholic. The speed mainly is fast with a ::
:: lot of medium tempo parts, while into all of their forms, ::
:: they are interesting and they can offer feelings to the ::
:: listener. The duration of the tracks is good (from five ::
:: minutes to eight minutes) and their structure is very good, ::
:: so the listener can follow very easily the entire evolution ::
:: of the album. ::
:: ::
:: In order a good composition to be highlighted, the ::
:: performance of the instruments must be also that good. ::
:: Indeed, here the instruments are played with much passion ::
:: and feelings as also with accuracy and technic. The guitars ::
:: are harsh but quite clean and they deliver the feelings and ::
:: the images flawlessly. The bass is almost inaudible but this ::
:: is not annoying as the sound is full. The drums have ::
:: interesting lines and they are playing a quite important ::
:: role into the compositions. They are played with power, ::
:: passion but also with accuracy. The vocals sound distorted, ::
:: something that I generally dislike. Here they are not that ::
:: much distorted, so they are not becoming that annoying and ::
:: they are quite expressing and passionate. The production is ::
:: dirty and harsh and along with the balanced mixture, they ::
:: produce a dirty and violent sound. Finally, the lyrics are ::
:: written in French and they narrate historic events of war, ::
:: taken from the past of France. ::
:: ::
:: Summing up, "FrΦres de Sang" is a very good effort which has ::
:: a lot of feelings, images and experiences to offer to the ::
:: listener. The Black Metal style that they play, combines the ::
:: best elements of the two scenes in a very creative way and ::
:: with a lot of fantasy so that they give a very powerful and ::
:: very interesting result. I don't think that there is anyone ::
:: who is listening to Black Metal and not like this album. ::
