Douve are a band from France that plays a very depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Sol" which will be released in October by Mort sur Musique.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the music is very heavily rooted in the modern era. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some of the riffing also adding in a touch of post metal.
Classical guitars and clean playing can also be heard on a few songs before returning back to a heavier direction and a later song also adds in a brief use of clear singing as well as a later track also adding in some spoken words. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and covet the torments of human identity.
In my opinion Douve are a very great sounding depressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Heureux ceux qui qui nous violent" "Un ur blanc couleur pilule" and "Tout bruler". 8 out of 10.
