1. Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have never heard of you before?
ans) we r De L'enfer  and we make raw,primitive,fucked up black metal music , lysetdod cant be here because he doesnt give interviews, so its just me

2. How would you describe your musical sound?
ans) well we would describe our sound as something that was made in hell and then sent to us in the form of a blessing from satan,something that was created in some other dimension..

3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
ans) we explore and exploit darkness, we delve into occult and  black magic, we write about carnage and war, about the apocalypse..

4. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the bands name?
ans) de l'enfer is french for 'from hell', the inspiration behind the name is the constant darkness that me and lysetdod r so inspired from ,the thirst in our hearts to attain occult and supernatural powers and abilities,to learn and dig into unknown cults and dark arts etc

5. Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you planning on expanding the line up in the future?

11. The band is from India, are there any other black metal bands out there that you would recommend?
ans) i would recommend the band CRY to u,it was quite nice,but too bad its no more,its split up now..

12. How would you describe your views on Occultism and Satanism?
ans) well im a theistic satanist,and im a novice,i did the dedication ritual in march 2012,it was really a very sublime and pure experience,i just wana say that god is an asshole,trust me,believe me its true, put ur faith on lucifer,he doesnt want any sacrifices or donations or meditations from u,all he wants is your faith in him and your respect and honour towards him then u would c that nobody can stop u in achieving your goals in life,so fuck god,and hail satan \m/

De L' Enfer/Quand La Nuit Devore Tout/Imperial Damnation Records/2012 EP Review

  De  L'  Enfer  are  a  band  from  India  that  plays  a  very  lo-fi,  raw  and  primitive  form  of  depressive  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  ep  "Quand  La  Not  Devore"  which  was  released  by  Impereial  Damnation  Records.

  Drums  programming  ranges  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  beats  which  adds  a  dark  atmosphere,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  primitive  black  metal  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars,  as  for  the  synths  they  are  only  used  on t he  last  song  and  they  bring  a  dark,  atmospheric  and  evil  sound  to  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  with  some  depressive  elements  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Satanism,  Occultism  and  Darkness,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  lo-fi,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  which  almost  sounds  like  it  was  recorded  on  a  cassette  tape.

  In  my  opinion  De  L'  Enfer  are  a  very  great  sounding  lo-fi,  raw  and  primitive  satanic  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should c heck  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Cursed  Forest"  and  "As  The  Blood  Gets  Spilled".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
