Classical music style keyboards and tango music sounds start off the album which also gives the recording more of an avant garde feeling and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and spoken words can also be heard on a few tracks.
Vocals are a mixture of clear singing and depressive black metal screams while the album also has its experimental moments. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the clean sections also adding in touches of jazz music, growls are also used at times and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as the solos and leads also being done in a melodic style when they are introduced. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French with one song also being written in English and covers the hidden face of the moon.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Pensees Nocturnes and if you are a fan of avant garde and experimental depressive black metal, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Pomgage funebre" and "Le clown et la mort". 8 out of 10.
