Orphique are a band from Quebec, Canada that plays a very atmospheric, melodic and progressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Consécration Cadavérique" which will be released on November 24th by Sepulchral Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. The riffs also add in a lot of melody and the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. When synths are utilized they also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling along with the acoustic sections also taking the album into a more progressive direction when t hey are added on the recording.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some tracks also adding in a more melancholic atmosphere. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in French and cover darkness, dreams and nature themes.
In my opinion Orphique are a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and progressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vampirique" and "Sporadique". 8 out of 10.
