Limbes are a solo project from France that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a cascadian form of depressive black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Ecluse" which was released by Les Acteurs De L'Ombre Productions.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with t he heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly depressive black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as the music also having its dissonant moments.
On this recording Limbes takes the atmospheric, depressive, dissonant and cascadian styles of black metal and mixes them together to create a very diverse release. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics are written in French and cover depression, religion, politics and philosophy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Limbes and if you are a fan of cascadian and depressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "De courbes & de peaux" and "Leurre". 8 out of 10.
