Félonie are a solo project from Switzerland that plays a very atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "De Sève et de Sang" which will be released in october as a joint effort between Aural Music and Code666.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. One song also adds in a small amount of ritualistic touches along with some tracks also adding in some atmospheric sounding synths.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as the songs also adding in a lot of variety and one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length, clean playing can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Swiss and cover local history, tales and legends.
In my opinion Félonie are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sedunum Invictus" "Du Haut de l'Echafaud" "Nuit des Tourments" and "Tueuse d'Etoile". 8 out of 10.
