Sanctvs are a solo project from Montreal, Quebec, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "De l'Abîme au Plérôme" which will be released in January 30th by Osmose Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and when the music speeds up a lot of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre mixed in with an old school style aggression. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic yet melodic style as well as one track also adding in a brief use of clean playing, spoken words can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Sanctvs brings out a very modern and aggressive style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in French and cover Occultism, Death, Devotion and Transformation themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sanctvs and if you are a fan of fast and aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rex Hominum" and "La Lumiere de I'infini". 8 out of 10.
