Détresse are an international band with members from Austria and Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Misères" which will be released in October 9th by Vendetta Records.
\
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. 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 high pitched black metal screams.
A great portion of the tracks are also long and epic in length while the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre along with the recording also having its atmospheric moments and clear chants can also be heard briefly, keyboards and clean playing are also added towards the end
On this recording Détresse takes their raw and atmospheric style of black metal into a more aggressive direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and cover human misery and hardship.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Détresse and if you are a fan of raw and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Verrottet" and "So Bitter, So Kalt". 8 out of 10.
