Noirsuaire/The Dragging Poison/Osmose Productions/2025 Full Length Review

 

  France's  Noirsuaire  has  returned  with  a  new  recording  which  shows  the  music  going  for  a  raw  and  old  school  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2025  album  "The  Dragging  Poison"  which  will  be  released  on  December  26th  by  Osmose  Productions.

  A  very  dark  sounding  intro  starts  off  the  album  along  with  some  demonic  voices  and  synths,  spoken  words  can  also  be  heard  briefly  before  going  into  a  heavier direction.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  while  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats.

  When  tremolo  picking  is  added  into  the  fast  riffing  they  also  give  the  songs  more  of  a  raw  feeling  while  the  music  is  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  old  school  era.  Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  riffs along  with  the  album  also  adds  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts,  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  On  this  recording  Noisuaire  remain  true  to  the  raw  and  old  school  style  of  black  metal  that  they  have  established  on  previous  releases.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  the  lyrics  cover  forgotten  European  Folklore,  Vampirism  and  Old  Fashioned  Devil  Worship.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Noissuaire  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of r aw  and  old  school  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Trance  Of  Bedless  Bones"  "Possessed  By  A  Malignant  Lust"  and  "Noisuaire".  8  out  of  10.

Noirsuarie Interview

 

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the musical project?

Unholy reverence to you for the opportunity to speak in your media.

Noirsuaire is Just another retrogade Black Metal project among hundreds of others. It is the materialization of my own vision of Black Metal and it sounds like this because I can only play like this.

2.So far you have released one demo and 2 ep's, musically how do they all differ from each other?

Just a demo in 2023 and an EP in 2024. They differ a lot as the first demo tracks were laying dormant for more than one Year and i didnt find the good mood to finish the recording. The new EP conception was in fact challenging. Agravh the immense drummer of Noirsuaire had recorded drums parts for several songs due to two EPs but he managed to play them differently and it changed everything musically. So I challenged myself and i took the drums parts he recorded and wrote new songs on top of it, which is the complete opposite of the usual process. Thus were born the songs "Black Flame Of Unholy Tradition" and "With Talons Sharp and Cruel". The two other songs on the EP were just old tracks.

3.A lot of your lyrics cover devil worship and vampirism, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the dark arts?

My fascination for dark arts and myths can be drawn from my childhood as I led a pretty isolated life close to a Forest where I was spending my times and I was always attracted by horror movies, heavy music and role playing. All those youthful things paved my way to the dark arts.

4.I know that the bands name means 'Black Cerecloth', how does this name fit in with the musical style that you play??

As a kid i was doing role playing games especially gamebooks. One of my favorites was dealing with a warrior fighting on a haunted territory and his map there was a haunted village and the french translation was NOIRSUAIRE (of course the original name was not "Black cerecloth"). And I loved it. It perfectly sums up the concept of the project : dark, mysterious, evil with juvenile roots

5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on both of the ep covers?

I could not find a propre design for a front cover so I used pics of myself. Like Immortal did.

6.Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you open to expanding the line up or do you prefer to remain a duo?

Noirsuaire will never be that usual kind of band's as I cannot stand it.

7.One of the ep's was released on 'Khaozophy Productions', can you tell us a little bit more about this label?

This great and new label contacted me to release the ep on CD and I said yes. I love the dark magic of the Black Metal underground where somebody from another part of the country/planet contacts you because they discovered your music and wants to release it. I never refuse this.

8.A lot of the music sounds more closer to the classic era of French black metal,  do you feel black metal was more aggressive during the mid 90's then what is currently released these days?

I dont know if it was more aggressive but it was way more honest on many levels. As Black Metal is today mostly made of fake acts, the honesty of those glorious days make everything more aggressive.

9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal?

Very positive and I'm truly amazed by that. People commenting the project mostly say the same good things : traditional Black Metal great riffs.

10.When can we expect a full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

Noirsuaire first album is demoed. The recording will start soon. You can only expect the same sound you heard and liked enough to give us your attention.

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

Noirsuaire influences draw from Marduk, Mayhem, Nastrond, Gorgoroth, Darkthrone, Enthroned and the likes. Those days I stick to the old releases i have been listening for years but when it comes to new bands I really like: Ultra Silvam, Djevel, Night Shall Drape Us, Whoredom Rife

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

I thank you for the interview. Keep burning the Black Flame Of Unholy Tradition.
