Localized sounds are inescapable in black metallic. There are riffs which sound “French,” chords that are “Norwegian,” and even atmospheres that are “American.” Although stereotypical regional sounds are extra “cartoonish” or caricaturesque examples of the style at work in a sure place, there’s a validity to tags like “atmospheric USBM” or “French black metallic,” a spot between which French solo artist Lure bridges on their first launch, Morbid Funeral.
Mastermind P., additionally of tattoo/artwork model Business for Satan and bands like Silver Knife, does an astonishing job of discovering center floor between the stoic melodicisms of French black metallic’s roots, in addition to the extra expressive, longer-form musings of early 2010s underground US black metallic. At occasions, the three prolonged songs discovered on Morbid Funeral sound like each on the similar time — a mark of true musical craftsmanship. P.’s grasp of black metallic’s ardour, expressionism, and a hidden progressive mindset, ends in one of many cooler, extra surprising releases of 2020. The true attract of this album is that, whereas it appears like each American and French black metallic, it additionally appears like neither. Lure is its personal factor, and that is fairly cool. Hearken to an unique full-album stream of Morbid Funeral beneath.
