David Fischer Through the man, the myth, the legend Ippocalyptica, I discovered this great project - post-black with sludge? Sign me up. In the vein of Vous Autres (one of my favourite bands)? Count me in. The result, after several listening sessions? Right up my alley! Precisely punchy and pernicisouly powerful production, perfectly avoiding pathos and delivering one of the deepest, varied and most interesting records I have heard this year so far.
Addendum: To Nowhere. Favorite track: Cloudy waters.

YomaBarr Isn't it, simply, a terrifying work of art? Like Beksiński translated into music, and I'm not showing off.

holy gods, what an album... and this throat singing.

Fraz This is it, what I need right now! What a phenomenally good album. The perfect blend of noise, sludge and post black metal. There are some seriously good noisescapes created here as well, it's captivating and haunting, but at the same time powerful and heavy.

Dived in cloudy waters No will to ride out Sinking memories Flooding my mind They turn circle Way down Shining in the void They all rise Skin its dead face Peal its scales off Skin its dead face No will to ride out Peal its scales off Skin its dead face Peal its scales off Vain wishes Washed away A silent descent in thick darknesses So be your own light Your eyes see through this toxic veil falling, an altar of sadness

Gorge 08:55
Une joie obscure rode Un monstre aride et sans foi Elle tombe entre mes doigts Liquide à l'aurore Venimeuse et masquée 8 petits pas, elle avance La nausée familière étouffée Un vide immense s’étale Onde constellée Des reflets voilés Sa lame attrape les visages égarés A la gorge Insupportable errance Astres à la dérive Enraye l'envie La chaleur expire sans vie La nuit danse, ils sombrent

Déesse des douleurs, de la danse Née des vagues, toute visqueuse et amère dans le sel et l'écume Vide et brûlante, inhumaine, mais si terrestre Rassasie-nous pour toujours dans ton cœur noir et salé. Comme un rire, un regret Une rancœur et un élan Enseigne-nous l'indifférence et fait renaître les amours Comble-nous de tes dons, répands sur nos visages ton impartiale cruauté, ta haine tout objective ; ouvre au-dessus de nos yeux tes mains pleines de fleurs et de meurtres.

A dark shape comes out of the woods Swaying Starving Silent approach A dark shape Rising in the lake Eyes wide shut I see hers Shining Forgotten shapes

To nowhere 01:24
7.
Wandering eyes Wandering eyes Rogue wave, unfolding Licking the wound Rogue wave, falling It crushes the stillness Wandering eyes blooming in foams Drowned doorway to nowhere Drowned doorways Drowned doorways Wandering eyes blooming in foams My sense of contentment breaks into sharp pieces As it lays its twisted arms around my will A torch in a black sea To nowhere Licking the wound around my will

Bend 06:04
a liquid shadow bites the alley a liquid shadow bends the light and rises the hill in the shape of a wild dog bends the light rises and melts their faces bend the light in a circle bend the night in a circle it grows, it shines a liquid shadow bites the alley it grows bend the light it rises in the shape of a wild dog melts their faces to a shining river joined on both ends kept by wolves in circle

about

The "Hadal" project have been started in february 2017, it oscillates between post-black metal and sludge, with a bunch of noise.
The idea was to have raw and organic sounds that mix with the many layers of guitars, a heavy and slow rhythm section, for a dissonant and dripping ensemble.
All songs are linked, as they have been worked on simultaneously.

It took 4 years to finish this album, after many hours of work and doubts.
We have written, composed, recorded and mixed everything on our own.
"Gorge" lyrics are heavily influenced by "Caligula", Camus, while "Priere à Venus" lyrics are directly Camus's word.
