From Bandcamp, "At the crossroads between the emotional universe of AMENRA and the initiatory realm of HEILUNG, "De l'Abîme Naît l'Aube" (meaning from the abyss the dawn is born) is a project aiming to blend atmospheric and melodic post-metal with tribal rituality, offering a hypnotic, transcendent, and luminous experience. "De l'Aube Naît l'Aube" explores a post-metal universe infused with atmospheric black metal, shaped by multiple influences. The songs are progressive, shifting between suspended calm and rising tension, marked by tempo changes and a strong sense of dramaturgy."

The album has five songs, and "Une Pleine Absence" is first. It opens quietly, and slowly, and with a lot of tension…sort of like how the fog hangs low in the early morning. As it lifts, you can begin to see a little more. Suddenly, a weighted riff drops, lumbering and powerful, and harsh vocals enter. It moves slow from there, busting through barricades and pummeling its victims, until the sound drops to clean, somber tones. Tortured vocals end the song. It segues gently into "Un Sanctuaire de Cendres," the longest on the album. Firm, hardened tones lead the sound, with plenty of melancholy. The clean vocals are very expressive here, telling a tale of loss and regret, and the harsh vocals lash out in anger. The mid-section of the song revels in atmosphere and tension, and you can hear the inevitable build rounding the corner. From there, it crawls, littered with wounds.

"Le Vertige d'une Descendance" is another lengthy offering, and a somber plate leads the way. That thick, mysterious fog I talked about at the beginning is back again until harsh vocals plow right through it. Even in their rage, you still feel empty, and those feelings set in slowly and deeply. "Une Première Epiphanie" is a short four-minute song, but don't let it deceive you into thinking the heavy burden on your back is gone. Indeed, it is stronger and more weighted than ever. "Une Absolue Présence" closes the album, and there is another combination of absolute rage and never ending despair. These two feelings both live inside the album, and neither will give an inch. The drop in sound around the mid-point represents the life leaving your body, or your soul blackening, and it ends on an absolutely desperate cliff-hanger.

This is an album that will crush your very soul, with equal helpings of death, disease, rot, and the kind of desolation that sinks into your mind and you can't crawl out of. Once its blackness reaches you, its grip is firm, and can't be broken. A warning…if you are already feeling bad, this is not the cure.
