The genre this particular French band is playing is a rare thing nowadays, so I must say I am actually honored to review something so unique, original, and creatively awesome! The overall atmosphere, the type of vocals, the riffing, everything is a bit industrial influenced, but the whole is album is a lot more than just that. The first song ''Le Froid éfface'' smacked me in the face with its powerful, epic, sludgy, doom riff, with an incredibly raw and slow speed, this riff only put my hopes up really high(they already were even before playing the album for the first time)!  Oh, the vocals! WOW! The vocals are so deep, black metal influenced, sometimes I hear another vocalist, perhaps backing vocalist(?) with a different voice, a different vocal style which is completely heavy metal influenced, with a small mix of sludge metal. Screams, growls, clean influenced vocals, almost everything is here. Sometimes the growls lean a bit more to the Death Metal, but sometimes to the Black Metal side, too! This has to be one of the most creative albums after ARCTURUS's latest album entitled ''Arcturus''.  The overall keyboards which are present, too, they pretty much build up the whole atmosphere, the great, various vocal styles, the chilling riffs, the pleasant drums. The fact that this band doesn't fear experimentation, makes them one of France's greatest underground metal bands (you name the genre!).

''Tout s'écroule'' enters with a slow, but somehow epic riff surrounded by strong ambient influences in the background, which really put the listener to sleep. A nice, speeding black metal scream enters, but the ambient kind of still remains dominant, making this track my favorite, so far. Even though I'm not always into these type of Black Metal vocals, they somehow sound beautiful! With the overall atmosphere being so chilly and slow, full of ambient moments, it kind of makes the whole thing sound so beautiful. In the middle of the song you can even hear something that would, if you'd ask me, I'd say was a violin, and at some moments I hear bells, triangle's, and many more instruments. I might be wrong, no matter how the band achieved this sound, it's incredible. Around the end a powerful, dark, clean vocal, a bit folk-ish but still heavy enters the musical journey, and makes things even more epic. Still, I can't understand anything, for what I am so sorry, I would love to know the lyrics. They must be awesome. Yes, you guessed, nothing is in English, if the track list wasn't enough clue. '' La fin de l'ère sauvage'', the third track on this awesome record, starts off with a brutal, earth shattering bass riff that actually remains loud enough throughout the entire track, even when the Brutal, Black/Death/Doom metal vocals enter. I seriously can't name it, you must hear it to have an idea what I'm talking about!

''Noir'' is a weird track, and I am almost certain every album has one of those, that sound a bit different, which kind of showcase an experimental element of a band. This one might be one of them, but hell, I love it so much.  It's such a nice, haunting track with different types of vocals, some are high and clean, some are slow but black metal oriented, and the entire song is echoing of a weird sound, it's really, really bizarre, but in an epic way, somehow also interesting. Also, if you were curious, the album's title translates to something like: ''The end of the wild era''. I'm still on the fourth track, and damn, it's so atmospheric, so beautiful but somehow blood chilling, too! ''Moelleuse et tiède'' starts off with deep and heavy tribal drums, with an also echoing sound, and vocals that reminds us of death itself. It's a deep track, with just a bit more instrumentation than vocalization. However, they are still present, and they sound do industrial, growl-ish, and really, dark and brutal, it sometimes gets mixed with doom, and it's just great in its entirety.

''Toundra'' starts off with the wind blowing, and a literally heavy riff in the background, slowly fading in. Chanting sounds, vocals. Believe it or not, this is the second longest track on the entire album, after the second one. It's atmospheric, incredibly deep but somehow still incredibly epic...the entire song is so charming, it takes the listener away somewhere else, on a different place. If the whole, atmospheric, keyboard followed thing wasn't enough, there you go some motherfucking church bells! Incredible, guys, this is incredible! SHOUTOUT to you in Woest, too! I am blown away!! Keep playing for many years to come, loved your music!!! To you, the fans, YOU MUST check this band out and their debut album, and to you labels, YOU ALSO need this on your roster, you are about to check out one of France's most epic and experimental bands!
