France's solo project Les Chants Du Hastard has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black metal, goth, orchestra, classical and opera and this is a review of his self released 2021 album "Livre Troisieme" which will be released in April.
A classical orchestra orientated sound starts off the album while operatic male vocals are also utilized at times. Tortured black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording along with the music also having its avant garde moments and stringed instruments are also utilized quite a bit throughout the songs.
At times the music also gets very symphonic sounding while soprano style vocals are also added into some parts of the songs. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some operatic female vocals also being utilized more on the later songs which also gives the recording more of a gothic atmosphere as well as all of the drum beats also being programmed and as the album progresses a brief use of children voices can also be heard briefly, spoken word parts are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Les Chants Du Hastard takes black metal, goth, classical, orchestra, opera and avant garde and mixes them together to take his sound to another level. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in French and cover darkness and despair themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Les Chants Du Hastard and if you are a fan of black metal, goth, orchestra, classical, opera and avant garde music, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Les Prismes" "Salve Regina " and "Le Repos". 8 out of 10.
