Demande à la Poussière are a band from France that plays an apocalyptic mixture of post black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Kintsugi" which was released by My Kingdom Music.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Angry shouts and growls can also be heard at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic post metal style, when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard.
Whispers can also be heard briefly along with the clean sections also returning on some of the later tracks. Apocalyptic orientated soundscapes are also added into some parts of the album and some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts., spoken words are also utilized at times, clear vocals are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of French and English and cover resilience and the violent energy that one can find beyond the depths of his own despair.
In my opinion Demande à la Poussière are a very great sounding apocalyptic mixture of post black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUD E "Inapte" "Ichinawa" "Atrition" and "Brise". 8 out of 10.
