Peste Noire France

"Medieval black metal band Peste Noire delivers here a very controversial album. The dark lyrics based on medieval poems have been replaced here by political pamphlets around very modern subjects: ecology, social fracture, civil war... The music, quite far from their black metal roots, is an eclectic mix of punk/rock, ska, french folk, eurodance and avant-garde metal. Vocals alternate between male and female, clean, spoken, growls, carnivalesque... It's a mess, but a good mess. Most funny album I've listened in ages."
