The 7-th PESTE NOIRE full-length album is finally here! Three years since their previous release, Famine and his Kommando strike again. Peste Noire – split – Peste Noire, the name says it’s all: ten tracks divided in two parts – the traditional and the degenerate one, making it almost 50-minutes of “crème de la crème” of the French black metal.
Peste Noire is a black metal band from La Chaise-Dieu, France. It was formed by La sale Famine de Valfunde in Avignon in 2000. To date, all songs have been written by La sale Famine (except "La Césarienne" on Folkfuck Folie and various piano/organ interludes on Ballade cuntre lo Anemi francor). The band plays music which utilises standard black metal elements mixed with more traditional gallic instrumentation. The music is often melodic and sorrowful, turning at times towards a more aggressive and chaotic sound within lengthy and elaborate song structures. The band is sometimes referred to as P.N. or K.P.N (Kommando Peste Noire).
New Peste Noire album, L’Ordure à l’état Pur, just in time to break your balls and to make you dream of the North. Wormy, Muddy Black Metal for scoundrels, that is, in the usual Peste Noire fashion.

After Aphrodite's Child, Vangelis and Socrates during the Seventies, Greece is once again waking up to Progressive rock. The leading band of this new generation, La Tulipe Noire is a classically composed quintet. This talented line-up performs a refined and quiet progressive rock that develops baroque and solemn melodies. Singer IMA's clear and pure vocals can remind of that of Virginia Astley. Kostas Savvides's guitar sounds like David Gilmour's whereas Alix's keyboards weave quiet layers that marvellously complete precious and melancholic themes…
Excellent second efford by this interesting neo-prog band from Greece - and a huge step forward from their first. Their music is very much influenced by early Marillion, Arena and IQ, but they also have a very greek folk flavor in their sound as well. Singer Ima's clear and pure vocals can remind of that of Virginia Astley. Kostas Savvides's guitar sounds like David Gilmour's whereas Alix's keyboards weave quiet layers that marvellously complete precious and melancholic themes. As for the rhythm section, assured by drummer Nick Kassavetis and bassist Hyde, it is definitely solid.
