Écailles de lune

A definitive blackgaze statement where maritime themes meet shimmering distortion. High-contrast music that feels like moonlight hitting a dark, turbulent ocean.

It's like Cocteau Twins if they grew up on Norwegian black metal and became obsessed with the moon.

A majestic and lonely journey through nocturnal landscapes that balances crushing intensity with fragile beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition in Part 2 where the blast beats erupt through a thick haze of melodic guitar

The sudden, piercing shriek that breaks the calm of Percées de lumière

The final, fragile acoustic notes of Sur l'océan couleur de fer drifting into silence
