Year of No Light (FR) Down Tempo / Psychedelic / Shoegaze
The psychedelics just kicked in and YONL began to breath. As the line-up was getting solid, the 5 members tried to clarify their intentions and started to build the basis of what would be their first demo, recorded in 2004. It’s rather critical acclaim, quoting YONL as being “The Cure playing sludge”, combined with live review becoming more and more encouraging, compelled the band into the writing of new tracks.
YONL’s servants decided to subsequently overshadow their neuroses with shades of noise rock, hardcore punk and ambient drones tones coupled with tormented black metal vocals. Sounding like “Loveless with slumber party massacre passages”, “Nord” takes form in Geneva under the direction of Serge Morratel. 2006†: the material ends up as a 2LP on E-vinyl & Atropine and as a cd on Radar Swarm. 2007†: YONL pledges allegiance to Crucial Blast and “Nord” hits Decibel Magazine’s top 40 extreme albums.
2009. The smoke is still there. After YONL singer’s disintegration, a new line-up (featuring members from Monarch! and Aeroflot) raised in order to expand the band’s praxis into wilder spaces and landscapes. A new worship of melancholy and electricity is on the verge. The new offering is ready for the next sacrifice. Still no caps, no core neither mongoloid modern nihilism but instead an ambiguous will to improve our drug intakes in order to afford our forthcoming metaphysical crash. Fuck you. And pray for us.
Altar of Plagues (IR)
Irish act Altar of Plagues was formed in 2006. Their sound has been described in many differed ways, but terms that are most frequently used include black metal, metal 'gaze', and progressive or post metal. The act themselves consider black metal to be the genre to which they are most attached, but admit that they are not a black metal band. The band has been quoted to take influence from acts ranging from Darkthrone to Bjork. Members of Altar of Plagues are also known to be actively involved in environmental conservation and this is said to be their primary lyrical inspiration. This unusual mix of music and circumstance has led to Altar of Plagues appealing to a wide variety of listeners and these may be seen by the diverse range of acts Altar of Plagues have toured with, including Isis and Mayhem, as well as having appeared at festivals that focus on extreme metal and festivals that encourage experimentation and diversity.
Following the release of only one demo and an EP (entitled "Sol" ), Altar of Plagues signed to Canadian label, Profound Lore Records. In 2009 the act released "White Tomb", an album that was described by a number of critics as one of 2009's best and most exciting releases. 2009 saw the band tour throughout Europe, with 2010 proving to be an even more promising year for the act with a new E.P release on Roadburn records as well as receiving an invitation to perform at the Roadburn Festival.
