This is a very old video that I was aware at the time was a “controversial “ topic because they’re openly Nationalist. They always have been only the outcry started when Famine did Black Face so you can stop pretending you weren’t aware of it before the year of 2018. I feel like I should state after all these years later I’m not apologizing for making this.
Thanks for the great video and for not apologizing. There are already enough SJW-bootlickers and cowards in the metal scene, so it's pretty refreshing to see somebody just saying "I love this band's music and I don't care if they hold up opinions that make you have a mental breakdown." I appreciate.
@Jack Nicholson he's gone through many different styles, and to be honest, I like his more recent work a lot better. Scar Sighted is an absolute beast. Give it a try.
La Chaise Dyable (and you said it right) is my favorite one, the mix of French old songs, black metal and medieval harmonies is awesome to me And yes I know they're NS I speak French, but I only care about the music The thing about the song you're talking about, is not just one ghost, it's the whole French rural country that is filled with old ghosts, with graveyards filled with more people than the actual people living in the village
I never really listened to Peste Noire but I guess Imma go balls out and listen to all of their stuff now! As for suggestions for your next worst to best... I’ll just be basic and say do HIM or Mütiilation, my dude.
Their debut album was one of the first black metal albums I ever heard, so glad it was! And yeah track 7 on it is absolutely beautiful, heard it so many times.
I must say that I disagree, the last album Peste Noire/ Peste Noire does have some glorious moments, especially the second half. This is really the kind of music you want to listen when you go for a walk in the city at night, the album has much less of a rural vibe as the formers. But I think that it is mandatory to at least understand french well to fully get the album, and in particular the last track, "Domine", which is for me one of the best track ever conceived by Famine. The track is really introspective and personal, really emotional, the first time I heard it it left me in awe. I am a big fan of Peste Noire, they are one of the first black metal band that I really get into, along with Diapsiquir, and you really have to get what they are saying to fully appreciate their works, for both of them. Whatever Famine choose to do with his life, I will always be thankful to him for giving birth to such incredible music. L'ordure à l'état pur will forever be a pinnacle of musical genius.
Oh, and Folkluck Folie has been conceived solely to piss off Alcest fans who where still listening to Peste Noire at the time, that's why it's just raw agression, the album was meant to be unpleasant and devoid of melodies.
@@hugonicolas987 Hum, that's not what Famine said in his interview with militant zone... He said the sound engineer just destroyed it... but never said it was aim to piss anyone off or to be unpleasant to hear. Where does this information come from ? (especially that he has nothing against Neige, right the contrary)
Gotta disagree with you about Peste Noire / Peste Noire. I found the album decent but those last two tracks are just awful In my opinion. Totally unneeded.
This is the only RU-vid channel i follow, simply because it's the best one. I Love KPN and your number one is on my top 10 albums ever. But I have to protest the hate against the split. I think the BM part is pretty fucking great and Aux Armes is a class track. Not even the worst album.
I speak french, not as my mother tongue, but I'm pretty fluent since I live in Switzerland for years and always studied in the local french speaking schools. The lyricism in their latest album is not nearly as good as in the other albums, it just sounds kinds dumb in some parts of the album. It's almost like it's done on purpose.
As much as I love "Aux armes" from their latest album,its lyrics are one of the most shallow things Famine has ever written. However La Chaise-Dyable has really good lyrics imo. The overall concept of those lyrics has definetely changed,but in this particular context which Famine took on them,they are really good. But when it comes to their last album I couldn't agree more
i don't agree with the n.s views and other stuff but i love the way how they can play fast and chaotic and with a bit of folk metal is cool. from a person who is mix with black asian native american i can appreciate music and being open minded and not judge people because there views are different if you can respect me i respect you.
i really liked Split, it is really an album for their french fans, for exemple the last song "domine" is a poem not really a song. for french speaking people who can really understand it is a masterpiece just not as a song .
@@koroband. Mouais... personnellement je préfère quand Famine fait de la musique plutôt que de la poésie, je pense qu'il est plus doué dans l'un que dans l'autre.
I learnt to read french for bandes dessinnes and his lyrics are total poetry. He is almost as good as baudelaire to me. This guy up there is stupid. I love the latest one. Very much
The most recent album was indeed a disappointment overall, but Aristocrasse is such a work of genius that it would have to have a higher spot for me, at least above Folkfuck Folie. Aux Armes is also very good- these tracks in particular reward multiple listens, and benefit from an understanding of the lyrics. Alcest would be my suggestion for your next worst to best.
Funny you mention М8Л8ТХ as I was just thinking about them. Wouldn't even call them black metal, more like bottom shelf Nazi Hardcore/metalcore with a vocalist who screams like he is being castrated. My list - Debut - L'odure - Ballade - Peste Noire - la chaise - Folk fuck - Split
m8l8th started out as black metal (demo era). Their debut album was black metal as well, but with a tiny little bit of metalcore influence. At the time, it was easy to rationalize this somewhat heretical metalcore element by saying "they're a Russian band, they have different cultural inroads into black metal than a Norwegian or Greek band, modern RAC, football hooligan culture, etc." It's a genuinely good album, albeit a little silly. Their new stuff though... good lord.
French bm has a distinctive way of riffing and melodies that give it the best ballads in bm. Everything from KPM to Baise MAHache and Autarcie to Diapsiquir and Sale Freux. Oh, and there's Alcest, I guess. . .
@1chaoz I will admit I'm not too familiar with their discographies, I have heard a bit of Mortifera but not enough to really compare. It was good stuff none the less.
I really would not be able to sort l'Ordure / La Chaise Dyable / Peste Noire from top to bottom the rest's aguably below those 3 but I just can't compare them. Although we are a little harsh on Split, Aristocrasse is in my top 5 for sure
And now, what are you thinking of the new album ''Le retour des pastoureaux'' ? (also loving how you destroyed french pronunciation but don't worry, this is more funny than annoying :) )
Totally agree with this,altho I think I'd put La Chaise-Dyable higher and I'd move Peste Noire from 2013 and Ballade cuntre lo Anemi francor to the top positions. Don't get me wrong,I love La Sanie des siècles,but those 2 albums are much more "dirty" and "visceral" imo. Plus they are one of my favourite if not totally favourite black metal albums,when it comes to the production
idk why everyone shits on their latest record. the first half was basically an extension of la chaise-dyable, second half was a new approach to l'ordure. to each their own, but damn, the riffs on that record are nowhere close to the generic easy listening shit m8l8th are shitting out. if anything, m8l8th's newer releases have been kpn-influenced rather than vice versa.
regarding 2009 "Ballade Cuntre Lo Annemi Francor", most of the lyrics from this album are taken from french nationalists / historic / traditional songs, when it's not literally some 15th century patriotic poem like the eponym song. songs like "La France Bouge", royalist, antisemitic song from the 1900/1910's, "Le Clan" which has massive National Socialist undertones, "les Hussards de Bercheny", french military adaptation from the Warszawianka, and "honneur et fidélité" whose title speaks for itself. this album roots deep into the culture of french nationalism and mixes it with typical black metal dirtiness. it's honestly the most political album they ever made (with the exception of the exetremly antisemitic "la bêche et l'épée..." on the self titled), and Neige plays on it, although under pseudonym.
@@lucasstruna3962 Cover presented in the video is a version for the vinyl LP. This version has also slightly different track list due the lengths of the tracks.
Ahh to be an American unable to pronounce most album titles, song titles, and probably the band name itself, of your favorite band...(and I'm referring to myself here) I agree with your top 3 but I would move s/t to number 1 and put your number 1 at number 3.
Where should I go to buy Peste Noire stuff? Discogs has a little bit but not much. Would it be worth it to buy their debut for $55 on CD? Sorry for all the questions lmao
I can understand why people find M8l8th's vocals irritating, but there's nothing wrong with the black metal itself, and it's pretty unique and interesting as far as black metal goes.
Helvete Ulver cause it allows them to have more room to do more with their sound I guess. Regardless if it’s 2 minutes or 20 minutes of music in song if it’s good to me then simply put it’s good
@@josq81 wtf? That's like saying we should monitor Ozzy. We're all adults here people. If you don't like don't listen. -.- I hate rap, but I don't wish for their music to not be available to buy for those who do like rap...
@@VenusTemple These are the days of our lifes. I have noticed difficulities puchasing PN albums. And so are sellers with PN merchendise. I got my copy (Peste Noire split Peste Noire) from Moscow. A little while ago i tried to purchase PN:s Ballade Cuntre....album from Ebay. It was banned in the middle of auction. Why? Because "controversial content". 🤦🏻♂️
For me the list would look like this: 7. Folkfuck Folie 6. Split 5. Ballade 4. Sanie (if it had Phalènes et pestilence from the demo, it would easily go up in ranks) 3. L'Ordure 2. Chaise Dyable 1. Peste Noire (selftitled)
I don't really get the occasional love of that LP/Split(?). The consensus is against it, but every once and a while I see people who like it. What is it that you like about it, if you don't mind me asking?
I like NSBM it has a unique sound, not this band though. I like Goatmoon, and Wolfkrieg. No I'm not a Nazi, it's like calling someone a Christian for liking August Burns Red it's ignorant haha.
Not gonna judge people enjoying kpn albums, y'all grown ups. But I find it weird talking about them not mentionning it is a far right band. I mean, not just another BM band led by rightwinged dudes, but genuine identitarian militants writing far-right infused music (thematicaly, lyrically). I guess you would all point out that other rabm band is politically invested. It's kind of a big contortionist move to talk about their music without mentionning the political side of it.
Whether you agree or not NSBM is made by some of the best black metal bands out there while RABM is notoriously cringe and completely against what black metal represents as a whole. I hold my own views and don’t necessarily fit into left or right so I’m not saying this with my own views in mind.
@@timgray2333 I wasn't even talking about artistic value here. But as you go this road, except a few well known names, I don't have in mind many NSBM records that stand out for not being forgettable, (or totally sh*t.) But let's say everyone's taste is different. Having said that, convince me being far right irl make your music more subversive (fascist ideologies are becoming mainstream in many western countries)
It might be harsh for non french speakers who love Peste Noire, but you can't judge Peste Noire if you don't speak french (or at least if you didn't translate the lyrics). You can like it, somehow, of course, but if you're not paying attention to the text, you're wasting almost everything. One could argue it's the same for Norwegian bands, but really... it's not (most of the time).
Gauthier in my free time I translate the lyrics but overall I listen to music no matter what genre for its sound as well if it’ll entertain me and that’s what PN does for me.
MrLando0 apart of me thinks so but another part of me thinks it’s all about their “dark humor” and their “hooligan” attitude they have. They use to have a bass player who had some Philippines heritage which kinda contradicts them being Nazis in a way. Regardless if they are (cause they’re still sketchy) or not I can’t deny the music they create is godly.
@@HannibalBurgers I saw that. Aren't they connected to MGLA? And MGLA shows were cancelled because of it? I just can't get on board with NSBM personally, but I do like MGLA.
