BORGNE “Royaume des Ombres”

BORGNE
“Royaume des Ombres”
(Sepulchral Prod.)
I don’t know how many times you can mention that the Swiss are best known for watches and chocolate before it gets old but metal isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Borgne is the first band from outside of Quebec to be signed to Sepulchral which must mean that they are special in more ways than one. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I like old Burzum. I have nothing left for the bastard but I like what he created back in the early days. My experience with Sepulchral so far has been that they deal in the same kind of lo-fi black metal that Burzum did. Borgne seem no exception to that rule. This is minimalistic in all its charm. No fancy extravagant arrangements. Just plain black metal done in a very enticing way. Cool. Anders Ekdahl
