By the first preview claustrophobic atmosphere and underground terror the album falls the listener into the mine tunnels with a cinematic intro blending menacing keyboard pads and the sounds of pickaxes followed with French narration ….. as Galibots means apprentice miners with an historical theme the lyrics deal with black faces, pit horses and the tragic fate of child miners (The Galibots, Les Galibots in French), creating an atmosphere that is at once epic, angry and full of despair, the sound evokes a raging hell and a visceral tribute to the land.

The production is described as rough and abrupt, but significantly more legible, allowing the sharp melodies and martial rhythms with tempo changes at right time to stand out now you can add this album to your collection., overall, the recording and mixing are perfect, cutting edge of technology (modern production), guitars are incisive with a surprising groove for Black Metal (a little not too much ), while the drums remain correctly executeDiffamie's (Agathe's) voice is a major highlight, delivering a furious and spectral scream (but not too much evil just aggressive) that manages to remain intelligible despite the fury, Euch’mau Noir Bis alternates between fast and aggressive tracks…...tracks to pay attention Cheval De Fosse, Les Nords, and the best of the album Schlamms

In any case, with its strong local roots and an album cover that adequately describes the theme and subject matter, Galibot stands out as a remarkable discovery of the French black metal scene………….. now you can add this album to your collection.

Autarkeon - Sous la surface (2026) (Single)

 


Label: Self-Released

Autarkeon is a solo project of French underground Old School Death metal a blend of raw power and dark atmospheres, which has existed for over 15 years.

Recently Autarkeon self-released "Sous la surface / Under the Surface" the first preview sound who take pleasure to the ears of old schooler with old guitar riffs from first wave of death metal

A raw, dark, gritty aesthetic inherited from the late 80s and early 90s. Unlike modern productions often considered too polished or academically uniform, this single feature an organic sound texture and a strong presence of macabre imagery, not to mention the cavernous, resonant effect, especially in relation to the vocals. Abyssal vocals: deep, guttural growls that seem to come from beyond the grave, prioritizing raw emotion, raw crushing music with fuzzy guitars and tempo changes at right time, unfortunately the drum programming not very fit with this work in any case is there a little similarity with some great names maybe Autopsy ,Pestilence, Cancer maybe Protector (I’m not sure) ……

Autarkeon proves his ability to reinventing their own universe.
