Les vacances sont bientôt là et je me voyais déjà à siroter un mojito/margarita/bière les pieds en éventail mais ce n’était sans compter sur une surprise de taille !

Presque 5 ans après notre dernière collaboration je me vois de nouveau confier une sortie du label Les Acteurs de l’ombre Productions !

Et pas des moindres, puisqu’il s’agit de leur nouvelle signature : ASET. Si ce nom ne te dit rien pour le moment, il n’en sera pas de même à l’évocation des membres qui le compose…

ASET, entité protéiforme impliquant notamment des membres de SETH et Oranssi Pazuzu invitera son auditeur à une plongée dans l’Astral mystique.

Ce concept, mêlant des rites occultes égyptiens à un black metal moderne et agressif, sortira sa première offrande le 22 septembre 2023.

Et comme une bonne nouvelle n’arrive jamais seule je m’occuperai du label pour au moins les 3 prochaines sorties à venir

NEFARIOUS MASH is a one man band of black metal funded at the end of 2021 by Eddy Jaber, a contemporary music composer who wanted to build bridges between this music and extreme metal. Its aesthetic consists in a mix of two worlds : combining the brutal scene’s power and bestial energy with the richness of avant-garde, experimental’s vocabulary. That’s how on november 18th 2022 he released his first album : « In memory of your hopes », which contains nine tracks for a total running time of 50 minutes.

The result is an extended approach of harmony and dissonance, with some colors taken from contemporary music and jazz, provided by a very thick, powerful and frontal wall of sound. A few polyrhythmic surprises are made to punctuate those harmonic constructions, leading to violent, unstable and boiling surges of sound. A lot of voice tones come to interpret the lyrics with strength, but also with flexibility to make the voice a real rhythmic thing unto itself despite abundant prose lyrics.

The lyrics of this album (influenced by Nietzsche) describe the wanderings, traps and behavioral poisons which ruin the greatness of modern men, but also their psyche and the relation they have with their fellows. It’s also about the illusory mechanisms by which they try to escape the awareness of this perdition, ever more necrotic and unworthy. A portrait of the inner evils eating us all more or less is drawn from there, portrait which invites the reader/listener to think by questioning his own condition.

The first album « In Memory of Your Hopes » is fully available on youtube. You can also listen to and buy the album on his bandcamp : Bandcamp
