Split release from three French Black metal bands, BA'A, VERFALLEN and HYRGAL.
Bâ'a was born in 2017 from the only will to compose Black Metal.
"Verfallen" {infiniti verb - german} : expire, decay, deteriorate, fall into disrepair. "As a pamphlet of my darkest hours, a testimony of my deleterious moods, I decided to exorcize this mental miasma trough a new musical project. Obscure and violent, personal and private, Verfallen is an Ode to our hidden demons, to our intestine struggles or to our self-representation, in other word, of the worst enemy we could become to ourselves…" - Emmanuel.
Hyrgal pops out from Clement Flandrois’ desire, also known for its former work with Svart Crown, a decade ago. Even if the line up went through some ups and downs, it now proudly bears its slough with this first album as an ornament : Serpentine. Its black metal free from artifices directly goes under the patronage of primal forces, shaking the fragile human structure. It inherit a duality between the rampancy of natural disasters and the peaceful simplicity of melodic parts. We go through this album as if we were in the vast alpine landscape that inspired the album : searching for an original power stirring up at the same time a genuine fear and a irrepressible fascination.
