Album Review: Forteresse - Crepuscule d'Octobre





 Yet again Forteresse has not failed to impress. There is something about black metal from Quebec that is completely mesmerizing. I've always been a fan of French black metal and it seems that across the Atlantic these French Canadians are upholding the French tradition of creating beautiful compositions. Along with Forteresse Quebec has introduced such black metal bands as Gris, Monarque, and Sombre Forets. Forteresse plays somewhat traditional black metal but with an atmospheric influence. Forteresse creates haunting melodies with a combination of  high tremolo picking, brutal vocals, and classic black metal drumming rhythms. This album is nothing less than what i expected from Forteresse.
