I do not shy away from listening to the lesser know bands out there. It's not about the band, it's about the music. If it appeals to you, then the band recognition means nothing.
Mefitic: Woes of Mortal Devotion
Not a new release, it's 8-years old this year. It's not easy listening especially when the deep sounding vocals are panned out at the background. Also, those guitars are not the typical black metal tones, they sound crunchy, not crusty. In fact, they are on the verge of sounding great. Production is awesome here, every instrument equally audible in the mix.
Shezmu: A Travers Les Lambeaux
Yes, it's entirely in French. No, they are Canadian. Not new as well, a 2020 release. This release is predominantly doom-y against a black metal back drop which I appreciate. It goes to show that you can dwell in one genre & include other elements to make it artistic. Not a new formula but difficult to execute tastefully.
