Jordan Vauvert Creuser le DSBM qui avait de quoi nous enterrer six pieds sous terre de Ter Ziele (arrêtez de lire ça tout de suite et ecoutez-le si vous ne l'avez pas fait : ça ne sera pas inutile !) : tel est le credo de Déhà avec The Penitent. Before it all est une interminable chute ; d'abord atmosphérique, le DSBM se fait progressivement plus lent et funéraire puis ambiant sur la fin. Deux voix assurent le chant, celles de Déhà et Nokt Aeon, et deviennent parfois de vrais appels à l'aide traumatisants... Favorite track: Before it all (Part II).

VinterVegan The music of Déhà with the voices of Nokt, is the perfect combination, the result is really spectacular, dark, depressing and gloomy Favorite track: Before it all (Part I).

about

THE PENITENT - BEFORE IT ALL

Short-lived duo "Ter Ziele" which only album "There is no useless pain" was sufficient, was a pure depressive metal band by Lore & Déhà, whom you can follow in their successful funeral doom endeavor, 'Slow'.

Yet.

It was without counting the prolific mind of the Belgian producer. In vital need to express more emotions, he decided to create "The Penitent", an even rawer depressive black metal side project, on which there is no hope, no light.

Going back to the basics, the primal influences of such genre like Svartr Strijd, older Hypothermia, Trist (Cz) and their monotonous voyages through raw depression, The Penitent is not only a tribute to this past, but also a blast in the face of 'modern dsbm'.

This first album "Before it all" counts guest vocals from Belarusian Nokt Aeon from bands Dymna Lotva & Absence of Life. Her performance is one of the rawest she has ever done in the past, from whispers, screams to opened cries.

The Penitent is not meant for everyone. No lyrics, no explanation will ever be available as per the band's choices.

Best results when listened to :
. Alone, depressed, lonely, suicidal ...
. During anxiety crisis, psychotic outburst ...
. Sober : no drugs, no alcohol ... no easy way out
. Headphones, loud volume
. Eyes opened
