FORET D’ORIENT is a newcoming band from Italy, having formed two years ago and they make their debut appearance in the worldwide metal scene with their EP “Essedvm” that showcases high quality black metal.
Their black metal, though, isn’t monolithic or one-dimensional, but it’s rather the contrary since it’s enriched with a great deal of atmospheric and symphonic elements. Some songs have a classical and even a baroque approach something that combined with the sharpness and frostiness that emanates from their black metal creates a really intriguing and enjoyable end result. The use of the harp is something that elevates the compositions making them sound multi-layered and more beautiful. The musicianship and skills of all the band members are top notch and so is the production that’s clear and powerful, giving you the chance to understand and listen to everything in the songs. If you are fans of bands like HAGGARD then you’ll surely like “Essedvm”!
