Menace Ruine / Die Is Cast

Alien 8

The Die is Cast sees MENACE RUINE eschewing the howling vocals and blast beats of their previous work and replacing them with majestic songs based around the vocal style of GENEVIEVE and the anthemic medieval music that bares much more resemblance to Neo-Folk than Black Metal. The band’s sound is far more approachable this time around, yet remains challenging at the same time. Somber tunes propelled by slow-paced martial percussion, ambient electronics and droning feedback are carried by an incredibly powerful vocal performance by Geneviève. Menace Ruine set out to make a concept record based around medieval music, without sacrificing their intensity and they have managed to do so with gloriously.
