Today, Wolfspell Records sets December 21st as the international release date for Nachteule’s striking second album, Bergdorf.
Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, the one-man Nachteule indeed reverberates with the same freezing passion so endemic of French-Canadian black metal, which has captured the public’s imagination this past decade. The work of one Noctis – who also counts Alkymist, Calvaire, and Maeskyyrn among his prolific projects – less than a year after forming, Nachteule already delivered a massive debut album last year titled Vaste inconnu, and now arrives the punchier and more compact Bergdorf. While exhibiting a similarly splendorous aspect in his melodicism as his French-Canadian BM contemporaries, Noctis here dives deeply into a sort of “grim gorgeousness,” like ancient Polish black metal given flight by shoegazing swirl. Rest under no delusion, however, that this isn’t anything but the purest black metal: Bergdorf is a cold, old world unto itself, much like its cover art.
Nachteule’s Bergdorf will be released on digipack CD with booklet. In the meantime, the album is streaming in its entirety HERE
