Orakle

Sounds like Virus, Emperor, the Mars Volta, Muse, and Deathspell Omega mixed together... yea... that's pretty much the formula for the best black metal band I could probably think of. And... of COURSE they are French what do you expect?



"Starting back in the middle of the 90's, under the impulse of 14 yo friends Pierre Pethe (aka. Clevdh) and Frederic Gervais (aka. Achernar), it's only in 2002, with the self-produced EP "L'ineffable émoi", that Orakle lays the foundation stone of their style: an epic, sophisticated black-metal built on contrasts and atmospheres, with French lyrics exclusively.

In 2005, debut album "Uni aux cimes" takes the intensity of the music a step further, revealing Orakle in its rawest, most extreme shape. Three years later, the band gets signed by Holy Records and releases its second effort: the critically acclaimed "Tourments & Perdition", featuring refined, progressive and challenging black-metal. With a growing fanbase, Orakle then performs at numerous venues and festivals, including Hellfest in 2009.

This chapter closed, the band deliberately slips away from the scene, aiming at different aesthetics and more audacious creative forms for their next album.

Now 2015... Orakle signs with Apathia Records and is ready to release "Éclats". Five years of work have been necessary to achieve this 3rd album, where the sophisticated extreme metal of the beginning merges with a more tortuous and experimental metal, but also in a progressive rock with almost pop notes. Recorded and mixed in Henosis Studio by Frederic Gervais, featuring stunning artwork from French sculptor Robert Le Lagadec, "Éclats" will be out on May 11th."

One more positive vote from the team to clear the band for addition.

The bio you posted above, where did you find it so that we can reference it when and if we come to write the bio? Or did you write it yourself?

Thanks
