Album Review: "L'Œuvre Au Noir" by Brüle
french stoner/DOOM band
https://thebandbrule.bandcamp.com/album/l-uvre-au-noir-2
Brüle, the 3 piece french stoner/DOOM band, from South Of France (Perpignan), just released their first full length album, "L'Œuvre Au Noir”. The album features nine tracks that showcase the group's signature blend of stoner, doom, and occult.
The lead single, "La Bruixa Del Sol”, is a masterclass in slow heavy doom riffage with soaring lead vocals on top. The dynamic occult melodies lock into the sludgy laid back pocket, capturing the true essence of doom.
Other standout tracks on the album include "This Life", a perfect track 2 on the album, full of catchy stoner hooks within their brand of Doom and “Seal Of Lucifer", a powerful mid tempo doom track with a riff cooked in a fire, and “Land Of Nod”, showcasing more of the bands time spent in scorched earth.
Overall, "L'Œuvre Au Noir" is a complex masterclass of different and connected parts, in which some describe it as Solar Doom. The songs are mesmerizing and memorable, and the lyrics are thought-provoking. If you're a fan of Brüle, or even if you're new to their music, I highly recommend checking out "L'Œuvre Au Noir” to explore the occult side of your soul.
