Albums like this remind me why I love doing this blog. Tour d'Ivoire is a new project on Antiq featuring members of Grylle, Cercle Du Chene and most important to me Vehemence. Their self titled debut is an atmospheric black metal album to capture your imagination and guide you into the otherworld. There is something distinctly magical about Tour d'Ivoire and the immaculate vibes and vision of this album are delectable. It's the sort of black metal record that really gets to the gorgeous nature of the genre at its absolute finest.
Tour d'Ivoire shines because of the potency of the vision behind the music. The sparkling compositions and the epic vibes are utterly addictive. There is a scope to the work that makes it undeniable and a thrill to the sound that keeps me entranced with what the band has done here. It's a record that is somewhat in line with these musicians previous work but sees them exploring medieval black metal vibes in a different, more atmospheric way. These four long form songs continue to confess a deep love for the middle ages but go deep in letting listeners see into the mystical universes of which Tour d'Ivoire seem to so gracefully take part.
This is a magical record, an album with a distinctive vision and potent sounds running throughout the allows listeners to get lost in a time forgot. There is something wonderfully delightful about the ambition and vision behind Tour d'Ivoire and for those of us entranced with this world it's hard not to want to dig further into what the band has created here. Tour d'Ivoire understand the golden magic of this sound and are certain to get listeners digging in deeper to all that has been created.
Pre-order the album!
