Album Review: Viande – L’abime dévore les âmes (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Dark and atmospheric death metal band, Viande will release their debut album, L’abime dévore les âmes on April 15th, 2022 via Transcending Obscurity Records.

More than just another death metal band that claims to do things darker, Viande showcase an atmospheric side that really adds depth to their extremely harsh metal side.

This is a sonic attack that alternates between lumbering beastliness and ferocious destruction. All with a thick layer of dark atmospheric dust. The gloom coming almost immediately with the hellacious opener Les Dents Du Gouffre and the adamant assault that is Le Ventre Monde.

Let darkness spread throughout the land, Viande have made a powerful statement already and that is further enhanced with the innate savagery of La Tomb Avide and Miroir Decharne. If any further proof that Viande are putting out of some of the heaviest music heard this year, then these two tracks will provide.

This level of intensity and this level of black-covered death metal has the ability to choke as it goes down. Though, there’s no disputing that it becomes easier to swallow as the blood being forced up the throat makes for a nice lubricant. Le Souffle Des Os, Traitre A La Vie and Lueurs De Cendres slide down with minimal fuss.

The last bout of potential suffocation comes in the form of Langues De Brume and sees Viande close this debut out with all the dark atmospheric noise of a delirious nightmare.
