Méditation Astrale

by Âqen

supported by

Umbra Cornuta Mind-drifting to ethereal, dark places. Obscurity! My existence, just a brief moment in space and time. My body, a cage. Memories vanished. Where will I go from here? Forever is such a long time.
Brilliant album! Took me to an unforgiving but contemplative state. Âqen's musicianship is irreproachable. Favorite track: Dialogue Sidéral.

bmurator French Atmospheric Black Metal. One man project, Â, this has some fantastic atmospheres & is very intense. It is sung in French with a great & unusual voice (at least for me!), making the entire album quite unique. Plus the instrumental work is stellar so... There has not been anything else from Â but the Metal Archives say he is still going so it would be nice to have a new album... :) No faves & highly recommended!!!

endurethebliss Immediately drawn to the water, I love the brutal energy- almost how the ocean can drown you beneath the waves, too. Everything in this album is perfect to me, cover to cover Favorite track: Sinistre Cauchemar.

Mark Odium A Very Nice Mixture Between Doom Metal And Grim Old School Black Metal. I Like It Very Much! Favorite track: Sinistre Cauchemar.

sfcr This is a very good mix between old school BM and Doom. Very talented musicians who are able to create an atmosphere of gloomy doom. Favorite track: Dialogue Sidéral.

Wolf Bro's. Can't wait for this lp.

about

ÂQEN is the manifestation of a relentless and fierce entity. With "Méditation Astrale", this mighty French solo project in the vein of Shining will summon disaster in the heart of all the weak minds that cross its way.

This second album is a perfectly crafted mixture of violence, bleak atmosphere and meditative music.

Iris
by Altars of Grief

supported by 29 fans who also own “Méditation Astrale”

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 26 fans who also own “Méditation Astrale”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-

An outstanding slab of atmospheric black metal, “Sisyphus” cannily blends texture and terror for a gripping final product. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2021
