In an era where the essence of black metal has been diluted by the sands of time and commercial ambition, GraveNoire stands as the unyielding monument to its original, uncompromising spirit.
Today, GraveNoire is proud to announce the first beacon from their much-anticipated new studio album, “Devant La Porte Des Étoiles” – the premiere single, “France de l’Ombre”.
Crafted in the crucible of raw emotion and shrouded mysteries, “France de l’Ombre” is a declaration, a ritualistic embrace of the shadows that define our existence. This composition dives deep into the heart of darkness, resurrecting the primordial sounds of 90s black metal, intertwined with the unique mystical essence that courses through GraveNoire’s veins. It’s a journey back to the roots, back to a time when music was a gateway to the primal and the arcane.
GraveNoire, forged in the sacred fires of artistic rebellion and spiritual awakening, channels the raw, unfiltered energies of spectral and telluric realms. This song, like each chapter of “Devant La Porte Des Étoiles”, serves as a tome, inscribed with the ink of defiance and the undying lust for transcendence. The musicianship of GraveNoire, a covenant of beings bound by their shared lineage within the pantheon of black metal elites such as Anorexia Nervosa, BÂ’A, and Diablation, ascends in “France de l’Ombre” to guide listeners through forgotten paths under a starlit dome.

GraveNoire was formed in early 2022 by Maximilien Brigliadori (BÂ’A, Diablation, former Hyrgal), Emmanuel Zuccaro (BÂ’A, Verfallen, former Hyrgal), Vicomte Vampyr Arkames (Diablation (former Seth / Ad-Inferna) and RMS Hreidmarr (Glaciation, BÂ’A, former Anorexia Nervosa / The CNK), with the clear intention of reconnecting with their past and a somewhat uncompromising vision of 90s Black Metal.
The band’s first album, “Devant La Porte Des Étoiles”, was recorded live on rehearsal, with no tracking, no triggers, no click track, no artifice. No compromise with reality, for it is through it and by it that we foresee other dimensions.
GraveNoire is not, however, merely nostalgic or backward-looking; it’s a project deeply rooted in its native lands, in their popular as well as spiritual and mystical traditions, drawing its essence from sacred places, cosmic architecture and primordial telluric forces. “The cosmos is a revolving door”.
