Top ten albums of 2017. #4 Cephiede "saudade" There is something in France that makes their black metal the highest quality. I dont know if it's the cuisine, the wine or the general disdain for all things non-french but every time i hear the tag "french black metal" my ears perk up. I dont think #cepheide break alot of ground on this new release. It doesn't necessarily reinvent anything in the black metal canon but the band has a je ne sais quoi . The production is great, the songs have those hidden black metal hooks that the initiated can find easily and the vocals shriek in torment. Their last release made my list last year and this one got a lot of play after it's release in october (a perfect month for metal releases). Most of the time i listen to this stuff is on headphones. My wife and kids dont really have an affinity for things this grim. I think that the headphone play really helps this album. I believe it benefits from undivided attention. I dont know if this album will convert your musical taste to kvlt but if you have an ear for it already you will find alot to absorb here.
