NEWS - Angellore - "Nocturnes" Gothic Doom Metal

A voice comes singing in my dreams; an incongruous enchantment pulling me away from my simple fantasies, replays of mundane moments and unfounded anxieties. It leads me beneath the boughs of towering trees, through unspoilt alpine meadows and in the shadows of mountain peaks, beneath the glowering eyes of ancient fortresses of blackened stone. Emotions I have never dared to feel, even in my journeys through the realms of sleep, tear me open beneath vast, storm fractured skies…and I awake bereft, my siren still unseen but my heart enraptured.

For nearly twenty years Avignon’s Angellore have ensorcelled and delighted fans and critics alike with their unique blend of gothic doom, folkloric influence, drama, storytelling and grand emotion; weaving traditional instruments into the rich layers of sound that have characterised remarkable, enthralling albums like 2015s "La Litanie des Cendres" and 2020s acclaimed "Rien Ne Devait Mourir", described by Angry Metal Guy as painting “a despairingly beautiful picture for the listener to enjoy”. And now it is time for a new chapter in Angellore’s epic tale, an album that has been slowly developing in the darkness for the best part of ten, long years – their most profoundly affecting creation to date – "Nocturnes"…
