Old BM bands from France

Hailz,

My name is Ognjen, I am from Serbia. I recently dug out my old demo tapes and found those of FUNEBRES NUPTIAE and MALDOROR, two bands from south east of France, where Drakkar is also.

I exchanged mail with Daniel who was member of these two projects around 1993/1994. I was wondering if he is still around playing some BM stuff. I also remember OSCULUM INFAME and MALEFICUM ORGIA and NEKROMANTIK, great bands from France !

Also MACHIAVEL I found. Never heard ov them ?

Pozdrav iz Srbije

machiavel was a very promising band IMO - i think it's the band of the guy behind aura mystrique

Wasn't it Noctis ?

just looked at metal archives, and it's Sadneth, who was on some boards...

my mistake

The guy was doing SA MEUTE lately, but I guess the whole thing has disbanded by now.

GORGON might be something you'd like to check, if you're interested in NECROMANTIC.

Sa Meute = Maldoror ?

the 50 contre 1 les paris sont ouverts album is a bit difficult to get in, but has great moments. The voice is the main barrier I think.

A split with Gorgon is planned, if I'm correct this morning, hardly awake, along with OTAL.

Wasn't the previous band of the SA MEUTE guy called MIRCALLA ?

Both albums from SA MEUTE were great IMO, and I do agree that the voice may rebuke some, even if personnaly I had no problems with it.

Well, GORGON's EP and first album were great. After these they became more and more average, yet not bad at all too.

Guys, when i was a little boy, i met some guy on the internet who also had a black metal band, but all his releases were only available as free downloads.

He sang about suicide and these themes and i think i can remember a machine gun on a backcover or cover.

Does anyone know the band i am talking about? I can´t remember it´s name.

If i am not totally wrong his gf was also in the band.

pagan assault?

nope

Yes OTAL/GORGON split is/was planned two years ago I think. OTAL material on it is very good (if you can take some faulty drum machine though), Gorgon part is pure gorgon, leave or take. I don't know why the fuck it's not out already (I got it two years ago haha, funny), I'm not even sure it will be released one day.

NECROMANTIC still active, some gigs a planned in south of France

The VLAD demos were good.

Thanks for the info. I know Chris of GORGON, we used to write each other and trade Venom stuff since he was a huge fan of the band. I also bought his first GORGON demo tape in 1992. He was also distributing Holocaust zine (Poland) one of the best zines around.
