L’Homme Absurde - Monsters (2016, Fono Ltd.)
Sold as a
Post Black Metal album, Monsters by
the Russians of L’Homme Absurde, a
concept borrowed from Albert Camus,
is a Melodic Post Black Metal cum Blackgaze etc. This record enters well into
the genre that links Locrian, Deafheaven, and Ashbringer. It captures this melodic melted with shoegaze craze
that Sunbather unleashed upon our
world of American Black Metal that is not in the vein of the Second Wave or the
Scandinavian Black Metal. L’Homme
Absurde was at first a one man band formed by drummer A. (Mare Infinitum, Who Dies In Siberian Slush, Comatose
Vigil) in 2015 and in 2016 joined by Georgiy Bykov (Mare Infinitum also) and Isod on the guitars and Yuri S. handling
the bass.
