Noire - Dark Reverence (2013)

Noir is a progressive black metal band for fans of "Dissection, Opeth, Emperor and Enslaved". They are mid tempo and the music is very dark and dynamic with heavy use of melody, harmony. Both guitars work together in tandem complimenting each other which creates a very rich sounding, musical texture. The bass connects the main melody to the drums, while keeping its identity, which are committed to the natural rhythms laid out by the guitars. The vocals are clear and audible but still gritty enough to deliver the lightless subject matter. Overall Noir believes in musical unity. There are moments of beauty, sorrow, somberness and brutality which allows the audience to truly make a connection with the band.
