To ignite thirst, through enthroning blackscapes and suffocating, hypnotic noise.
While such a description might seem nebulous, it depicts quite accurately the atmospheres created by the French ensemble. DANISHMENDT crafts ambiances like no other band, and if their scope can be reduced with a few words (such as Black Metal, Doom, Noise...), no genre seem to fit them, and they seem to fit none. Quite content about it, the five lurkers evolve between borders in a world of their own.
“Un Passé Aride” furthers their journey into obsidian fields and post-apocalyptic dull cities, through seven brooding and crushing episodes. “Un Passé Aride” evokes thirst, and a bleak horizon.
