Monarque returns with his third full-length and without a doubt his most accomplished to date. Always remaining in the occult and classic side of Black Metal, while paying homage to the early symphonic movement here and there, the band also infuses its very distinctive epic and melancholic side that has earned it many fans worldwide. Featuring as well a raging cover of Québec Black Metal forerunners Frozen Shadows’ “Au Seuil des Ténèbres”, Lys Noir will haunt those who venture into its bleak universe.
