Really fascinating heavy stuff, almost dubby at times, very serious and urgent and full of warning. Excellent band, really impressed with their approach.
Favorite track: Buffet Frigide.

Quand certaines églises font entrer dans des labyrinthes, errer le regard dans une multitude de fresques, Limbes choisit la ligne droite. Chaque piste est un chemin qui mène naturellement vers une clef de voûte — un point d'équilibre où les émotions exercent la pression la plus forte. Si on se fait malmener sous une pluie de coups et de crachats, percussions et chants invitent à danser.
Un pilier de 2024 !
Favorite track: Buffet Frigide.

Quand le brouillard enlise l’âme,
La peinture fane plus vite
Que les pétales d’un hiver
Aussi dru qu’un pied de pilori.
Quand les pensées ne sont qu’infâmes,
La mélodie est une pluie
Qui se meut comme les vers
De bruits d’un fade infini.
Les lèvres retranchées sur lie
Travesties en voeux de silence
Simulent ce qui est tari
En ignorant le flanc, la lance
Évoluer dans un brouet
Et le souvenir fauchant l'horizon
La cage thoracique comme un loquet
Les côtes à l’unisson.
Quand le pétrole fond vers le ventre,
C’est toute la bouffe qui est dégueulée
Des restes d’un buffet frigide
Qui grouille encore d’asticots.
Quand le strigoï sort de son antre,
Aphrodite, en entier,
Est couverte d’arachnides,
Drapée d’oripeaux.
Envers de cornée, vitraux
Dont on strie les paupières
Renier l'assiégé pataud
Dont on réclame l'eau, la terre.
Se libérer de ce ressac
De lueurs jetées en aumône
Et guetter l'étoile héliaque
Perçant la frondaison des aulnes.
Quand une chape de plomb si lourde
Efface le jour tel une éclipse,
Toute lumière devient d’un gris
Si fade qu’un Vampire peut s’y mouvoir.
Quand frappe de son blanc la foudre
Sur le crâne qui devient poussières,
C’est le monde entier qui blêmit
Gouverné d’une dernière nuit noire.

LIMBES, like BLURR THROWER, is a project that aims to express as fully as possible the diegetic vision of its author.
The aim of LIMBES is to provide a truthful and complete biography, while at the same time attempting to relate his own relationship with depression, religion & his environment. The artist is terrified by notions of finitudes and twilights, faith is both an essential refuge for him and a breeding ground for many of the terrors associated with the post-mortem. The same applies to his ability to describe, in the most sincere colors possible, his feelings about the world on different scales.
LIMBES is therefore an organic confession as much as it is a salvific preaching for its author, through the interplay of mise en abîme and testamentary writings, in which the listener immediately becomes the notary, the witness to a form of transcendental and nebulous prayer, the spectator of a hypersensitive expression.
--------------------
After more than five years with Nantes-based label Les Acteurs de l'Ombre, LIMBES are very proud to be joining the FROZEN RECORDS, which recognises a wide range of talent in a variety of genres, from Black-Metal to Post-Punk, Gothic Rock and Hardcore. LIMBES feel perfectly at home in this rich but demanding universe, and their album LIERNES will be released on 5 July 2024 under these auspices.
This album of ‘atmospheric’ Black Metal - which is what Black Metal is by nature - is made up of four long-form tracks, with ethereal, distant and nebulous production, produced and mixed by LIMBES. The mastering was done with care and talent by Jack Shirley (DEAFHEAVEN, OATHBREAKER…).
LIMBES remain faithful to their characteristic style of languorous, raw, sensitive and literate Black Metal, true and sincere, while taking care to adopt a more accessible approach than in the past. Long, clear, atmospheric tracks mingle with the artist's usual torrents of hypersensitivity.
The artwork was entirely created by Dehn Sora, an artist renowned internationally for his graphic talent and who has worked with some of the biggest names in the dark alternative music we love, such as BLUT AUS NORD, ULVER and AMENRA.

5/5 baudelagon
Brutal and massive yet melodic, dynamic and even delicate. In other words: perfect extreme metal. Pummeling, oppressive, a deep personal and emotional experience. One hell of a ride delivering the pure joy of excellency. Masterpiece. mourner
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
