Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wynter-arvn-sous-lorage-noir-lastre-et-la-chute-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wÿntër Ärvń – Sous l’Orage Noir – L’Astre et la Chute Review</a></p><p><i>By Twelve</i></p><p><strong>Wÿntër Ärvn</strong> is a really cool project. It takes its inspiration from black metal of the ’90s and channels it into an almost fully acoustic and almost fully instrumental framework, building on many familiar feelings from that space—bitterness, inner struggles, anger, the usual stuff—in a pleasant, rather than jarring way. The French one-man project writes on acoustic guitars and builds on it such instruments as the cello, shakuhachi, and, yes, <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wynter-arvn-abysses-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clarinet</a>—but no electric guitars in sight. It’s a powerful concept and worked very well on <em>Abysses</em>, to the delight of the venerable <span><strong>Emya</strong></span>. Following up is always tricky, but a new album is here to continue the journey; how does <em>Sous l’Orage Noir – L’Astre et la Chute </em>stand up?</p><p>I should admit straightaway that I didn’t love <em>Abysses</em>. On paper, it’s right up my alley—gorgeous dark and neo folk music with a beating heart from black metal- but I found that its lack of immediacy meant it didn’t work so well for me as it did for <span><strong>Emya </strong></span>(and a lot of you). <em>Sous l’Orage Noir – L’Astre et la Chute</em>—<em>Under the Black Storm – The Star and the Fall</em>—challenged my preconceived biases fast with “Un Voile sur l’Azur,” a calming, peaceful tune that utilizes bagpipes and whistles from Geoffroy Dell’Aria (<strong>Les Bâtards du Nord</strong>, <strong>Épaves</strong>) to stunning effect. Similarly, “Remembrances” is a gorgeous song in a similar vein, with compelling acoustic guitar and a beautiful hurdy-gurdy lead that has placed it among my most-listened-to songs over the past few weeks. It is evocative—mesmerizing, even—with an appropriately strong sense of melancholy and nostalgia that hangs over <em>Sous l’Orage Noir</em> in the best possible way.</p><p></p><p>As alluded to above, there is a strong diversity of instruments across <em>Sous l’Orage Noir</em>, thanks in part to a variety of guest musicians. Raphaël Verguin (<strong>In Cauda Venenum</strong>, <strong>Psygnosis</strong>) provides cello for “Ad Vesperam,” Vittorio Sabelli (<strong>Dawn of a Dark Age</strong>) performs clarinet for “Vingt Ans de Brouillard” and “L’Astre et la Chute,” and there’s even a harp from Laurène Telennaria (<strong>Orkhys</strong>). Similarly, not all tracks are instrumental, with singing and a few growls (Judith De Lotharingie of <strong>Ofdrykkja</strong> and <strong>Wÿntër Ärvń</strong> himself, respectively) making rare appearances throughout. Many of these elements were present in <em>Abysses</em>, of course, but I love the way the songwriting, production, and album direction support them. The way Sabelli’s clarinet emerges as if from the titular fog in “Vingt Ans de Brouillard” is so memorable, as is the way “Appelé à l’Abîme” builds and builds before Telennaria’s singing descends as if from a great distance. <strong>Wÿntër Ärvń </strong>demonstrates excellent songwriting on <em>Sous l’Orage Noir</em>, like the best of <strong>October Falls</strong>, while taking influence from across the French metal scene.</p><p></p><p>There are only two things I don’t love about <em>Sous l’Orage Noir</em> (a great thing to be able to say for a dark folk album). The first is that I’m not convinced the growls work with the music. While I understand the relation to black metal, I think <strong>Wÿntër</strong> <strong>Ärvń</strong>’s is too removed from the original style—his hoarse, rough growling is a stark contrast to a song as lovely as “Ad Vesperam,” and breaks my immersion a bit. It’s not even a bad choice—the backdrop of chants and percussion supports it really well, but the song itself is almost peaceful up to that point. The second is that I don’t think the back half of the album does enough to distinguish itself from the first four or five tracks, making <em>Sous l’Orage Noir</em> feel a bit front-loaded. I don’t love the melody in “L’Astre et la Chute, for example;” it feels passive, while “Sous L’Orage Noir” leans a bit too much on repetition. Neither are bad songs, but they don’t do much to keep up the momentum from the openers.</p><p>On the other hand, these are the same qualities that make it so easy to load <strong>Wÿntër Ärvń</strong>, close your eyes, and get carried away by the music. There is a phenomenal sense of flow to <em>Sous l’Orage Noir – L’Astre et la Chute </em>that complements its style so well. Whether you’re a fan of metal or folk, there’s something to love here. In my mind, <em>Sous l’Orage Noir</em> is a step up from <em>Abysses</em>, and has made me a real fan of <strong>Wÿntër Ärvń</strong>— I can’t wait to see where the music flows from here.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 3.5/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 8 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://antiqrecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Antiq Records</a><br><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="http://facebook.com/wynterarvnneofolk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/wynterarvnneofolk</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> March 7th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/antiq-records/" target="_blank">#AntiqRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/dawn-of-a-dark-age/" target="_blank">#DawnOfADarkAge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/epaves/" target="_blank">#Épaves</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/french-metal/" target="_blank">#FrenchMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/in-cauda-venenum/" target="_blank">#InCaudaVenenum</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/les-batards-du-nord/" target="_blank">#LesBâtardsDuNord</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mar25/" target="_blank">#Mar25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/neofolk/" target="_blank">#Neofolk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/october-falls/" target="_blank">#OctoberFalls</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ofdrykkja/" target="_blank">#Ofdrykkja</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/orkhys/" target="_blank">#Orkhys</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/psygnosis/" target="_blank">#Psygnosis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sous-lorage-noir-lastre-et-la-chute/" target="_blank">#SousLOrageNoirLAstreEtLaChute</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/wynter-arvn/" target="_blank">#WÿntërÄrvń</a></p>
