Singiel TOUR D'IVOIRE

 

Today, French black metallers Tour d'Ivoire premiere the new track "Forteresse de Marbre" at the Atmospheric Black Metal Albums YouTube channel. The track is the first to be fully revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, self-titled Tour d'Ivoire, set for international release on September 6th internationally via Antiq. Hear Tour d'Ivoire's "Forteresse de Marbre" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Tour d'Ivoire is an atmospheric black metal project created by Hyver (Véhémence, Grylle, Hanternoz) and La Griesche (Grylle, Cercle du Chêne) in early 2023. The atmosphere of this first eponymous album is thick and mysterious as a twilight fog: extreme vocals emerging from hypnotical riffs, synthesizer melody, and spectral choirs. The French lyrics treat, with a fatalistic view, the contemplation of landscapes and architectures out of mystical dreams, as depicted by Sperber Illustrationen for the album's cover art.

Antiq is a label dedicated to the fully coherent concept of making music through sound, image, video, and attitude. They have been putting their entire existence into it since 2009. Over the years, Antiq have been identified as producers of not only perfectly coherent lyrics and themes through music, but also conceptual art and, of course, the manufacturing of beautiful objects. The label tries as much as it can to work with French creators, and if possible, with the smallest and most serious structures.
