Archvile King - A la ruine (Digipak CD)

Created in late 2019, ARCHVILE KING is the solo project of Nicolas "Baurus" M., multi-instrumentalist artist based in Nantes. His first EP, Vile, paints a colorful picture of awful characters, in a style most reminicent of old-school thrash, with slight hints of black metal, heavily influenced by bands such as BATHORY or early SEPULTURA. This time, diametrically opposed to Vile, the thrash aspect of À la ruine becomes more timid as sounds of black metal are conjured onto its tracks, giving the entire album a somber yet savage attitude.
