Hilde (France) — Forteresse — 2021 full length

The first album of this solo French project of Guillaume. The record dwells with loneliness for it was conceived during lockdown. Even being solo it has several contributions from fellow artists for multiple instruments and vocals. Mostly working into the atmospheric range of black metal and harmonious in its core, you experience the epitome of songwriting and a great multitude of sound textures since there are a nice variety of instruments, viola, acoustic guitar and accordion. Incredible album not only seen through black metal lenses but also as a music piece.
