Verlies Releasing "Le Domaine Des Hommes" Album Through Hypnotic Dirge

Verlies’s debut album “Le Domaine des Hommes” will be released on May 21st, 2015 in a digipack CD and digitally through Hypnotic Dirge Records and Throats Productions. Hypnotic Dirge comments:

"Based out of the French city Lille, Verlies is an avant-garde black metal band playing dark, strange, and experimental music. Without restrictions of conventional song structure, Verlies is all about creating dark and claustrophobic music with a strong emphasis on atmosphere. Ranging from piercing and uncompromising black metal, to experimental jazz melodies, to post-rock sensibilities, and everything in between, the music is raw, bold, and truly exceptional.

"Songs change pace and vibe frequently through their lengthy playing time, using many different techniques and methods to tell their story. Vocally, founding member N. mixes ferocious and tortured screams with enchanting and morose clean vocals that truly draw you in providing some uplifting moments alongside the raw hatred and despondency.

"Verlies’ debut album 'Le Domaine des Hommes' is full of surprises but remains raw and never leaves the black metal vibe too far behind, instead using it as a base for their other sounds to draw from. Many bands these days try their hand at an unconventional approach to the Black Metal sound but only a few can pull it off genuinely and Verlies is one of those bands. Too often, the term 'black metal art' is thrown out haphazardly, but we humbly believe that it fits in this case!

"Headed by founding member N., the project of Verlies started as a one-man project, but now has a full live lineup to spread their unconventional hatred throughout Northern France. The debut album 'Le Domaine des Hommes' was previously released digitally through Bandcamp, but now the album will get an official release in a noble and carefully designed 4 panel digipack, including a 12 page booklet and a bonus sticker while supplies last. The first cooperative release by Hypnotic Dirge Records and Throats Productions!"
