If you’re ready for an auditory assault that feels like getting caught in a storm of sound and fury, *Infestis* by Igorrr is your next obsession. This isn’t your average black metal romp—this is an eclectic exploration of possession through music, complete with Tibetan instruments and the kind of distortion that makes your speakers question their life choices. And let me tell you, it’s gloriously relentless. The video slams you right into a dark, atmospheric realm, not screaming “look at me,” but more like dragging you into its depths with every blast beat and haunting vocal.
Speaking of vocals, Marthe Alexandre and JB Le Bail serve up performances that dupe you into believing their voice boxes might combust right about… now. The lyricism isn’t just a backing band to the relentless instrumentation; it’s an invoker of pure, unadulterated emotion. You might feel possessed yourself, wandering through whatever crypt of existential dread this team managed to summon. And oh boy, those choirs? They add a layer of gothic elegance that paints the chaos with an exquisite depth most bands wouldn’t dare.
Now let’s talk guitars. Martyn Clément along with Gautier Serre deliver riffs so heavy, they probably broke a few laws of physics in the process. It’s not just the weight of the riffs—it’s their intricacy. The additional contributions from Gautier suggest a mind that wanders freely through genres, tying together doom, death, and thrash in a way you’ve got to hear to believe. And yeah, that bass by Mike Leon? It isn’t a mere afterthought. It grounds the madness just enough to keep your eardrums intact—even if your brain’s still reeling.
The video itself, directed by Dehn Sora, hardly dances around with mainstream tropes—thank all dark gods above and below. It’s a visual extension of that deep, inner sense of being trapped and infested, like Dante taking up residence in your psyche. The imagery pulls you deeper, making even reality feel a bit distant. Honestly, props to the team for creating a visual masterpiece that doesn’t just accompany the music; it heightens it.
In the end, *Infestis* isn’t just an experience—it’s a journey that taps into the raw, unfiltered essence of what metal can be. It’s a wild blend of tradition and innovation that kicks down the door, refusing to politely knock. It’s exactly what Gautier Serre and his platoon of talented co-creators set out to forge: an unapologetic descent into the shadows. If you call yourself a metalhead and haven’t checked this out yet, what are you even doing? Forget sleep, dive into this at 2AM. Yes, you. Still reading? See you on the other side.
