Last month, French black metal enigmas\u00a0GLORIOR BELLI\u00a0<\/strong>made their first ever North American appearance at Montreal\u2019s Messe des Morts festival. The ceremony took place at Coop Katacombes on November 25 and 26 and included live rituals from some of black metal\u2019s most esteemed creators.<\/p>\n

Commented vocalist\/guitarist Julien of the experience: \u201cThanks to [fest organizer] Martin [Marcotte; Sepulchral Productions] and the rest of the crew, we had the chance to play in front of an enthusiastic audience in Montr\u00e9al for the first edition of Messe des Morts festival and share the stage with great local acts as well as international bands such as Absu, Inquisition and Angantyr. It sure does feel different than in Europe, for there is a definite hunger for our art and it\u2019s an actual pleasure to bring the fire that we craft in good old Europe to the new continent and share it with the few, the extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

GLORIOR BELLI<\/strong>\u00a0released their fourth full-length,\u00a0The Great Southern Darkness,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>earlier this Fall via Metal Blade Records which continues to reap critical adoration from fans and critics alike. Praised Decibel Magazine in an 8\/10 review: \u201cGB\u2019s most excellent reputation of delivering mid-tempo, riff-tastic, evil-as-fuck metal has thankfully not been compromised on this fantastic and perfectly produced new disc.\u201d About.com gave the record a 4\/5 rating saying: \u201cThe sound often parts, battles, becomes noise and then reunites, displaying a very sophisticated technique.\u00a0The Great Southern Darkness<\/em>\u00a0is the fourth good album from a consistent and exciting band. It\u2019s composed with both intelligence and guts, and comes highly recommended,\u201d while Metal Underground gave the record a perfect 5\/5 score noting: \u201cAmazing mashup of southern blues and cold black metal.\u201d Ultimate-Guitar.com opined: \u201c\u2026GLORIOR BELLI\u00a0<\/strong>takes black metal to a new height on their new record with amazing riffs and a vast array of influences,\u201d while MTVIggy.com added: \u201c\u2026great stuff that calls to mind the devilish side of the blues \u2014 you know, Robert Johnson at the crossroads and all that. Early factions in black metal may have tried to excise blues elements from their sound, a fact that makes\u00a0The Great Southern Darkness<\/em>\u00a0feel like a long awaited reunion.\u201d<\/p>\n
