Ok, The Dark Gods. Two tracks, one being "The Dark Gods pt. I", the other being "The Dark Gods pt. II". A total length of just under forty minutes. That sounds like Black metal to me!
And Black metal it is. Raw, thin and lo-fi Black metal, a sped up Xasthur with less passive hate and more active 'imma-slice-yo-throat' hate. While they don't sound as 'out there' and spacey as I initially expected, they are certainly worth your time. "Act I" features plenty of drum and riffwork, coupled with raging fast sections too. It's a shame the vocalwork is a little standard, consisting of both Abbath-esque raps and higher pitched shrieks. There's a strong Norwegian Black metal undercurrent running through this album, think in the direction of 1349, Taake etc. with synths. But rawer and more focused on the lo-fi ideals. Plus, Foudre Noire knows how to take a break every once in a while, judging by the relaxing, spacey interludes they throw in.
In conclusion, The Dark Gods is an interesting album, delivering well-executed Black metal with a slightly cosmic vibe, without putting lyrical focus on me. Ah well, can't have everything, I suppose.

Was listening to it just now. The spacey moments were the highlights for me. They really could do with a bit more of those
