The blackened hardcore of Lyon, France's Celeste has the feel of a beraved, hold-nothing-back confessional, whether or not you can read French. What separates them from sludgier, blacker-leaning contemporaries is the fusion of Antaeus' carnivore visors and Amesoeurs' focus on the personal. On November 22, Denovali releases Animale(s), a record split into two parts; "D'errances en inimitiés" leads off the second half, and it's as warlike against the idea of self as anything from 2010's Morte(s) Nee(s). Hopefully, their status as one of the most under-recognized hardcore/metal hybrids will soon come to an end.
