Cauchemar - Chapelle Ardente

Review by Lisa Fisher

Chapelle Ardente is the third album released by the Canadian doom metal band Cauchemar. The album is a haunting and immersive journey into the depths of darkness, with the band exploring themes of death, grief, and the supernatural.

The album opens with "La Vierge Noire," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its eerie guitar riffs and haunting vocals. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a series of tracks that are both atmospheric and heavy, with the band creating a sense of tension and unease that never lets up.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Funérailles Solennelles," which features some of the most powerful and emotive vocals on the album. The track is a slow-burning epic that builds to a powerful crescendo, with the band showcasing their impressive musicianship throughout.
