Prieuré – Jusqu’au bénitier CD

Fantastic second album.

Prieuré unveils its second album, “Jusqu’au bénitier,” which stands as a true ode to medieval imagination. This record is inspired by the journey of Saint Brendan, a Celtic odyssey from the early Middle Ages, and traces the voyage of Irish monks across the ocean. Enriched by the legends of the Brocéliande forest, the album addresses universal themes while also incorporating more personal elements.
Musically, Prieuré continues its exploration of black metal, blending violence and melody. The sound is more thoughtful, with carefully crafted compositions, while still retaining the punk rage that characterizes their early demos. The album includes several instrumental interludes that create an atmosphere that is both bright and dark.
Notable guests contribute to this project, including Torve from Ascète, who delivers a remarkable vocal performance, storyteller Quentin Foureau, who enriches the narration, and Geoffroy from Paydretz, whose bagpipes add a magical touch to conclude the album.
CD version co-release with Purity Through Fire (Ger). Presented in jewel case with 8 page booklet.
