Agape by Lantlôs
The overcoming of Post Black Metal
"Agape" - a non-physical, self-sacrificing kind of love - is the basic concept of Lantlôs' third album. While its predecessor ".neon", the second album by Herbst's main band which introduced Neige (Alcest) as Lantlôs' vocalist, is considered a paragon of Post Black Metal, the duo goes a radical step beyond on "Agape." Heavy walls of guitars alternate with gentle acoustic parts, the changes in tempo hover between dragging and pacing. In addition, the album will surprise you with extensive instrumental passages with a soft and warm atmosphere which doesn't shrink back even from jazz. "Agape" isn't just another Post Black Metal album; "Agape" is the overcoming of Post Black Metal.

Lantlôs are a musical chameleon. As one of the very first Post-Black Metal bands and co-founders of the scene, their premier releases clearly belong to that genre. With their second offering ".neon" (2010) – the first with Neige from Alcest as vocalist and band regular –, Lantlôs even released a central album of Post Black Metal, considered by many to be a work of reference for that style.
