German melancholic doom/death band Décembre Noir who will release their third album entitled Autumn Kings on 9th November through Lifeforce Records, have unveiled a new single and video "Barricades" and you can hear it in the player below.
Just like any other song on Décembre Noir's upcoming album, also "Barricades" is deeply melancholic and melodic. The eight tracks of the third album of the German band from Thuringia convey profound emotionality and holistic heaviness. As far as the impressions are concerned, the songs stands out to be much darker and depressing than it seems in the beginning.
Décembre Noir have introduced their melancholic-melodic mix of death and doom metal on the two albums for F.D.A. Rekotz - A Discouraged Believer and Forsaken Earth. With Autumn Kings, the band is further evolving its distinctive sound. The quintet is interested in subtly growing tension arcs and atmospheric shifts. Feelings of powerlessness or sudden fright are each integrated into a pleasing sounding context. Nevertheless, the songs doesn't lack hardness or complexity. The playing of Décembre Noir, however, should not be fathomed out too much. Listeners should simply let it have its effect on them - without expectations. If they do so, the positive surprise is all the greater. Recommended to fans of October Tide, Katatonia, Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride. Link
