Gargoylium - Chroniques De La Citadelle

Review by Kay Street

Chroniques De La Citadelle is the latest album from Gargoylium, a French black metal band. The album consists of nine tracks, each of which tells a story of a different character in a dark and twisted world. The band's sound is heavily influenced by classic black metal, but they also incorporate elements of folk and atmospheric music to create a unique and haunting sound.

The album opens with "La Citadelle", a haunting instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through the twisted world of the citadel, with each track telling a different story. The standout tracks include "Le Roi Déchu", a powerful and epic track that tells the story of a fallen king, and "Les Enfants de la Nuit", a haunting and atmospheric track that tells the story of a group of children who are forced to live in the shadows.
