Demande à la Poussière to release new studio album “Quiétude Hostile” on March 26th 2021

With Demande à la Poussière you enter into a Post Apocalyptic universe made by thick, sludgy and groove-laden guitar lines, vicious and intense vocals, obsessive rhythmic section at the limit of paranoia.

Quiétude Hostile” is expected to be one of “the next big things” within the Apocalyptic Doom and Post Black Metal movements, and, without hyperbole, it will be one of the albums you cannot give up.
