1- Cantique Lépreux  - Le bannissement

There were low expectations for this record following the unremarkable Sectes mini-album from 2021, but if it was necessary as a stepping stone to produce this album then I can accept it.  If there is any defining majestic, sophisticated black metal album from 2024, this is it for me.  Everything I like about black metal and dislike about it (thrash, rock, heavy metal) at the bare minimum.  This is black metal art, in short, the best black metal of the year.
