DIABLATION - Allégeance CD

Diablation is the latest band featuring Arkames, along with V.Orias.A from Ad Inferna. Arkames is mostly known for being the first singer for Seth before joining forces with Orias, forming Ad Inferna for one metal album before switching for dark electro. VNA behind the drums is a newcomer, but I think Hyde, the bassist is the same guy from Ad Inferna. Diablation sound is old school symphonic black metal with keys, quite similar to Ad Inferna, but I would say darker.

This album is about Satanism and rituals, without the name Satan being dropped even once. The devil and Lucifer are referenced quite a lot throughout the album. If one is familiar with Arkames’ lyrics, his style is easily recognizable here with well written, occult and, I think, quite personal lyrics, all in French.
