Another Album that spread its songs across some playlists of mine, but I actually never bought the album.
And than I wonder why... I look them up... I realize the album is already sitting in my wishlist and simply got forgotten under all the other stuff which is piling up there.
I feel a bit ashamed because Obsidian Arc is on of those album that just seem "complete" with the right amount variety... it is taking me back to the habbit of listening an album as a whole, not as its fragment.

Dans Paysages Polaires, Cantique Lépreux reste fidèle à leur style à quelques exceptions près, à savoir un black metal atmosphérique glacial dont la vitesse est assez intense. En fait, cet album sert à polir, sublimer leur style. La production baisse un peu le volume de la guitare, met plus en avant le chant et la batterie — et elle est géniale : écoutez "Les étoiles endeuillées" et "Hélas...". La saga poétique des "Paysages Polaires" permet de voir le groupe sous un jour plus émotif. Puissant ! Jordan Vauvert
Very late to the party, but for several years I've found melodic black metal all too similar and all albums sounding like Dissection, etc... HOWEVER, not only I am back into it but UADA is still a layer of complexity above the main baseline and this is an old album worth having, that's a basic milestone in UADA's discography and I felt it needed to be part of my BC collection. sachavonkarl74
