À La Ruine by ARCHVILE KING
Created in late 2019, Archvile King is the solo project of Nicolas "Baurus" M., multi-instrumentalist artist based in Nantes. His first EP, Vile, paints a colorful picture of awful characters, in a style most reminicent of old-school Thrash, with slight hints of Black Metal, heavily influenced by bands such as Bathory or early Sepultura. In 2022, his first full-length album À la ruine comes out in collaboration with Les Acteurs de l'Ombre productions. This time, diametrically opposed to Vile, the Thrash aspect of À la ruine becomes more timid as sounds of Black Metal are conjured onto its tracks, giving the entire album a somber yet savage attitude.
