Very few bands have survived such a duration and Outre-Tombe, whom previously rested alongside other predecessors from North America, has now decidedly outlived the majority. The elements are traditional and youthful -- but in the end their black metal is singular and theirs alone. Six concise refined tracks where the evil spirit of displaced youth returns to haunt and rattle inside the skeletons of the modern world.
On the way towards celebrating 25 years of existence, Akitsa remains as defiantly lo-fi and raw in sound, aggressive in outlook and bleak in its themes as the band did when it first began back in 1999. There have been changes in the band's sound and style over the years, embracing noise, punk and industrial influences and experimenting with noise ambient at times, and original Akitsa member Outre-Tombe's ability to hit the highest of high notes in his singing may now be a thing of the past – but the band's bleak pessimism and peevish misanthropy are as strong and biting as ever on new album "Devenir le diable" ("Becoming the Devil").
