It’s been almost a fact that traditional Prog—you know, without ultra-brutal vocals or infinite blastbeats—is kind of dead. The world has just turned into a more cynical and godless place. However, there are still acts that have ignored the calling of oblivion. Temic seems to be one of those.

With an album named The Arsonist, you’d expect Wailin Storms to blast this place out of existence. Yet what I found was a strange concoction of Heavy Metal, Gothic Rock, and Blues. I don’t quite know how to label it—it sounds almost rural to my city ears. But this band comes from Season of Mist, and we all know they only sign bands that are marketable… I mean, excellent! So with that in mind, let’s dive into this thing with as much optimism as possible.
I think it would be an understatement to say that right now, or whenever you’re reading this article, France is going through turbulent times. It’s a nation always in crisis, just like Argentina. Why am I talking about non-Metal matters? Well, because Seth’s new album La France des Maudits is thematically the most French album I’ve reviewed in the short history of this site. Also, it’s nice to talk about a French Black Metal band that won’t get me in trouble with half of the internet (you all know what I’m talking about). Great, so is this fresh work, or is it cursed? Stay with me!
