Område
A somewhat enigmatic French duo, Område approaches metal from a unique
standpoint, as they incorporate noticeable trip-hop, electronica
and post-ambient elements to their sound.
Two self-professed influences of the band are
Ulver
and
Manes,
and there are similarities from both, particularly the latter as the
vocalist is a dead ringer for Manes' Asgeir Hatlen.
As a spot-on review from Angry Metal Guy put it, Område's music
can be called "metal/non-metal/something-metal".
Traditionalists may be turned off by the electronica elements,
but frankly there are few bands in this arena, and the moodiness
imparted by the darkwave stylings are quite intriguing.
Nåde,
the band's second album released in 2017,
turned out to be a grower, it didn't click immediately but
over time grew to Top Ten status easily.
