Northwinds
Northwinds is one of the very few true doom bands from France,
having been formed way back in 1987
even though they didn't get around to recording an album until
1998.
That album,
Great God Pan, is a fine, Sabbath-inspired doom metal album
with keyboards applying an occasional
psychedelic edge to the proceedings.
Black Sabbath's "A National Acrobat" is an interesting choice for
a cover, and the bands use of flutes and "celtic instruments"
(a bagpipe-like sound in one instance) lends a distinctive touch to
the band.
Since then they've gone on to record four more albums, most recently
releasing
Winter in 2015.
