Into the album and the cold dark textural ambiences which start off this magnificent album leave you almost haunted within yourself. The studio line-up was previously solely Bornyhake responsible for the Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Programming and Cellos, whereas now a live line-up consists of Bornyhake “aka” Ormenos (Kawir, Enoid, ex-Krigar) on Vocals, XaX (ex-Disaster, ex-Unborned, ex-Sword) Guitar, Lady Kaos (ex-Ipsum) Keys, Ardelean (ex-Krigar, Fosse, Euclidean) Guitar and Quaoar (Astral Silence) Bass giving us plenty of influences and high expectations whilst remaining technically up there with the best of the best. Combining dark textural ambient passages, phrasing and thirteen years of experience with many previous albums the ‘ Royaume des Ombres‘ is set to be a next milestone in Black Metal. Industrial/Black Metal band ‘ Borgne‘ have thrown out all the stops in creating the most powerful yet hypnotic metal Switzerland will possibly ever see.
