Jordan Vauvert Combiner sludge massif et shoegaze atmosphérique ? C'est le pari de YEAR OF NO LIGHT dans Nord, son premier album. C'est un drame humain, d'abord le désir avorté de partir en exil puis le souhait irréalisable d'une évasion exprimé avec une rage désespérée.
Et si ça n'est encore pas assez, cette édition ajoute en deuxième partie la quasi totalité de ce que le groupe a créé avant Nord, lui donnant une durée totale de deux heures.
Alors asseyez-vous à la place du mort et laissez-vous conduire... Favorite track: Traversée.

Anders Kvistr This is obviously so very different than what begun with Ausserwelt, yet still in this record, in melodies, riffs and overall atmosphere, you can clearly hear that they carried over many aspects and elements of it into the post rock era. Their music is transcendent. Favorite track: Traversée.
Lethal Mogwai

Lethal Mogwai holy gold plated balls. this is .....just this brilliant mixture of beauty and chaos. All wrapped up into a sonic assault on the soul. I would pay a body part to stand between the drums, the amps and the microphone. Favorite track: L'Angoisse Du Veilleur De Nuit D'Autoroute Les Soirs D'Alarme À Accident.

about

To celebrate our tenth birthday, here's the reissue of our first album "Nord", initially released in 2006 on Radar Swarm/Crucial Blast with a bonus CD compiling rare tracks from split records (with ROSETTA and KARYSUN among others), some covers (JOY DIVISION and THE CURE) and old remastered songs from our demo. This reissue really worths to collect all tracks from our first line-up (before our instrumental era begun with "Ausserwelt") with agressive songs and screaming vocals. Six years after its first release, this record is still actual with its post-metal style mixed with a lot of other tunes (sludge, drone, black-metal, etc).

The psychedelics just kicked in nearly 10 years ago and the smoke is still here. Welcome to an atrocity exhibition where the past stands crucified to the altar of egotism and failed acts! Since its inception, YONL, weird orbital entity, has been cursed by doubts and addictions before knowing joy, implosion and rebirth. After all, music is all about emotion no? Then, dear audience, you hold into your hands the complete recordings (ranging from 2004 to 2008) of YONL's first incarnation, featuring «Nord» of course, but also the 2004 demo and several splits, covers, collaborations and remixes. Thank you.


Thanks to all label involved and extra special thanks to Nicolas / Music Fear Satan for his everlasting support !
