MONARQUE - Messe Noire CD

"Light Of A Dead Star", their first album, originally released in 2002, is a landmark of early 2000s French black metal and stands as one of the purest expressions of cold, traditional black metal: raw yet atmospheric, minimalistic yet deeply immersive. Across its austere riffs, relentless drumming, and distant, spectral vocals, the album builds a bleak and nocturnal universe that echoes the spirit of the Scandinavian pioneers while shaping its own distinct, solitary aura.This reissue brings back an uncompromising work of darkness—an album whose chilling melodies, occult undertones, and relentless devotion to the genre have earned it a lasting cult status. A must-have for collectors and for anyone drawn to the colder, more ritualistic side of black metal.

Available in a limited edition six-panel Digipak Cd.

"Shadows From The Past...", their second album, originally released in 2003, returns to haunt the underground. A brutal yet atmospheric black metal offering: biting riffs, raw production, and sparse melodies take you into a cold and impious realm. From furious blasts to slow, meditative passages, this second work delivers the pure essence of Black Metal. Essential for fans of dark, uncompromising music.

Available in a limited six-panel Digipak Cd edition with 8-page booklet.

"Requiem Tenebrae", their third album, originally released in 2004, represents a descent into cosmic desolation and marks the darkest and most atmospheric chapter of their discography, weaving distant, glacial melodies with an overwhelming sense of isolation. Each track unfolds like a litany carved in starlit voids, cold harmonies, ritualistic tremolo lines, and a suffocating black aura.

Available in a limited six-panel Digipak Cd edition.
