David Fischer My 666th bandcamp purchase had to be something special. Ex-Thränenkind/King Apathy (RIP) member Nathanael delivers four acts of blistering black metal with a perfectly precise portion of post. Against Leviathan! most likely won't fundamentally change your understanding of what black metal is - but creating very good songs with simple techniques and elements is extremely hard, and this is where Bonjour Tristesse absolutely succeds. One of my 2023 highlights, most highly recommended! Favorite track: Against Leviathan!.

Jordan Vauvert C'est une série de revirements qui s'effectue dans Against Leviathan!, troisième opus de Bonjour Tristesse. Déjà, Nathanael le compose en solitaire, d'où la batterie programmée (qui donne parfois de belles claques comme sur "Nightbringer"). Ensuite, son approche est plus classique, tout du moins en surface car on est balancé entre rage et défaitisme. Enfin, cet album se construit autour d'un combat entre le Leviathan et le Behemoth — qui est en fait métaphorique. Bref : l'effet de surprise ! Favorite track: Against Leviathan!.

Turmoil 11:08
TURMOIL Permanent living peace is permanent living death. Your hollow existence is nothing but a lie. I despise your peace, your shallow way of life. The swans drown in bilge water. Take down the signs. Test the poisons. Get the nails ready. Flog the backs of the saints. I'm set to destroy your tomorrow. I want to see a world ablaze. My blessing for you shall be scorn and I will piss on your dawn. We are the filth, those who chose darkness over light. Greet death. Breathe strife. Drown the swan and piss on the dawn. Turmoil is our god. Madness is our god.

Nightbringer 07:48
NIGHTBRINGER The end is nigh. No one is innocent. Nightbringer. Naysayer. Grudgebearer. The relentless one. Behold the demon you summoned yourself, the unbound rage of a dying planet. Devil you will call me, cast me out of your society. ...and a monster I shall become. The pariah bringing the war you started home. Your crown of arrogance shall pull you under. You will beg for mercy, while I reap your ingrate souls for good. I am the ghostking of night, judge and jury. The time has come to resign. Run! Flee my fury! I shall become the end of everything you hold dear. Your pathetic lies will end right now and right here.

AGAINST LEVIATHAN! While the shrouded moon tries to enlighten those darkening skies I behold the bright reign of death: a hollow world of nothingness. It is a bitter truth, that i abhor. Accept the fact: Modern life is war. We once kept the fires burning as a signal. When the flames died out, our days turned dismal. Now eternal nighttime thrives, subduing our pathetic lives. Behold the blackest night. The kingdom of death and blight. The flood of oil and blood Swallowing all beauty, washing all hope away! I wont ever drown unseen within the tides of time. I'll pierce through the dismal depths towards the sea serpents lair. I'll pierce the heart of the beast. Against his-story, Against Leviathan. I am your nemesis. Against Leviathan! The breaker of all chains. Against Leviathan! The whaler tracking down the cursed Leviathan! I become Behemoth, crushing Leviathan! I'll raise the fist of the primitivist against all civilized life!

ODE TO EMPTINESS Despise all you ever wished for. Dreams are meant to die. Condemn the pledge, that speaks of things changing for the better. Kill your hopes and free yourself. Accept this miserable life of yours. Follow me into the night. Behold me yielding to futility, The spectre painting the future black. The goddess of might, called hollowness. Within the mists of desolation she stalks breathing the void into our lonesome hearts. She lifts the weight of the world by speaking just a few words. She knows Uncertainty has never been a friend and whispers: “The good life wont be yours again.“ There is no closure. Nothing is ever over. There wont be fulfillment. Not in this life. At least not for me! Surrender your dreams. Flee hope. Embrace darkness and sing this ode to emptiness.
