Paydretz

Paydretz are a new France-based black metal act featuring key members of Himinbjorg, Grylle, Vehemence, Hanternoz, Skyforger and Cruachan. Based in western France, the multi-national yet French focused outfit will center the lyrical topic on the War in the Vendée, a three-year counterrevolution during the French Revolution. Musically, Paydretz fuse caustic black metal with the harmonies of folk music. In many ways, the music housed in Paydretz’s debut album, Chroniques de l’Insurrection (Antiq), could be heard as a way point between French stalwarts Himinbjorg, Irish lads Cruachan, and Latvian legends Skyforger, but emboldened by French-language narration, harsh black metal motifs, and scene-setting theatrics.
