Ce second album reconduit pour partie une recette analogue, avec toutefois une \u00e9volution quant au son global, plus sec et plus vivant, moins compact. NARAKA s\u2019inscrivait dans une veine qui conduisait \u00e0 investir en permanence l\u2019ensemble du spectre sonore disponible. Le recul aidant, NARAKA se pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 la fois dans la continuit\u00e9 de son album initial et dans une volont\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9volution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Du premier album, nous retrouvons ces rythmiques ac\u00e9r\u00e9es, prodigu\u00e9es au gr\u00e9 d\u2019un mouvement probant d\u2019acc\u00e9l\u00e9rations et de d\u00e9c\u00e9l\u00e9rations. De surcro\u00eet, le ma\u00eetre d\u2019\u0153uvre Jean-Philippe PORTEUX reconduit les arrangements symphoniques de l\u2019album pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour autant, on rel\u00e8ve une production davantage ax\u00e9e sur un rendu plus organique que pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment, aussi bien au niveau vocal qu\u2019instrumental. Histoire de se concentrer sur la base, \u00e0 savoir les riffs, le rendu s\u2019av\u00e8re plus sec, plus vibrant, plus brut. Le niveau de f\u00e9rocit\u00e9 demeure identique, quoiqu\u2019empruntant des chemins plus vari\u00e9s. Cette volont\u00e9 de varier les expressions contamine le registre vocal, moins typiquement Death Metal, \u00e9voquant par moments les prestations les plus intenses de Jaz COLEMAN au sein de KILLING JOKE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D\u2019une mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, NARAKA laisse davantage respirer son r\u00e9pertoire, d\u00e9laissant en f\u00e9rocit\u00e9 ce qu\u2019il gagne en dynamique, \u00e9chappant avec talent aux pi\u00e8ges multiples du Metal moderne (occupation permanente du spectre sonore, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 saturation). Une composition incarne le double souci d\u2019efficacit\u00e9 et l\u2019imp\u00e9ratif m\u00e9lodique&nbsp;: \u00ab&nbsp;The Reign In Red&nbsp;\u00bb. Le titre creuse une veine relativement claire, conjuguant piano, chant clair, ch\u0153urs obs\u00e9dants, chant guttural, choeurs et rythmiques tranchantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avec un tel dispositif, NARAKA se sort du pi\u00e8ge de la redite et se positionne sur un rail \u00e9volutif on ne peut plus persuasif en mati\u00e8re de brutalit\u00e9 raisonn\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Alain Lavanne<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Date de sortie:<\/strong> 24\/10\/2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Label: <\/strong>Art Gates records<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Style:<\/strong> Metal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> 18\/20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ecoutez <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M80-e1xeGBY&quot; target\">ici<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le premier opus de NARAKA nous avait convaincu, avec son Metal moderne m\u00e2tin\u00e9 de Death Metal symphonique (ici).
