The obscure, transfixing poetry and exquisite gothic pall of VILAINS BONSHOMMES a Rimbaud-inspired duo including members of Canada's CONTREPOISON and AKITSA and Norwegian black metal group MARE. Éternité Retrouvée was first released in 2011 as a cassette on Norway's Fossbrenna Creations. Stripped to the bare essentials of drum machine, analog synth and vocals rendered in acres of sepulchral space, the three-track EP draws listeners into a flawlessly realized sphere of dark influence where minimalist, desiccated harmonies and bony rhythms are embedded against unfathomably bombed out, maximalist backdrops - what most would define as unmistakably gothic.
