The project of sole member Hazard (all instruments and vocals), France's Les Chants du Hasard is a fitting addition to the ever-growing roster of talents from I, Voidhanger Records.
The band's eponymous debut is an experimental work featuring a mix of classical music and black metal without any guitar, bass or drums – only
orchestral instruments. The result is a shocking and fascinating lecture of 1800's orchestral music as seen through the deforming lens of extreme metal; an original hybrid that marries the abrasive, aggressive vocals
ypical of black metal with the majestic and dramatic aura of classical music, caught in its darkest expressions.
