A great collection of black metal songs with a very unique production style. Love the fact that the wind blows throughout the entire album to give off the atmosphere of recording in a snowstorm.

Errant sous un ciel noir de glace
Traversant forêts et crevasses
Voyant la tempête lui faire face
Effaçant chacune de ses traces
Ailleurs au fond des cavernes
Des ombres affamées hibernent
Une soif sordide les malmène
Et son emprise les gouverne
Perdu et maintenant sans repères
Envahi d’une sombre misère
L’envie de maudire cet hiver
Les échos propagent sa colère
Quittant l’abri de murs ternes
Poussées par leurs pulsions malsaines
Elles devinent sous une lune pleine
Une silhouette et sa pâle lanterne
Qui trace son propre piège
D’une démarche lancinante
Des pas dans la neige
À travers la tourmente
Neige tombée
Terre ruinée
Espoir brisé
Rôdant au pied de la terreur
Dévasté par l’immense douleur
Gonflant l’ampleur de la tumeur
Chaque flocon lui nourrissant la peur
Étourdi
Engourdi
Enseveli
La poursuite d’une lourde présence
L’amenant tout droit vers la potence
Froide âme le plongeant d’une transe
Abreuvant l’ardeur de leur démence
Forgée dans les profonds abîmes
Leur rage s’élève au-dessus des cimes
La force du blizzard les anime
Déchaîne une fureur sublime
Étourdi
Engourdi
Enseveli
Son coeur battant le tambour
Craquant la rivière gelée
Et de son souffle éraillé
Assourdissant l’aube du jour
Sinistre paysage désolé
Portrait d’un esprit déraillé
Apercevant le reflet des ombres
Sous le couvert de la poudrerie
En proie à de grotesques diableries
Teintées d’une aura de malveillance
Claustré par leur omniprésence
Piégé à la surface de sa tombe
Vent glacial qui transperce la chair
Chaque bourrasque lacérant sa peau
Qui s’effrite et s’envole en lambeaux
Des flocons dans une danse céleste
Remplissant le sablier funeste
Apogée d’un affligeant calvaire
Les cieux s’ouvrent et crachent leur poison
Ultimes rafales chantant l’oraison
Ignobles spectres ornant la saison
De son sang glacé, la neige s’imprègne
Un dernier frisson avant qu’il s’éteigne
Et finisse éclot, parmi leur règne
about
"Releasing an album in the dead of winter and naming your band after one of the winter months are two small ways to give listeners an inkling of what to expect, but Janvier doesn’t stop with just titles and imagery. Indeed, their four track debut embodies the whipping winds and cold, snow-clad landscapes of the northern winters."
– The Metal Observer
"Initially, from opener ‘Des Pas Dans La Neige’, we get bitterly cold, biting winter black metal. Winds howl, snow crunches and a harsh, ponderous riff crawls through the bleak night. There is a deep Burzum feel here from the tempo to the sharp buzzing riffs, but also maybe a good streak of Darkthrone in the rawness and the attitude and the excellent vocals and a little early Forteresse in the atmosphere. It’s good, doomy stuff, with a good vision and its own personality crawling in the darkness. The remainder of the EP is split into three parts of ‘A Travers La Tourmente’. It’s only really in the third part where the tempo picks up, really, flinging a wild and thrashy edge into the mid, underlying the rawness in Janvier."
– Ave Noctum
"Janvier deserve to start being mentioned with the likes of Forteresse, Mort aux Gueux, Some Happy Thoughts, and Délétère. Métal Noir Québécois is a genre of black metal set apart from the others, a force of nature in its own right. Janvier delivers some heavy, deathly cold blows of its own that only strengthen the genre."
– Resounding Footsteps
"This self-titled album is a suitably wintry and bleak introduction to a new band named after one of the coldest months in the Canadian year. Let's hope the future for Janvier the band is as bright as the album is deathly cold and shivery in atmosphere and gloomy in outlook and presentation. The opening track especially sets the scene with a glacial, depressed pace and downbeat mood, swirling winds in the background and monotonously grinding guitar drones and hardened riffs. The guitar sounds seem extra-grim and unyielding and the drumming is drained of all life. Proceedings perk up a bit in succeeding tracks with a hard crabby vocal that might have been spawned out of those frosty blowing winds but the deep melancholy persists."
– NausikaDalazBlindaz, The Metal Archives
I don't know about others, but I personally feel melancholic rather than depressed. The atmosphere is so thick that you can cut it with a knife, and after listening to this album (twice in a row), I can safely say that it will not end with two listens Kurt Von Jazzenhoff
Dans Paysages Polaires, Cantique Lépreux reste fidèle à leur style à quelques exceptions près, à savoir un black metal atmosphérique glacial dont la vitesse est assez intense. En fait, cet album sert à polir, sublimer leur style. La production baisse un peu le volume de la guitare, met plus en avant le chant et la batterie — et elle est géniale : écoutez "Les étoiles endeuillées" et "Hélas...". La saga poétique des "Paysages Polaires" permet de voir le groupe sous un jour plus émotif. Puissant ! Jordan Vauvert
The debut album from the intriguing artist that is Moulderyawn. This is black metal in it's purest form, with truly beautiful dungeon synth added in. A truly unique band and a very great debut. All of these tracks are just phenomenal. Visual Complexity
