Slogan: AEPHANEMER artfully blends brutally fast symphonic death and raw melodic metal into a multi-faceted epic!

Based in Toulouse (south of France) this band was founded 10 years ago. The symphonic death metallists have produced 3 full albums by now. While on tour in their home country and the rest of Europe, we were able to catch them on their stop at The Black Lab in Wasquehal (FR). It was Aephanemer’s first time in the most northern region of France (Nord-Pas-De-Calais). The growling of vocalist Marion Bacoul is well received by the attendees, which shows off in what she is grateful for: witnessing their first circle pit ever! Or is it? Since Aephanemer is one of Europe’s most promising up-and-coming melodic death metal bands of the moment, it is rather hard to believe they never got a circle pit before, but we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

After the show, their success is once again proven by the huge queue at the merch. The entire band is there to meet and greet the fans, take pictures and to sign whatever they bought. Far fewer people to notice at the Sorcières stand. Unjustified, because this black/folk metal band, incidentally from this region, had also put down a very strong show as the supporting act.
