ECHOES OF PRESS

"What a long silence since superb Noctes Insomnes! Arrive finally In Tenebris. The album aligns nine titles and a clip. Fresh news of the group énigmatique of the French scene.

Combining, as in their practice, inventiveness and meticulousness, Olivier Tarabo and Claude Feeny looked after In Tenebris like a rare pearl. Adorasti, Terribilis, Arcvm…, the compositions plunge us in this indefinable universe which haunts all their albums. Each title, in Latin, attracts his batch of strong images. Epic sequences come to hustle our imaginary with the sound of large the organ, with the steps of the drums, the full peals of bells, the powerful voices of the choruses… _ on a a beach of the album, a a clip ravira the amateur. Turned in the masterly caves of Caumont, the film puts in scene a score of actors, three horses, dancers… Lighting on bottom of eclipse, framings and assemblies of a supreme refinement, it is beautiful art.
Impassioned, the team of Rosa Crvx looked after the least details. The armours of the horses were moulded to measure, the reasons on the croups cut in the hair, the 22 finely worked leather costumes… No accessory has escaped A the rule for this strange procession.

On scene, Rosa Crvx is always an unforgettable spectacle. Dissimulated under very aesthetic contours, the machines are made forget not to disturb the emotions. Thus the amazing BAM (acoustic battery midday) was a new copper dress: drinking cups of orchestra and drums ancient make the essence of its barrels. With his grand piano, Claude added an imposing chime of eight bells (there will be of them soon 16!) Splendid effect. And then, celebrates it Danse of the Earth comes. In a frantic ritual, a naked couple coats clay… comes then the moment to see on giant screen "Omnes Qui Descendvnt" the last film carried out.

Brilliant touch-with-all (type-setters, musicians, plastics technicians, graphic designers, vidéastes…) Rosa Crvx put his mania of the detail at the service of the realization of this CD and a 33t picture which takes again 4 titles of the album. Each small pocket closed by a wax seal is single. Opinion with the collectors."
