France has long been a hotbed for black metal, and Déluge is one of its hidden gems. Since 2014, they've been crafting a unique blend of black metal and post - hardcore. Their 2015 debut full - length 'Æther' set the stage, and in 2020, they came back with 'Ægo Templo'. As founding guitarist François - Thibaut Hordé said, they aimed for a more accessible sound without losing their signature melancholia and musical essence, and they've succeeded with this new record. The vinyl is a real treat. Side A features tracks like 'Soufre', 'Opprobre', and 'Abysses'. Side B has 'Fratres', 'Gloire Au Silence', and 'Ægo Templo'. Side C includes 'Baïne' and 'Digue', while Side D offers 'Béryl' and 'Vers'. It comes with several great features: a stunning gold vinyl, a gatefold jacket, a two - sided folded poster (about 24 inches by 24 inches), a digital download card, and it's a limited - edition European import. Metal Blade Records Item #157366. Code: Deluge - Templo - 2020.

Using your Déluge Ægo Templo gold vinyl is simple. Just place it on a record player and use the tonearm to drop the needle gently on the start of the track you want to listen to. Make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or scratches on the playing surface. After each use, return the vinyl to its gatefold jacket to protect it from dust and damage. Keep the poster and digital download card in a safe place. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a record cleaning brush to gently remove it before playing.
