Avignon, France (2000 – present)
Peste Noire is a medieval black metal band from Avignon, France, formed by La sale Famine de Valfunde in 2000. Famine has been the main member and creative force behind this band since its inception, and, to date, all songs (lyrics, music and solos) were written by Famine except for “La Césarienne“‘s music (on “Folkfuck Folie”) written by ex-member Neige, as well as some interludes on “Ballade cuntre lo Anemi francor” written by Audrey Sylvain.
Peste Noire has always rejected the exposure of their music on the internet. There has never been any official PN website, nor any official PN myspace page. Some “fan pages” currently exist (/pestenoire, /pestenoiremetal etc.) but they are in no way official as they go against Famine’s vision of BM.
BAND HISTORY:
Peste Noire was born in the mind of one La sale Famine de Valfunde who wrote all songs (except one), solos, lyrics, concepts for Peste Noire since its creation. The other members aren’t/have never been involved in the song-writing process but are/were always used as session musicians (Neige included) playing the music written by Famine. Famine is therefore very reluctant to see people associating Peste Noire with Neige and his multiple bands or side-projects (Alcest…). In a 2006 interview for the English magazine Zero Tolerance (n°14) after he had just formed a whole line-up fit for concerts, Famine stated : « The only things I will never share are the concept and the surrounding universe (musical, aesthetic and textual), which have grown and matured in my brain only ».

Clearly, the real most shocking thing is that we got two number twelves on the top fifteen list. Someone has to answer for this.

Actually, the most shocking thing is the lack of "Soleils Couchants" in this top five.

L'ordure à l'état pur is basically perfect all-around. And finally they moved out of the "raw" sound with this one. With all this sarcasm and cultural references, the clear sound somehow fits much better.

@NihilisticRust: The pic you uploaded came from there http://www.lamesnieherlequin.com/2012/01/retour-de-guerre-about-the-last-orders/ and Famine clearly says that it's not him on the picture but some half-arab he knows.
