Puissance is a Swedish neoclassical martial act, formed in 1993. The band is made up of members Henry Möller {also of Arditi) and Frederik Söderlund.

Due to their aesthetic approach and member associations, Puissance are often associated with black metal. However, they do not make any use of guitars and rely on electronic instrumentation such as synthesizers and samplers, resulting in an approach heavily influenced by industrial music, but the music is described as heavy neoclassical ambient marches. The recurring theme among most of the song lyrics is extreme misanthropy and nihilism. Nuclear holocaust is also a commonly explored theme. While influenced by fascism and totalitarian dictatorship, they are not fascists themselves; they merely employ these themes as a way to oppress their listeners.

Mother of Disease surely is awesome. But I like Totalitarian Hearts better though.

"Most of their lyrics are childish and pure cheese on their own (some are amazing though), however, Puissance just make them work." -- "Mother of Disease" track has awesome lyrics

yeah, lyrics tend to be too simple sometimes ("we are puissance, we are in complete control"??), but who cares, when instrumentals are so great.
