Terragon are a solo project from France that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2022 album "Chapitre II: Baudelaire".
Choirs and keyboards start off the album along with a brief use of spoken word parts before introducing grim black metal screams and programmed drum beats onto the recording. The recording also has its avant garde and orchestral moments while also adding in some touches of classical music and melodies are also added some of the heavier riffing.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the songs also capturing a poetic atmosphere as well as a couple of tracks also introducing clean playing and acoustic guitars onto the recording and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a r aw feeling.

Terragon plays a musical style that takes orchestral music and mixes it with atmospheric black metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics are written in French and cover the poetry of Charles Baudelaire.
In my opinion Terragon are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Un Fantôme ( les ténèbres.. Le parfum.. Le cadre.. le Portrait...)" "Dance Macabre" "Les Litanies de Satan" and "Moestra et errabunda". 8 out of 10.
