For the past two decades or so, France has come to establish itself as a prominent and prolific player in both black and death metal. Formed in 1993-1994, the ambient black metal formation Blut Aus Nord has had an undoubtedly big say in this. Having released new material almost every single year, it has now been three years since their latest full-length album, apart from an intermediate split EP. "Deus Salutis Meæ", is slated for an October 27th release.
