Audoynaud are a duo from France that plays a mixture of dark folk, drone, doom metal and electro-acoustic and this is a review of their 2025 album "Hyberboreen" which was released by Eaux Sombres.
Avant garde soundscapes start off the album before adding in some stringed and folk music instruments a few seconds later. Vocals are done in more of a clean style while the recording also adds in a great amount of drones along with some whispers also being utilized briefly and acoustic guitars are also added on some of the songs.
Organic sounds are also a very huge part of the album while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. At times the more distorted side of the music and electric guitars also adding in a touch of doom metal along with each track also taking the recording into a different direction as well as keeping true to a dark folk style, spoken words are also added on the closing song.
Audoynaud plays a musical style that takes dark folk, drone, doom metal and electro-acoustic and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover poetic themes.
In my opinion Audoynaud are a very great sounding mixture of dark folk, drone, doom metal and electro-acoustic and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lisiere" and "Granite". 8 out of 10.
