With the release of its 2010 MLP, ?La Vierge Noire,? Canada?s Cauchemar immediately garnered the praise of the
underground with its five tracks of fine traditional doom interspersed with passages of driving heavy metal.
Guitarist Fran?ois Patry?s riffs and songwriting anchored by Patrick Pageau?s fastidious percussion and Annick
Giroux?s haunting vocals immediately stood out as being both authentic and unique amid the emerging and increasingly
crowded sub-genre of female-fronted doom bands. Despite many fans? desire for new material following the release of
the MLP, Cauchemar members Patry and Giroux chose to explore and absorb rather than record and transmit. Their one-
and-a-half-year peregrination carried them to South America, Asia, and Europe. As part of their travels, Patry and
Giroux re-assembled Cauchemar and toured extensively in Europe and also played shows in Chile, Peru, Colombia, and
India all while continuing to write new material for their debut LP inspired and informed by their sojourns. Upon
returning to Canada, Cauchemar, now a four-piece featuring Andres Arango on bass, began recording its first full-
length. Entitled ?Tenebrario,? the album is steeped in mysterious atmosphere and finds the band delivering more of
the solid songwriting featured on the MLP while also expanding in complexity and range. Striving for an aesthetically
comprehensive presentation, Cauchemar enlisted Paolo Girardi to provide the cover art, which is among the best of his
pieces to be featured on an album cover. The three-year silence preceding this release only enhanced the band?s
approach and the resulting work speaks for itself.
