about

SIGNAL REX is proud to present VALAIS' striking self-titled debut album on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. The CD and tape versions shall be released on March 4th while the vinyl version will follow later this year.

One of the most accomplished newcomers SIGNAL REX has come across in recent years, the shadowy entity of VALAIS burst from the voidal womb fully formed in the middle of 2021 with their self-titled debut album. Despite existing in the vast (and vastly inconsistent) wilderness of Bandcamp, Valais in fact imparted a power and poignancy that takes most bands at least a couple records to reach, if at all. Both classically composed and forward-thinking, VALAIS understood right from the start the core tenets of true black metal, but equally understood how to inject their own personality and poise into such to create something that adds to the language of BLACK METAL rather than mimics its speech patterns (and sloppily so).

No, Valais as a work is a towering monument of tension and release, skillful contours and subtle dynamics, richly malevolent melody and slipstreaming violence. Aesthetic touchstones include the likes of Slidhr, latter-day Leviathan, and even Blut Aus Nord at their wiliest, but VALAIS also exhibit an understated sense of the pagan - perhaps stemming from their native Ireland, or perhaps from some strange cosmos far beyond our comprehension... Either way, all of this coalesces into a whilrlwinding five-song/37-minute experience that feels far vaster than that succinct runtime otherwise suggests. As such, SIGNAL REX is honored to rightfully release this tome in all physical formats.

Incredibly nuanced synth-laden atmospheric black metal with just a hint of rawness. Love this album and highly recommended !!! Jody B.

Cosmogonie
by Dysylumn

supported by 64 fans who also own “Valais”

Dysylumn has quickly climbed to the top of my favourite Metal bands. I thought "Occultation" was a genius piece of work but "Cosmogonie"'s sheer brilliance and length is by no means a fair comparison. This is a monument to French BM and to Metal, Un chef d'oeuvre remarquable, pertinent, qui saura resister au temps et aux modes. Deadpanist

Stronghold of Majestic Ruins
by RÜNDGARD

supported by 64 fans who also own “Valais”

Rundagard is legitimately a great example of 90's worship done right. The mix of raw yet listenable recordings, violent vocals and an infusion of synths and preludes make this album a perfect display of why Black Metal is best to be left in the underground! Majestic performance! Gabriel Tamas

Occultation
by Dysylumn

supported by 63 fans who also own “Valais”

This album separates mere foolish wannabes and trendsetters from classics and immortals. It is the pinnacle of finding its unique sound in a proven plethora of genres and recipes. A dose of well-tempered and melancholic BM subjected to a right dosage of reverberation. Brilliant drumming, exquisite staccato guitar riffs. Bravo messieurs. Deadpanist
