Servitude

The raw minimalist Montreal Black Metal band Akitsa's humble beginnings, a tape called Total Servitude, emerged in 1998. Even though Akitsa would grow into a more punk concern almost resembling G.I.S.M. at times, this demo shows a more Les Legions Noire sound and atmosphere, with a great deal of lo-fi experimentation and surface noise. Not one for the Black Metal dilattantes out there.

Prophétie Hérétique

Akitsa are a black metal band from Montreal that have more in common with G.I.S.M. than Darkthrone. Their songs deal in such themes as nature, pollution and the ongoing struggle for Quebecois independence. Their releases are never a disappointment and the "Prophétie Hérétique" 7" ep from 2004 is no exception. I believe that most of their full-length releases are still available (their great albums "Sang Nordique" and "Goetie" have recently been reissued by Hospital Records) so if this is to your liking check them out. In the meantime...
