Canadian heavy/doom metal act Cauchemar premiere a brand new music video for the latest single »La Sorcière« taken from their new full-length album, »Rosa Mystica«, out on May 16th, 2022 via the band’s own label Temple Of Mystery Records.

Directed, produced and edited by Anthony Jamie Bucciacchio.

Rising from their moss-covered crypt, Cauchemar is back with their third full-length, »Rosa Mystica«, the band’s first offering since 2019’s »Trapped Under Ice« compilation. Meticulously composed and rehearsed to perfection, the album is a fully realized expression of Cauchemar’s signature sound of somber traditional doom delivered with the vigor of heavy metal. Perhaps owing to two of the members’ recent migration from Montreal to rural Quebec, the atmosphere on »Rosa Mystica« is spacious and rustic, gilded by the warm glow of stained-glass luminescence through which cuts the burnished weight of François Patry’s guitars. Settled within bassist Andres Arango and drummer Joël Ladouceur’s vaulted geometry, the austere muscular riffs drive the songs, haunted by the spectral radiance of organs and Annick Giroux’s French-language incantations. Cauchemar’s highly praised performances with Pagan Altar in 2019 reified the band’s style, and »Rosa Mystica« – easily their most cohesive and complete – bears the confidence of a band that has come into its own. ~ Jason Campbell
