Canadian black-metal-outft GIVRE has dedicated its fourth album to this concept, well known throughout Christian history: On "Le Cloitre" (engl. "The Cloister") the band continues its exploration of the atoning side of pain and the austere aspects of faith through music that goes all the way from elegiac elegance to disturbing outbursts. Even the band deals with Christianity, through a historic lense, they should not be understood as religious band in any way! The group was founded back in 2010 in Rouyn-Noranda by David Caron-Proulx (Composition, guitars, keys), Jean- Lou David (research, vocals), and Mathieu Garon (bass) when they were just 16 years old. They self- produced a demo album, then moved away from their hometowns. David is now a composer for flm and mixed media and Jean-Lou is a writer and historian. In October 2020, ten years after their frst collaborative endeavors, they reunited and recorded two more albums: "Le Pressoir mystique" and "Destin Messianique". The creation of "Le Cloitre" was a lengthy process. While most recordings were made right after "Destin Messianique" in 2021, extensive work was done over an extended period of time to add layers and perfect the album's concept. Each of
the six songs corresponds to a holy woman from Christian history. The lyrics are taken directly from their writings or hagiography (an idealized biography), delving into their connection to the divine through suffering. The words are sometimes rearranged, but they are all direct citations without anything new added to them, from the symbolic poetry of Hildegard Von Bingen (1098-1179) to the disturbing and factual depictions of Marthe Robin (1902-1981).
The compositions vary to refect these different perspectives: sometimes dark and eerie, other times blissful or sorrowful. Therefore, a crucial addition to the album's atmosphere was the inclusion of female vocal performances. Additionally, samples from the French flm "Le dialogue des Carmelites" from 1959 are incorporated. Excerpts of a piece by Hildegard von Bingen are used in the song dedicated to her
Marthe Robin (1902-1981) / Louise du Néant (1639-1694) / Sainte Thérèse d'Avila (1515-1582) / Marie des Vallées (1590-1656) / Sainte Hildegarde de Bingen (1098-1179) / Sainte Marguerite de Cortone (1247-1297)
