A French mystic from the 17th century, Louise de Bellère du Tronchay is renowned for her practices of violent mortifications and her tendency to humiliate herself publicly. Hospitalized in an asylum for women, as her faith is judged to be deranging by her spiritual leaders, she then becomes famous in the ultra-catholic communities of Paris. Among many other things, she ate ash, drank in a skull, tried to get beaten by strangers in the street, and licked the infected wounds of the other woman who lived with her. Louise du Néant translates to “Louise of the Void” or ”Louise of the Nothingness”.
Suffering can be a borderline experience, opening doors to the divine. Canadian black-metal-outfit GIVRE has dedicated its fourth album to this concept, well known throughout Christian history: On “Le Cloître” (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. Eisenwald is pleased to announce the release of “Le Cloître” for March 29th on various media.
