Band

The band started as Dor Daedeloth, which was pretty straightforward a Nazi band. The released a demo called ‚Aryan Supremacy‘ which glorifies the Holocaust and NS-ideology. It later became also Peste Noire’s first release.

The bandlogo with the skull is derived from the logo of the ‚White Aryan Resistance‚, a US-Nazi organization founded by a high ranking Ku-Klux-Klan member. See symbol here.

The intro on the 2013 self titled album contains an excerpt from a speech of a LVF leader. The LVF was a volunteer unit in WWII consisting of French Nazi collaborationists which was later incorporated into the Waffen-SS.

The excerpt says: ‚ce n’est pas la france qui a ete battu, ce n’est pas le peuple français, c’est la bande de juifs de salauds de capitalistes qui nous dirigaient‘ (‚It wasn’t France that was defeated, it wasn’t the French people, it was the gang of Jewish capitalist bastards who ruled us.‘).

Between 2003 and 2012, Cyril Mendre contributed bass to the band, who owns the label Drakkar Productions, which releases a lot of NSBM. He is part of NSBM band Gestapo 666. He contributed to the NSBM bands Sacrificia Mortuorum and Order of the Death’s Head and also wrote lyrics for Satanic Warmaster.
