Notable Quotes

❝ Even from the title and the cover, one can infer that the nationalist imprint that has always characterized Peste Noire's records is also present in this new release.

❝ In conclusion, "L'Ordure à l'état Pur" turns out to be a truly sick album, rich in insights and at the edge of the imagination of a disturbed mind, an album that deserves to be listened to and reconsidered numerous times. Chapeau.

❝ La Sale Famine Von Valfunde, the soul and beating heart of the Peste Noire project and of that strange "nationalist anarchy" that could only be born in France, is back.
