Azziard
“PREPARE TO CONFRONT THE DARK COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS”
Azziard is a French extreme metal band formed in 2001, evolving towards a modern black metal style with multiple influences. The band’s concept is based on a mix of Carl Gustav Jung’s works and the deep, dark instincts of the human species, exploring the complexity of the human psyche and its metaphysical aspects, the archetypes of collective unconsciousness, and the process of individualization responsible for the decadence of our civilization. Each person has a fundamental evil side, a side that longs to be expressed!
Over the years, Azziard has played alongside many of the big names of extreme metal, on tour or at festivals, including Belphegor, Behemoth, Emperor, Setherial, Gorgoroth, Watain, Aura Noir and more. Notable performances include Hellfest 2014, Triel Open Air 2014, Black Metal is Rising, Ragnard Rock Festival, Tyrant Fest 2018, and Winter Rising Fest 2018. The band was also on tour with Marduk and Ragnarok for the Viktoria European tour 2018.
Azziard has received praise from numerous publications and received high ratings on their albums. They have collaborated with notable artists such as Julien Truchan from Benighted and Psycho from Hats Barn.
